Room decor is a bit dated, bathrooms in particular. Breakfast wasn't great really seeing as it's an expensive 4 star hotel.

Maldron Hotel Shandon Cork
I liked the central location, it was close to alot of things in Cork. What I didn't like was that the walls are paper thin and the bed was hard as a stone.

Isaacs Hotel Cork City
Offered upgrade to apartment. Nice to have extra space. Along street from hotel itself. Restaurant is run separate from hotel so must be booked separately. Staff very helpful. Particilarly Laura on reception.
