Good central hotel.
We stay here when on business in Cork. Hotel is lovely. Comfortable. Very central and good value generally. I’m not a fan of attic rooms as limited ceiling space. Our room although billed as a de luxe was dark with small window. No heating in the bathroom which was a little chilly in the mornings! Breakfast and dinner nicely cooked and presented. Limited gluten free options though which was a problem for us.

Nice hotel, but poor service
Great location and a nice room. The experience doesn’t reflect the 4 star rating in 2 respects: 1) brown water ran from the bath faucet and, when I rang reception, the receptionist was nonchalant to say the least, and 2) service at breakfast was very unprofessional. I waited 10 minutes to order a cup of coffee, as the waitress was too busy discussing her college course with a colleague within my earshot. When l got to order coffee and it finally arrived, it had spilled into the saucer, and the waitress simply walked off. The restaurant needs better trained staff, and better supervision.
