I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were spotless and clean, very spacious, and had all the amenities we needed. While the location was gorgeous, it was a bit of a walk to the city center. The dining options were delicious, although a tad pricey. Overall, the hotel was perfect for us.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was a great size, very clean, and featured luxurious bedding, but it lacked a bath and air conditioning, which was a letdown. The service was friendly and helpful, although there was some tension during check-out. The location, while slightly awkward to access, offered great views and was ideal for sightseeing. The dining experience was lovely with attentive staff, but there were some improvements needed. Overall, a hotel worth considering for various types of travelers.

The room was a great size, very clean, and featured luxurious bedding. It included extra touches like a pod coffee machine and a handy guide phone for exploring the area. However, the setup of two single beds pushed together was not ideal, especially as air conditioning was missing and the lack of a bath was disappointing.

The hotel is situated at the top of a hill, not the easiest to find, with rooms that have a very suitable bathroom but are quite worn and damaged. It may not be ideal for guests with difficulty walking. The ensuite is small and the TV didn't work, though the service was welcoming and informative. The location offers lovely views over Cork but you may need to trek to the city center. The dining choices are fantastic, but staff communication could be improved. The hotel has some amazing features, such as its own cinema, but it can be overbooked by sports members, affecting the experience.

The hotel offers great value for money despite being in need of some updates. The rooms, while spacious, overlook the car park which is not very appealing. The service provided by the lovely staff is exemplary, with proactive actions taken to address any issues. The central location is bustling and charming, ideal for enjoying a drink on a summer evening.

The hotel rooms were fabulous with two large king-size beds and fab decor, although slightly small for 4 women preparing to hit the town. The rooms had a coffee machine and own branded toiletries, but they could get hot due to the weather, and the window couldn't be fully opened for fresh air. The prices are a little high for their size.

The hotel offers modern and tastefully decorated rooms equipped with artwork themes, though the warmth may be uncomfortable. The service is exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a perfect stay. Its location is fabulous for short walks, with great city views, even though it requires being at the top of the valley. The dining experience is fantastic, with a variety of options, but the coffee could be improved. With outstanding facilities and friendly staff, this hotel is a great choice for a comfortable stay.

My stay at the hotel was truly wonderful! The room was lovely and clean with a nice view of the city, although it was a bit too warm for my liking even with the radiator turned off. The service was exceptional, the staff were so friendly and helpful throughout the hotel. The location on the hill above the city provided stunning views of the whole valley. The dining experience was excellent with loads of unusual choices. Overall, a great value for money with some minor room temperature issue.

The hotel is like a maze to figure out where rooms are during a heat wave but has everything we need with no problems. The rooms could do with a revamp but are clean and a bit hard to get to. The service can be improved as staff were not always available, and there were instances of being ignored. The location is hard to find among the small streets and alleyways of Cork, but is perfect for being close to town yet away from noise. The dining experience could have been better with a wider selection, yet the grilled meat was amazing. The facilities are nice to use.
