Oriel Hotel in Cork

The service was a bit slow and mixed up with no teabag in the teapot.

Wonderful 3 night stay, great breakfast and dinner. . One point no tea spoons on any tables for 2 morning.

Popped in for breakfast, food very tasty, great price for fresh produce, staff very professional. Would recommend The Talbot hotel to anyone visiting the area. Will return again soon . Thank you all.

From moment we walked in we were greeted by David, room wasn’t ready as we were early but he kindly took our bags and called us when ready, staff were amazing, so friendly and polite, we will definitely be back.👏👏👏

Beautiful hotel. Dinner was lovely and whilst we had a problem one evening it was quickly rectified however the hot breakfast was disappointing. Abby in the bistro was absolutely lovely and extremely efficient. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Fabulous stay. David & Aoife were so nice, welcoming & helpful in every way. I’ll be back again ( next week! ) .. I only stay at Talbot when working in Cork. Thanks again Kenny Syder

We really enjoyed our stay . The reception staff were so friendly and helpful The room was perfect and we were able to walk to the local pub for dinner . Highly recommended

Arrived at this Hotel on the afternoon of 31/07/2025 to be met with a smiling and very welcoming member of the reception staff. A swift registration, and I am on my way to a lovely room on the first floor. The room was immaculate with a super comfortable bed. Air conditioning was a welcome addition due to a warm afternoon. Unfortunately, I received a call to inform me of an urgent presentation needed via Zoom at 5 pm. Starting to panic, I approached reception to ask about a room with a screen, but unfortunately, there were none available. Pressure was beginning to build with stress levels getting out of hand. and that was when I met a beautiful Lady. This lady could read my stress levels and asked how I was doing. It turns out this Lady was none other than the General Manager, Janice. Within 10 minutes, Janice had organized a room with a large screen ready to use. She had me set up with a staff member with a sound knowledge of technology on standby to assist if needed—an excellent professional service provided by a very experienced staff. Two and a half hours later, after a successful meeting, I went to the Bistro for food. Service was excellent and the food was hot and delicious. I also notice some very excited children coming from the pool within the hotel. Happy smiles all around, and it's great to see. I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel for both business and leisure. Janice certainly lived up to the Hebrew origin for her name, "God is gracious, or a gift from God." An enjoyable, comfortable stay with a professional staff providing excellent service

A very nice hotel with lots of amenities

We have stayed in the Talbot a number of times recently for medical appointments. The rooms are newly renovated and very comfortable. The staff are very pleasant and friendly and the hotel is convenient to various hospitals and city centre if you have a car. Would highly recommend.
