Excellent staff
a newish, modern designed hotel with many amenities (gym, restuarant etc.) Room was comfortable and location was central to transportation around the city of Cork. Staff is young and friendly and answered all our questions. THe ONLY down side was that our room was facing the Train station and it was a little noisy from the train horns which they blew off entering and leaving the station. Does not go on all night though so we slept well

Disappointed
Cool hotel but the accommodations didn’t measure up. We were given a handicapped accessible room as that was all they had left when we checked in. When you showered the whole floor was wet therefore wasn’t user friendly. No hooks in the bathroom for towels. Rooftop dinner was lovely but service was very slow.

Great hotel in general. All public areas really nice and bars too.
Only issue was the room is exceptionally small. Comfortable but small. I suspect there are larger ones available.

Excellent location
Great Restaurant
Excellent gym and pool facilities
Friendly staff
Comfortable modern clean rooms
Only con is that there is no wardrobe space in standard rooms and it may be noisy if you have a room facing the train station with early morning trains etc.
