Great hotel. Comfortable room & bed. Staff was very helpful and quick to respond when we had an issue with the TV. Parking was an issue - we knew about it before arriving. Fortunately found parking on the street first night and in the hotel lot the second night. The area was walkable.

The room with a nice view. It was renovated and clean but toilet didn’t flush well. Housekeeping didn’t refill tissues and soaps when they refreshed our room but you can ask front desk and they are very nice in supplying it. The parking is very limited. We parked for 9€ a night from 5pm to 12 p.m next day. The staff were nice and friendly. Breakfast was very good but pretty much the same every day. There is gluten free options and fruits as well as oat and soy milk alternatives. Great coffee machine with many choices. You can request boiled or fried eggs if you don’t like the scrambled eggs at the the buffet. The location is not far from the city centre. We walked to shops and restaurants across the bridge. Overall I would return due to cleanliness, location and staff.

Eventhough I was assigned to a big room that comes with 4 beds in the shower curtain was set inward to the bathtub that narrowed the area you can take shower. Also, the shower gel and handwash dispensers were set on a very inconvenient locations. The bathtub drainage is poorly functioned.

Friendly helpful staff, great breakfast and comfortable modern bedroom. Very close to quiet historic area of Shandon and if you are staying for a few days it is easy to get bus trips to nearby villages such as Cobh and Kinsale.

Very friendly staff and very accommodating with our needs. However, the water only got warm in the shower. The executive suite was two beds pushed together too, not an actual King sized bed. The breakfast was good and overall, it was a good hotel. But the hot water needs figured out.
