The Quays in Cobh

12/05/2026: Very good accommodation. Nice Chinese restaurant within the hotel. Easy walk to the harbour. Rooms were quite clean and the person on reception is friendly and gives local recommendations. We stayed for two nights and absolutely loved our stay.

26/04/2026: Upon arrival yesterday we were very kindly asked if we wanted to see two available rooms, one upstairs and one downstairs, we chose the higher floor as it would have a seafront view. The seafront is visable from room 12 but I wouldn't pull a camera out as it's a very congested view with buildings in the way. The beds are god awful, ridiculously cheap overly hard spring mattresses that regardless of what the hotel has claimed in other reviews are quite obviously trash. I can see people from 4 years ago complained, I made the mistake of thinking the hotel would have listened to their feedback from multiple people, that's on me, however anyone thinking of a romantic get away with privacy can forget it. You could hear everything going on from the front door up the stairs and up another flight of stairs to reach room 12. I'm deaf in one ear and still could hear everything through the paper thin walls, things eventually quietened down around 4:45. Personally I do not blame the staff at all, the owners or whoever is in charge of furnishings needs a boot. Anyone with a bad back stay far away...danger lurks here and it's unavoidable.
