My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms, though a bit noisy due to overlooking the main road, were spacious and of good quality. I found the decor a bit lacking, but the room was at a high standard. The staff were incredibly friendly and made our short stop in Cork unforgettable, although there were some discrepancies between what was communicated. The location was perfect for exploring the city and local hospitals, just needing a bit of cleanup. The dining offered a buffet-style meal, and the lobby was great for a relaxing drink. The on-site facilities were well-maintained, and I enjoyed my time there.

The hotel has a lovely ambiance and great food, with some exceptional service from Arianna at the Spa. However, there were issues with the bar atmosphere due to a rude remark from one staff member and an unpleasant receptionist encounter. The location is nice with beautiful views at breakfast, but it's a bit far from the city center.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely fantastic! The rooms were perfect—so comfortable and clean each day. They were big and airy with good WiFi and a fabulous bathroom.

The dining experience was lovely, with a slight confusion due to restrictions but very good food nonetheless. The facilities were excellent, providing everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious and extremely comfortable but could do with updating. The service was superb, with efficient and friendly staff, although there was a mix-up with my sister's room booking. The location was good, close to the city center but lacked privacy in some areas. The dining experience was enjoyable, with good options available, but the price didn't always match the quality. Overall, a pleasant stay with room for improvement.
