    A short guide to Cork

    Ireland's second-largest city was the European Capital of Culture in 2005. Cork's buildings date from medieval to modern times and include such landmarks as the medieval Red Abbey to the city's most famous, the church tower of Shandon. St. Patrick St., the main pedestrian shopping area, is curved because it was originally the channel of the River Lee.

    the rooms were really in a very bad condition.I was moved a number of times.The first room didn't have any heating,the second room I was moved to smelled, the window didn't close and when I tried to take a shower the water came through the ceiling!!! The third room was better but not a four star standard.The wallpaper was coming off the walls and the […] bathroom needs a revamp. This hotel shouldnot be advertised as a 4 Star. Read more

    Looked like value for money when booked. Unfortunately if you book room only through Hotels .Com you get rooms which have seen better days,long ago. I was booked in to a room on first night which was next to some form of boiler. I asked to be moved next morning and was issued another room. Directly under the thre previous room. Still next to the boiler. […] This boiler switches on and off constantly all night long. I decided not to bother asking to move again. Bar food menu leaves a lot to be desired. I will not be back. Worst stay I have suffered in any hotel. Can't understand the 4 star rating. Read more

    The staff were lovely and it is a beautiful old house however it is ruined by the overpowering smell of stale cooking that hits you the minute you enter the lobbey and it permeates the stairs and hallways. Thankfully it wasn't in the bedroom. However if you open the window the cloying smell of frying wafts in from the kitchen. Unfortunately the food […] was just as bad from dinner to breakfast. The menu promises modern cooking but dry bland fishcakes cooked in batter does not quality as Thai fishcakes. I don't feel in this day and age it is appropriate to serve up a greasy overcooked chips accompanied by a burger served on a bun with about a pound of shredded chedder cheese on each half no matter how well presented. As for breakfast, tinned fruit cocktail instead of fresh fruit and withered rubbery prunes is not acceptable on any level. I'm sorry to say I would not recommend this hotel to anyone nor would I stay again Read more

    Room 127 was too near elevator. Very noisy. Room 127 should not be used. Health club was a joke. That was the reason I booked this hotel. My wife was very disappointed. Would not stay again and would advise my friends not to stay either.
