The property grounds are outstanding, great for a walk or a bike ride along the Lee River. The staff are wonderful the front desk always ready to help guests. Rooms are very clean. Some minor issues would be a dripping faucet from a bathroom sink and paint chips in lift corridor of hotel around the door frame. Restaurant food is incredible. I ordered my special favourite Angus Beef Rib with mashed potatoes and roasted carrots and gravy. This dish is a Kingsley classic that should stay the test of time. All in al I truly enjoyed my stay at the Kingsley. I look forward to next time.

Efficient check-in. Very friendly staff. A bit of a wait at the bar without any acknowledgement but when served it was all fine. Room was lovely. Food in the restaurant was really nice and huge portions. While we didn’t stay long we had a lovely stay in Cork

Quiet, clean, comfortable, priced great

Visiting from America, checked in on a Wednesday night, barking is free and underground but limited. Limited. Unsure if there's other parking. Breakfast was included for us and tasted great, hot and cold food, overlooking the river area. The room was absolutely clean and quiet, the bed was very comfortable. The staff were great on our check-in and the same Ladies were there when we checked out the next day. We would definitely stay here again, this is priced Right.
