This is excellent hotel enhanced tremendously by the most friendly and attentive staff. The hotel property is very spacious and kept very clean. The food served in the restaurants is very good too. Free access to the pool, sauna and steam room is an added bonus. In short, one doesn’t have to leave the hotel, everything is taken care of in the most luxurious surroundings. Don’t miss this gem of the hotel if you are in Cork.

Efficient check-in. Very friendly staff. A bit of a wait at the bar without any acknowledgement but when served it was all fine.
Room was lovely. Food in the restaurant was really nice and huge portions.
