    Beds were comfortable, rooms lovely and tastefully decorated and the common areas elegant. The Restaurant service represented an extremely disappointing experience due to low food quality and incompetent chefs in basics: Not only the company which booked your hotel for dinner and event sent all allergies and dietary requirements months in advance, but also did so second time around again weeks in advance to doublecheck these. Also paid a significant amount of money for a 4-course meal dinner. The kitchen acted surprised and unprepared for all. NONE, not a single of the allergies and dietary requirements were met. (Dairy free, gluten-free, vegan ). The untrained staff confused terms for vegetarian and vegan. The last second fixes were underwhelming at best; One person got walnut shells causing dental expense as one shell incrusted in tooth, from the not fresh at all salad. The main "Stir fry" was actually a plate of rice with two limp carrot and pepper pieces of which was cold and four plates remained untouched. We had to request a potato dish in desperation as our group remained hungry only to be served four kid size meal cups skinny fries. After insisting on dairy allergy at the tables along the night, upon desert ordered, two people still get sick as the kitchen must not be aware of all ingredients containing dairy because there was butter / milk in that chocolate dessert, and it involved days of stomach recovery. The non-allergy or dietary requirement guests were unimpressed, as hotels in the rest of Europe regarded as less stars and an everyday Cork establishment can cater more adequately and tastefully. I shall only speak for our group of six guests from the department that night when stating our office canteen chefs are more qualified. Absolute waste of money, time, health discomfort and will absolutely not vote to be back either with the department as a company or individually for leisure. Do not recommend.

    Nice place but disaster for bands. Avoid at all costs it’s a nightmare. One small lift and two sets of stairs to get up the level where they have the bands play. Complete and utter bad experience. Was a great wedding and the staff there are friendly. For a visit it’s great, for a couple getting married it’s great, for the band hired to entertain……AVOID….especially if you have a load of equipment, there’s just no easy in or out of the place

    We had a lovely time at the hotel even though it was for 1 night stay. The staff are super friendly especially at the front desk and very helpful. We had a lovely size room with the view of the city. Breakfast was good as well. Thank you for a great stay.

    Hotel location was good. Check in was smooth. Carpet falling off main stairs. Paint peeling in the bathroom, wasn't tiled well. No fan in bathroom. Front door very loud, could clearly hear from room. Mo water in the room to drink. Food in the restaurant was really poor. Chicken in salad was so dry and overcooked, and the black pudding was the same. Breakfast was not good either. Overall for a 4 star hotel it was a bad stay. Should be a 2/3 star max.

    Had a wonderful stay here. Perfect location, it is on a hill but we walked down into Cork no problem and got a taxi back which was less than 10 euros but it is walkable. Lovely warm welcome with really friendly staff. We got a complimentary room upgrade which was amazing. The room was huge, it even had a balcony with a view of Cork. They even left us a dessert plate for our anniversary which was a lovely touch. We didn't eat in the Hotel but we used the bar which was nice, quiet really but we sat at the bar and chatted with the bar staff. Onsite parking included. Great checkout also. Highly recommend, it's a lovely Hotel with friendly and helpful staff.

    Very good hotel, very clean. Staff is extremely friendly! The location is not bad, close to city center. I'd totally recommend it. The only one thing to say, the manager needs a bit of manners.

    Beautiful hotel and room, very clean, it has a lovely outside área to have breakfast or lunch. The view from the room was really nice too.The location is not too bad either, near city center. I'd totally recommend it. The only drawback I found is I asked if they could bring breakfast to my room and they said the charge €5 for that but all in all great stay

    Stayed here for 3 nights. Not a good experience at all. There were loud noises going off periodically throughout our stay, We weren't sure if it was the heating or something else. We wanted to have dinner in the restaurant and tried to book for 8pm one night and I was told abruptly no no that 70 people would be there at that hour and we should go elsewhere. Not the nicest thing to say to a guest. We were locked out of our room 2 days in a row (each time after returning from the city) and when I went down to complain the 2nd time, they started making excuses which did not add up. There was also a man complaining before me so that just shows how lacking the staff are. We did end up getting dinner there the second night. The food was nice but very expensive. We didn't have breakfast in the hotel as they wanted to charge us 30 euro per day (for 2 people) and the menu was incredibly basic for the price they wanted to charge. The room was ok, nothing spectacular. There was work being done at 4am until late one morning outside our window. They also didn't ask if we enjoyed our stay. I would not recommend this hotel at all.

