28/02/2026: Nice hotel great staff but rooms need a serious uplift , old carpets old tvs leaking taps old shower heads , central heating .... could have had itnon longer , room was cold initially had to wear hoodie for half night, room.was very cold in the mornings hut for a short stay i didnt want to complain . Breakfast was nice all you needed in one place , be early forbthe freshest hot breakfast we arrived late and everything was over cooked had hard , again staff were fab in Breakfast hall full of chat and the cork accent singing miles ..... would I stay again ..... yes Cab to city ...12 to 14 euro Supermac's 800 m away Garage with nibbles 800 m away

24/02/2026: We held our Mothers final send off at Silver Springs. Everything was perfect, even when we had the traditional sing song at the end of the day when other people were eating in the restaurant was not a problem. The food was first class and we had table service for the drinks which was lovely. Thanks to all the staff who were really kind and nothing was a problem.

14/01/2026: I have diarrhea the next day after eating the steak.

06/01/2026: The meat here is incredible! I ordered the ribeye sandwich for 15 euros; it was generously filled and came with delicious roast potatoes. It's definitely one of the best places in Cork for meat in terms of value, as these types of restaurants in Ireland are usually expensive, but here all the stalls have roughly the same prices.

08/09/2025: Really nice cafe and great deal for açai lovers. An açai bowl (that you get to pick the contents of) and ANY coffee for €12. The açai is nice but not a strong flavour so that may be a deterrent for some. Coffee is good enough and they are generous with syrup. The toastie is one of the cheapest in cork (€5.50-€6.50) and it is nice quality. The cafe is dog friendly which is great especially if you’re walking at the lough. Would recommend!

27/08/2025: Great location for a chat and catch-up with friends.

05/12/2025: booked our Christmas party here, the staff and Lauren who we were dealing with were amazing , the food was excellent and really nice relaxed atmosphere, highly recommended

23/11/2025: This place is busy. We are almost at the holidays and the tables were all reserved for parties and functions. Standing room only so a friend of mine and I stood at the bar for a while until a couple of stools freed up. Since the parties at the bar were catered ordering food seemed difficult. We only had drinks and chatted nicely until the DJ came on and the music got louder. Then it got difficult to hear our conversation but we really enjoyed the music. 80's and 90's music which was nice and everyone started dancing. So much fun to be had and the dancers were in front of the door and getting out was a challenge. Overall my rating is 4 stars because we couldn't sample the menu. The drinks were good and the service was great. I will definitely return at a less busier time.

21/08/2025: The omelets (breakfast omelet), the scones, the beans on toast, the bread... Everything was delicious and mostly homemade. The woman who runs the cafe is lovely, very pleasant and smiling. You have to go there if you are in the area.

29/07/2025: Absolutely beautiful couldn’t get any better of service.Super prices and most of all a lovely bunch of people

15/06/2025: I had high hopes for this place, but after witnessing what goes on behind closed doors, I can’t recommend it. The lack of professionalism and questionable after-hours behaviour were deeply disappointing. What’s worse, after leaving my honest opinion, I received an intimidating message. That says more about the place than any review could. I was a regular customer. I expected decency, not fear. Not sure if management is aware, but if they are, that alone should be a red flag. Think twice before supporting this place.

14/06/2025: El fenix is possibly the best bar in cork city. Every single member of staff makes sure to make you feel welcomed. Savage music, beautiful pints, best spot in the city
