Cork University Hospital Tours

This is a small flat on the top floor of a terrace house. Yes you can see the river just past the plumbers merchant yard and the industrial estate on the opposite bank. Access is via a very noisy shared stair case. First impressions on entering is a place which needs some upgrading and lacks furnishing - COSY it is not. The place was clean although old paint work and an excess of silicon on the shower tray gave the place a generally shabby feel. Then we opened the oven to find the grill pan had not been cleaned by the previous user. One pan was rusty and much of the cooking equipment had not been washed properly. Essentials missing were a plug for the kitchen sink, a basin to wash up in, a brush for the floor, cleaning cloths and products. There was no microwave or toaster and just the bare minimum of crockery and cutlery. As a self catering property it lacked equipment to self cater and keep the place in good order during our stay. Upon complaining a dustpan and brush was provided. There is a large smart TV, however, it had no aerial, and the broadband did not have enough bandwidth for uninterrupted streaming. After the first night we started to search for alternative accommodation and moved out after the third night of our 6 night booking. Just as well - a blockage in the drains was causing the water draining from the kitchen sink to come up into the shower tray. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Great location and very friendly staff.
