My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms were disappointing in terms of value for money, being small and located above a noisy function room. However, the spacious rooms with a balcony were a plus point. The service was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff making my stay enjoyable. The location was good but required a taxi due to steep hills. The dining experience was fair, with some issues, but the facilities were adequate.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. Despite the small room size and some cleanliness issues with stains on the sheets, the service from the welcoming front desk staff and the lovely Megan at the Cookhouse was a highlight. The location, although not perfect and with some service mishaps, was convenient to Kent station. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with excellent room service but some disappointing breakfast options. Overall, the hotel has potential but needs improvements in several areas.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spotlessly clean but had a terrible view of technical ventilation. The service was lovely and polite, especially from Katie and Javier at reception, but outside of that, it was a bit disappointing given the cost. The location was quiet and suitable for parking, but the noise from kitchen extractor fans was a downside. The dining experience was underwhelming, lacking non-dairy options, although room service was beautiful.

The hotel has a great bar downstairs with plenty of seating open until 3 am for guests, providing nice views of the city from the balcony, but it's a bit of a walk to the first floor all around the building.

The hotel isn't in the city center, making it a little challenging to get to and from, but the area is very classy and stylish. It is a fair walk to the city center but provides a quiet retreat after the bustle of the Cork city center.

The dining experience was not great except for the wood-fired pizza. The price was slightly overpriced, and the offering did not include breakfast.

I had a fantastic stay at the hotel with beautiful, very comfortable rooms offering stunning views of Cork and the mountains. The service was top-notch with incredibly friendly staff taking great care of us. The location was peaceful, just a few minutes uphill from St Lukes Cross, ideal for a relaxing getaway. The dining experience was delightful with quality produce, although some non-dairy options were missing. Overall, a luxurious and welcoming haven.

After multiple stays at the hotel, I always find the rooms in the back building to be nice and cosy, exceeding my expectations with 2 sofas and a big TV. The location offers good views over Cork, but it's important to note that guests with limited mobility may need taxis due to the distance from the city center.

The hotel offers lovely rooms with a beautiful view of the city, though slightly dated and on the expensive side for a midweek break. The service was decent but a bit cold at times. The location provides easy access to various bars and dining options, but requires transport if heading to the city center. The dining experience was pleasant but could use more staff for a smoother service.
