13/11/2024: I have stayed here before, and really enjoyed it. Beds were amazing, steam , sauna was fantastic!
However, this year I did enjoy it also, but felt it has been left in some areas and needs work!.
Changing room in gym and swim was dirty, floors wet (i mopped with one that was there )nappy left from kids swim. Some of the wood at the bottom of the lockers was totally rotten.
One.or two showers needed attention too.
I understand that it has a high foot fall, but the basic things need to be checked. The trainers were just sitting at the reception desk so we're not busy. Lovely people, just maybe needed a little.push to check things.
The breakfast was absolutely fantastic. Bar food was really good too. Service behind the bar was extremely slow,but the waiters were faster than last year.
Over all I did have a lovely stay. I am just personally picking things from last year.
Beds were not good this year, quite soft as last year felt amazing!
I only uses the shower once in my room and tbh glad , as it wasn't great. Power was awful.
I enjoyed staying here,possibly because my friends were with me....However disappointed that it wasn't the same as the previous year.
Probably leave it and try another hotel.
12/11/2024: I stayed here three nights in October for a business trip. It's a nice hotel and is located on the "island" in Cork between the two rivers, towards the eastern end. The hotel is showing a bit of age, but everything was clean and the room was comfortable.
The room was a very nice size by European standards, and had one full and one single bed. There was a work area and the bathroom was a nice size. Bed was comfortable, water was plenty hot, towels were fresh and there was tea/coffee in the room. No complaints at all.
There is a large breakfast room on the ground floor, and a coffee bar where you can grab a quicker bite. Breakfast was full Irish buffet, and cost 18 Euro in 2024 when I visited. Staff were friendly and the place was clean.
I didn't use the restaurant otherwise, nor the bar, but they seemed popular with guests.
There is public parking garage under the hotel, and I think it was 14 Euro per day with a small hotel discount; you have to remember to get your ticket validated at the front desk to get it however! Speaking of the front desk, they were friendly storing my luggage on the first day, and with calling me a cab upon departure. I would stay here again.
