"Room 333 was very comfortable with 2 double beds a bath and separate shower. The room had water, a coffee machine and tea making facilities. The staff were all very nice and helpful. It’s in a good location close to the town centre."

The Dean Cork

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this place! Such a cool vibe - great lobby, with a resident bar that stays open late, awesome gym, pool/steam room/sauna, helpful and friendly staff. Offers late check out (for fee) and luggage hold. In a very walkable area. You have to key in and key out of the floors outside the lift, so there’s an added layer of security for the rooms. I Loved the mini fridge and water boiler in the room - it made it easy to keep leftovers, make tea, etc in room. They have a filtered water station in the lobby for refill needs. it is next to the train station, but the trains stop running at night, and I used noise cancelling headphones."

Premier Inn Cork City Centre

8/10 Good

"The room was nice and it was really quiet. The staff were nice. I think they could allow guests to exit at all the stairs for more convenience as there is only one way to go out without setting off the alarm. For someone who is claustrophobic i prefer the stairs, they were just confusing to find the only stairwell that went to the lobby. Over all our stay was nice though."
