The property is wonderfully located by the River bank. It is a great location, very quiet. If you're a lone traveller, your room will be compact (a double bed in a smaller sized room). The room I had was a little tired and in need of a slight refresh. Other than that, the cleanliness was spot on, the staff went over and above for me and made me feel extremely welcome, so much so that I would definitely use this Hotel again if travelling to Cork. The Irish breakfast is absolutely amazing and well worth trying - excellent quality of food. A truly fantastic experience and a lovely historic Hotel with a warm Irish heart and soul.

Though construction is nearby the hotel is conveniently located along the quay and shopping areas. Breakfast was lovely with views of the river.

The hotel is quite worn out and needs update. Worn carpet, rusty plumbing in bathroom, overall feeling of lack of investment.
