Great location, an easy walk to St Finbar, the English Market and all the CBD stores. The NRG Gym was really good though the weekend hours open a little late for me. The restaurant and lobby lounge bar were really good, lots of choices at reasonable prices. My only complaint was the parking. On check in we had to circle the lot for 30 minutes. We would gladly stay here again though.

The service -- warmth, responsiveness, sense of humour -- of the staff were the best we have ever experienced. Ditto for the quality of the breakfast as well -- incredible variety of fresh, mostly locally sourced items so that even the continental option was an array of choices unlike any other of this type. Our room was luxurious: super comfy bed, gorgeous view, space, niceties in the room for making espresso, tea or regular coffee.

This hotel was beautiful! We stayed here for one one night in Cork but the staff was outstanding. Our room wasn’t quite ready when we arrived. Concierge kept our luggage and we received a free drink voucher for the bar and the drinks were phenomenal. Once our room was ready our bags were brought up for us and we were ready to go up. We also were given free waters for the road trip to our next destination. Great location, wonderful spacious bathroom. We loved it here!

They let us check in early and all the amenities provided were so helpful while traveling through Europe. The shampoo and conditioner is an amazing Jasmine smell that I looked up after my stay. Called a taxi for us to the airport in the morning. The location is a great walking distance to many attractions and the view of the water and city is unbeatable,
