This
really
is
a
great
hotel
for
exploring
Cork.
It's
easy
walking
distance
to
shops,
bars
restaurants,
bus
stops
and
even
the
train
station.
The
hotel
was
clean,
the
room
was
super
comfortable,
the
staff
were
really
helpful
and
informative
and
it
had
a
welcoming
feel
about
it.
I
would
have
scored
this
a
5
star,
but
the
breakfast
was
quite
disappointing.
Had
we
paid
the
14.50€
each
required
to
partake
I
would
have
been
even
more
disappointed.
The
first
morning
they
ran
out
of
brown
sauce
and
there
were
no
baked
beans
as
it
stated
on
the
available
produce
list
even
though
I
asked.
No
big
deal
you
say,
BUT.
The
rest
of
the
food
was
so
dry
it
made
it
all
so
difficult
to
eat.
The
sausage,
bacon,
black
and
white
pudding
although
tasty
were
dried
up
under
the
heat
lamps
of
the
buffet
service
and
even
the
fried
eggs
were
solid,
so
no
solace
there.
Copious
amounts
of
coffee
and
fruit
juice
(which
were
readily
available)
were
required
to
swill
it
down.
We
ate
at
9am,
so
most
definitely
not
late
to
the
party.
Unfortunately
the
next
morning
exactly
the
same
situation
presented
itself.
Surely
to
goodness
they
could
have
sent
a
member
of
staff
out
to
acquire
these
basic
items.
(Shops
were
less
than
a
5
minute
walk
away).
A
pretty
poor
showing
for
a
hotel
chain
of
this
size.
(The
English
Market
serves
an
excellent
breakfast
for
about
the
same
price
just
10mins
walk
away).
Other
than
that,
I
would
recommend
this
hotel
and
would
be
happy
to
stay
again.
