    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 view from the hotel was great and one could see almost all of Cork from the Hotel room itself ,if you get the higher floors. Its a beautiful place with lovely architecture and the building was around 140 years old but very well maintained with charming romantic air to it. The breakfast was also very good and at the reception one of the ladies was […] particularly helpful. Free parking is a bonus. The rooms are also good with all the amenities like tea/coffee maker etc. Cons; About 10-15 minute walk to the city centre or the train station, not particularly difficult, but I would have to recommend taking a cab back( approx 5-6 euros only) as the hotel is located on a hill.

    I stayed here with my mum and was aware of the 'steep hill' leading to the hotel. It is very steep, but a pleasant walk into town, and cheap taxi ride back to the hotel. The staff were very friendly and seem happy working there. The chamber maids were lovely, very chatty and helpful. Our room was fabulous, only complaint I had was my mum got the double […] bed while I settled for the single which wasn't very comfortable. But, loved, loved loved it!!! Will def stay here again when we return to Cork! Food in the hotel was also very good, although we were never up in time for breakfast lol. Read more
