Good Cork Location
We arrived from a long drive and found it difficult to pull up in front of the hotel, around 3 times before we could stop to unload. Parking was quite a long walk away. The hotel interiors were comfortable enough and the breakfast was good. The location, especially if you don't have a car is great for getting around. Cork was a bit confusing for a tourist, generally ok.

Great location downtown walkable to many places we wanted to see. Very close to the English market. We did a self guided tour and it conveniently started 400M from the hotel and went by the hotel. Very friendly staff. Clean and spacious rooms and comfortable beds.

Catfished and Overpriced
Don’t get cat fished by the pictures. This place is old which is cool but it is way over priced and beat. We stayed at some high end very old hotels in Ireland and this one sucked. Don’t pay over $150 for this place. FYI The parking is about an 8 minute walk away. Around 3 to 4 NYC blocks away.
