The hotel is quite old, but it was clean overall. However, the carpets in the room showed their age, and the bed sheets had stains from excessive wear. Unfortunately, they only provided a thick comforter as a bed cover, which might be great for winter, but it's really uncomfortable during the summer months. On the bright side, the room had a functioning AC and plenty of space.

My main issue was with the breakfast, which left much to be desired. Firstly, it was an à la carte menu rather than a buffet, limiting options. The choices leaned heavily towards meat and dairy, and the fresh fruit bowl was disappointing. The waitress didn't offer alternatives like oat milk, and the cereal and granola were of very low quality. The bread selection was frankly awful, and I felt breakfast should start at 6 AM since many guests want to explore the city early, especially those eager to make the most of their day.

Aside from this, the hotel was decent, with ample parking and plenty of room.

We stayed at the hotel for a family occasion. We tried to check in at 1:30pm, room wasn't ready, reception didn't ask if we wanted to leave luggage. When we got to our room the accommodation was basic and clean. The breakfast was good the next morning, staff could have friendlier and more attentive. We went to the Leisure Centre, the pool area is absolutely filthy, tiles hanging off the walls. The Jacuzzi was dirty and had a really bad smell off the water. The sauna and steam room need a full refurb

Can't think of anything that I liked, if anything the bed was comfortable? The gym is in shambles, the hotel staff are confusing, everything is an additional charge like breakfast, everything... It's oddly quiet and the entire Hotel, and the rooms are not very soundproof and you can hear all the other guests quite easily. Both above and below you as well as beside you. 25 years ago or so. Maybe a four-star hotel, but presently, very far from.

This hotel is very well located for travelling around the Cork City, Cobh, Kinsale areas. The pool was nice and big and even though there were a good few people there, it did not feel crowded. We had a family room with a double bed and two single beds, which was perfect for us. The shower (which was separate from the bathtub) was fantastic. 5 stars for the shower alone!! And we liked the shampoo/shower gel so much, that I have purchased a bottle to use at home. Breakfast was good as well. Would definitely stay again and would recommend this hotel to others.

Room temperature was 28 degrees when we arrived absolutely ridiculous. One window was nailed shut. Window in the bathroom didn’t tilt so couldn’t leave open as birds may fly in. Glass top on the vanity table. Glass not lifted for cleaning, plenty of crumbs underneath it and coffee residue. Green leather wall panel behind bed absolutely covered in dust. Dinner was not nice- rotisserie chicken which I received within 10 minutes of ordering so obviously batch cooked earlier in the day. It was sooo dry and the potatoes were cold. I had 2 bites of the chicken couldn’t eat anymore. Breakfast strange set up. Set up buffet style but all served to the table. No croissants and the poached egg was overcooked. Definitely won’t be staying again. Maryborough House Hotel is a far nicer hotel.

Staff were great and the main hotel is also a lovely building. Lovely reception area. The bathrooms of the bedrooms unfortunately let the hotel and stay down very badly. We arrived to find a bathroom that smelled terribly. We quickly identified the issue as the shower drain. Arriving late at night for a one night stay, we were too tired to face a room change and flushing the shower tray with copious shower gel and water did the trick, temporarily at least. But the shower tiles and grouting were shabby and weathered, the bathroom fittings are generally clapped out and the dripping toilet did not flush properly. The bedrooms and bathrooms need reinvestment and upgrade to warrant a four star stay. The bathrooms are very much three star facilities at best. Surprised to find the breakfast area also that could have operated buffet style doing table service only. It made the breakfast selection feel limited and less relaxed. The laminated breakfast menu made the experience seem a little cheap. Toast arrived when we didn’t particularly want it to come and it went cold. Reinstate the buffet!

Adequate, not amazing

Good: The roll-away bed was very nice for us and they delivered it quickly and for free. Staff was very courteous.

Bad: The toilet wouldn't flush properly (physically broken toilet mechanism), so we had to go down to the lobby of the conference center to use the toilet for anything serious. In fairness, we didn't complain because we didn't want to go through the hassle of changing rooms because we arrived late enough that the kids were exhausted and it was going to be a whole thing of making them unmake, fold-up, move, fold-out, and remake the roll-away bed and everybody just wanted to relax, so we decided just to deal with heading to the lobby.

Everything else just sort of falls into the ok but not great category. No electrical outets by the beds, so everything had to be charged across the room. Everything is old and dated. TV is small and not very smart, but we had access to the side of it so I connected our laptop to it and we had what we needed for the kids. Cooling of the room (which is always a huge deal for us) was adequate, but we were there in October and we opened the window the crack that was allowed and turned the fan on full blast and the room stayed cool, but I can't be certain that you would consider that A/C, so your mileage may vary in the summer.

Needs improvement.

Upon arrival we were barely greeted at reception. The room we received could not have been further from the entrance which was hard with two toddlers, bags and a baby. Not even an offer of help or an offer or a trolley to help us with our belongings. However, it was a lovely reception area.
After the long walk to our room, we discovered the toilet didn’t flush, and had to press the button about 5 times for the toilet to actually flush which was a bit awkward.
We decided to head down to the pool. Thinking it would be just down the hall to an elevator that would take us down to the pool floor. We were so surprised when we realised we actually had to cut across the lobby in our swimming gear to get to the pool. If there was an easier way to get to the pool, it was awfully confusing and unfortunate that we were not informed by any member of staff about the better route to the pool facilities. If the only way is through the lobby then anybody with children should be prioritised to stay closer to the pool. After arriving at pool reception we were informed it was €11.00 for a pair of arm bands- my jaw nearly hit the floor. €11.00 for a pair of armbands that are worth €2.00 at best not to mention them being a life saving device for my child should be free. After paying good money to stay in a hotel they can’t lend a pair of armbands? very upsetting. However, we enjoyed the pool- it was lovely. Having no plug sockets beside the bed was crazy. Staff did bring an extension up.

It was a poor experience overall for us because our room didn’t have AC, while air conditioning is advertised on hotels.com. Even with the cool temps outside, minimal airflow caused the room to be warm enough that we all were sweating throughout the night. Additionally, the rooms’ furniture, fixtures, finishes, etc were all quite old and in need of repair or replacement (non-functioning outlets, toilets you have to play with to make flush, shotty updates, etc). Not sure how this place is classified as anything more than a 2 star hotel.

Hotels in Cork are pricey, and this was one of the cheaper options. It’s a bit far from the city centre but really close to the airport, which was perfect since I arrived late and there was no public transport at that time.

I had two one-night bookings and asked if I could stay in the same room—they told me to check again in the morning, but I ended up keeping the room anyway. Would’ve been easier if they confirmed it when I checked in so I didn’t have to pack everything again.

Getting to the city by bus isn’t super convenient—you have to walk 10–15 mins to the stop, but I knew that beforehand. The room wasn’t cleaned properly (found a used towel in a cabinet), the bathroom light switch was almost broken, and it was a bit noisy from the hallway.

Overall, it’s okay for the price and good if you need quick access to the airport.
