The noise was too much, so I requested a room change. However, I was informed that no rooms were available. I had an issue with my keycard even after being informed that I had to reserve a room.

Cork is great. We love coming here with our friends and family when they visit Ireland. It always impresses.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Take the bus to Blarney Castle, it's easy (2,80E each way). If you're heading back late in the day there may be a bit of a wait for the bus (but there is a pub with wifi right by the bus stop). Blarney Woollen Mills is a worthwhile stop too.
