"Ambassador Hotel. Cork."
Stayed here a number of times both on business and pleasure. Staff have always been courteous. Free ample parking. Rooms large and comfortable. Only negative would be taxi ride down to city centre but reception will organise. Taxi is 7euro. Never had breakfast but bar food is good. I will be back.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Large and open hotel, with nice rooms and comfy"
All in all a very nice place and good value, friendly people and I was lucky to get a very large double room, could have slept 6! Not brand new but then that gives it more of a traditional feel. Just need to get a decent flat screen TV in the room, would very much stay again for the moneyGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good value"
This is a nice hotel but it is in need of refurbishment and modernisation. Clean and warm and the staff were all great. Good value as well. Wifi didn't reach the room and the lift didn't work either, but wifi did work in reception and the bistro. Plenty of parking as wellGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"A grand old lady in need of some T.L.C"
The hotel is high on the hill to the north of the city and if you have a front facing room the veiw over Cork is worth it. Most rooms don't benifit from this. The walk into town is'nt far and all down hill, its the return that may chalange some.The hotel its self, has a grand feel but has seen better days. The bar is very bassic the food just Ok, but […] the service particularly at breakfast is very good. We had a bit of a disaster in the room on arrival(plumbing malfunction) which ment a change of room, this was handled very well. I would stay again as my stay was one night for business. Cork is a wonderful city and the people make it very worthwile Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

A very pleasant experience at a very affordable price!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Nice, old style hotel...only problem is that the car park is a bit small if they have conferences in site.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
The fish selection on the bar menu was superb.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Quaint hotel"
Old style hotel with high ceilings and wide corridors. Lights in bathroom took about 10 seconds to come on is my only serious complaint. Easy walk into town but a tough walk back for some as all up a steep hill. Very pleasant staff. Would stay againGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Faded elegance"
Very nice and comfortable place. High ceilings, quality linens. Room was very clean. Recommended.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
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 moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
I have stayed at the Ambassador on a number of occasions for work. The staff have always been great and the food is excellent. Although I travel alone, I have always been given a huge room with a double and a single bed. I look forward to returning to teh Ambassador again in the near future.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"The Ambassador Hotel"
I stayed at The Ambassador Hotel one Tuesday night in Janauary 2012. I found the hotel to be very comfortable and the staff were very welcoming. The room was clean and comfortable with a kettle and plenty tea and coffee. As I was working in the city centre I found the location to be very convenient, a 15 minutes walk no need to bring the car. I did […] not eat at the hotel . I would be happy to stay again when I am next in Cork. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great service"
Made feel very welcome by April in reception & Stephanie in the barGenuine Hotels.com guest review
TV - still need to upgrade that can get all channels Would like to see that Coffee in the room is replenished daily Overall friendly staff and good quality foodGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Reliable"
The hotel is not in the centre of town so it best suits drivers. The staff were great, the facilities reflect the price as in our room was €75 for the night & it was well worth that. The leisure area is great for people travelling on business. The jacuzzi, steam room & sauna are all really clean and nice and quiet. The room was in the older part […] and it was fine. Super clean, beds were comfy & tv worked fine. Nice and peaceful and a reliable place to stay. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ambassador Hotel , Cork"
Very friendly Staff and Hotel Located 15 minutes from City Centre. Walk back from City to Hotel is up a significant hill - manageable for the fit of heart. Quality of Food was very good and breakfast was excellent , a little pricey at € 11.50 for Full Irish. Television in room did not have all channels working, same as on a previous review. Overall […] had an enjoyable experience and would recommend. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"The Ambassador Hotel, Cork"
The hotel is a period building located in the North of Cork City. It's relatively easy to access and parking is provided. The staff were friendly and the room and bathroom were exceptionally clean. The food provided was v. good and overall service was excellent and helpful. The major let down is the wireless broadband. While it's available in all rooms, […] the speed never gets beyond 11-12Mbps. After 30mins of trying to access e-mail I just gave up. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Haven in Cork City"
Had a lovely stay at the Ambassador Hotel, fantastic location, especially if you want to exercise those calf muscles, great views over Cork city and only a 10 minute walk into town. There was also ample parking which was great. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was lovely and clean and comfy. Also a big plus for me, was the lack of […] any nasty perfumy or strong smelling cleaners, the staff were very understanding when I asked them not to use them. The only down side was the internet access in the room which was variable to say the least, I was assured they are working on this and that good access is available in the lobby and bar (which I didnt visit).This may not be an issue for lots of visitors and dont let it put you off. Highly recommend this hotel and will stay there in the future. There are some very good deals available during the week. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good value and top service"
The hotel was about 5/10 mins walk from Cork town centre with rather a steep climb up. I was given a room on the top floor which was overlooking the town. Being rather high up it had a cracking view of the city below. The room was huge (booked a standard double) with a single and double bed, large bathroom with bath and shower, desk, chairs, tea and […] coffee and everything you would need. I discovered my shower wasn't working so mentioned it at the desk before i went into have dinner and it was sorted by the time i got back. Staff were very friendly and helpful and dinner in the restaurant was delicious. The decor is very traditional which is in keeping with the building which looks to be a former stately home. So lots of carpet and heavy furnishing, but with most hotels these days being "modern" it made a refreshing change. Highly recommended Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"The Ambassador Hotel, St. Lukes, Cork City"
A Clean, Friendly Hotel located in a quiet neighbourhood, close to city centre and train and bus station. The Room itself was lovely and comfortable, clean and quiet.I was after a long day in work and needed a great nights sleep. The decor in the lobby, halls etc was quite worn and dated. New Carpets, rugs, lick of paint would have spruced it up as […] carpets shabby, paintings faded etc. Little touches to modernise it. It's a quiet hotel overlooking the city, great if you need a good nights sleep, with black out blinds & really comfy beds. If you're looking for 4 star it's not quite there, but still would stay there again, as comfort, quiet, friendliness and convenience were all great. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ambassador hotel Cork"
Very nice clean hotel with exceptional service.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice enough but not more of a three star."
Decent enough hotel, nothing spectacular, for a four star I was expecting a bit more to be quite honest, room was decent, clean and comfortable. It seems to be have been originally quite an old hotel that has been revamped in recent years. Close enough proximity to the city centre, though if you don't like walking up a steep enough incline to get to […] it then you're not going to like it. In summary I would imagine anyone would be happy staying here but I'm sure there are much newer four star hotels in and around the city. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Limited facilities"
Because the stay was midweek the bar was closed.Due to the number of other residents there was a delay in availabilty of food and seating in the only bar that was available.The food was excellent when served. The room itself was well equipped and great value for money withthe large windows providing great views over the cityGenuine Hotels.com guest review
