Good location, has car park

Good location, clean, modern, has a car park, which is rare in Cork City Center. The breakfast (included in my stay) was good only thing I wish it had was a gym and/or leisure center.

Great Place to Stay

Top-class, affordable guest house that is on par with any 4* hotel in terms of room quality, comfort, service and amenities. Just 3 minutes walk to the university and 5 minutes walk to the city centre. Highly recommended :-)

The hotel is remodeled and is very nice. The location is also very good, close to the university and not far from the city center. The room was extremely hot though, and there is no AC. Unfortunately leaving the windows open would not help either, the room stayed very warm even though outside was cold.

Modern stay in Cork

This was a modern and refurbished hotel. Room and bathroom were spacious. Staff were helpful, and there was a lift. Parking on site was free. It was a little walk to town centre, but easy. Breakfast was good too.

Property was nice. A little away from things to do but not to far. We could still walk. Parking could be a problem. They don’t seem to have enough spots. Twice we left to walk around and another person asked if we were driving so they could have our parking spot.
