Great location with historic surroundings
Reception good - nice welcoming staff. Great location and good parking below the hotel . Great sea view from our room and a few minutes walk to the railway station for our day trip into Cork. Heritage centre next door worth a visit - a lot more interesting and more to it than it looks from the outside. Ate in the restaurant - service was ok and food was ok but menu not very exciting. Staff could be more attentive as we had to keep asking for things. All Brits please note - at breakfast which was otherwise good - they DON’T DO brown sauce - suggest you bring your own!

A small but beautiful hotel right on the water. Clean and safe room. On site parking available. Restaurant provides good food and service. The only disadvantage is that there is no elevators.

Needs updating
This hotel was very different from what I expected from the pictures/reviews. The rooms are the equivalent to the cheapest, most uncomfortable hotel chain in America. Mattresses are thin and sunken in and almost impossible to sleep on. I could never get the shower to give warm water, it was either scalding or cold. Coffee at breakfast was instant, but the rest of breakfast was very good. I don’t mind a hotel being old, we stayed at some lovely old b and bs here, but this one, although my hopes were high due to pictures and reviews, was more worn and in desperate need of an update from beds to showers/tub. Spackling drips all over tub bottom where I guess they patched holes.

Fabulous views of the working harbor. Best meals in Ireland! Delicious, beautifully presented, and served breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The room was comfortable. The staff was sweet and helpful. The location was perfect - next to the Heritage Museum and a short, scenic walk to lovely Cobh.

The room had a lovely view out over the water. It had basic furnishing but comfortable.