    Food was not good. Waited over half hour for a simple breakfast, when it arrived it was not well prepared. Overpriced also. Waiting staff were rude when I asked about the prices from bill. No prices on menu … 30 € for a very small Irish breakfast 😏 Come on guys, this is supposed to be 4 star!!

    It is a spectacular hotel well restored old building but modern rooms and the staff are awesome. Having two Katie's at the check in desk made it easy to remember - and I'm not sure which one was nicer! Thank you ladies, you do an awesome job especially dealing with those Canadians!!

    Very nice hotel in Cork. Have to say that the stand out point for the Address Hotel has to be the staff, very nice lady checked us in on Saturday (didn't get her name) she was extremely friendly and helpful and a delightful person to greet us on arrival. The night porter Don was an absolute character and although we were in Cork for a concert, I would have bought tickets to see Don live, the management hopefully know that he is an amazing asset to the hotel. Breakfast was very nice and well presented, rooms were large and very clean, shower was also very nice. Great job guys ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • 5/5 Heather O. 8 months ago on Google
    Don the night porter was the highlight of our trip. He made every night a barrel of laughs. We were there for a family wedding and anytime we popped down to the bar this man on the ball and had our drink ready in hand. He really made it special and deserves some recognition for his hard work. Also amazing astrologist reading our horoscopes.

    Hotel was very nice, modern in an old building. We only had breakfast in the hotel which was nice. They don’t have the widest of options available in hot food but enough to fill ur belly! One thing I would urge you to change is the sausages 🫣. Wouldn’t call them Irish pork sausages! The staff at breakfast on our first morning were amazing but the second morning was just all over the place! We had a very nice surprise after we checked in and went up to what we found out was the bridal suite. Very nice and spacious room with a fab view. Not something I think they can fix as there isn’t much spare room around the hotel but just so you know that there isn’t much parking so be prepared to park either on the road outside or even further away as we had to!

    An excellent experience at the address hotel cork for a friends hen party. A pleasure to deal with all the staff and they were really helpful. The hotel is fabulous. Rooms were so comfortable. Thanks to all at the address for a great weekend!

    Let's start out with location. On top of the big hill far away from pretty much everything. If you are walking to the main areas of Cork, be prepared to get a good leg workout. Our arrival at the hotel was hostile. The woman behind the desk was irritated for some reason, and talked down to us. She was not very friendly. The room was spacious, but there was no climate control of any kind. It is an old Georgian style building, so it makes sense, however, they can be built in. The room was warm from the open curtains, the only source of cooling was to open the windows. There were stains in the carpet, on the curtains (see pictures), and the sitting chairs were a little retro looking and not very comfortable. The bed was comfortable, but the comforter was much too heavy. The bathroom sink had either hot or cold separate faucets (see picture). You cannot get warm water at all. What a poor design choice. The cleaning staff had shut the drain to the sink, and it took us forever to figure out how to open the drain cap. It has to be pushed down to pop it back up. Another poor design, who wants to put their hands at the bottom of a sink where everyone spits out toothpaste? Gross. The tub/shower was another issue. The basin was incredibly narrow, no anti slip mat, no grip. I slipped and almost killed myself. It was super slick. The shower heads were confusing to control, and the hand held shower head and hose was broken on the pole which made it difficult to keep at a higher level. The room door had tons of gaps, so when the wind was blowing and the windows were cracked to keep it cool, the door whistled ALL NIGHT LONG. Speaking of doors, let's talk about the front door to the hotel (see picture). When someone opens one side, the other side of the door gets pulled along with it. Then it bangs shut. So every time someone entered or exited the building, the bang was heard up on at least the first floor in front of the building. ALL DAY and NIGHT LONG. Every 2-5 minutes that damn door was banging. Let's talk about noise. They were building a new patio of some sort out front. We loved the yelling of the workers and the constant brick saws going all day. Can't close the windows because then the room gets too warm. There was a big spillover party one night out front. Maybe a dozen drunk people, 11pm-2am. We complained to the person at the desk at 1am and he said "I'll try to get them to quiet down." Well, they went on for another hour. Since the room doors have gaps all around, you hear EVERYTHING in the hallways. Someone walking, talking, yelling, the doors slamming shut. I regret booking this place, it was a disaster. We stayed at the Address in Dublin and it was far superior to this one in Cork. We will never ever stay here again. I have nothing really good to say about our stay here at The Address Cork.

    Atmospheric property overlooking city and River Lee. Rooms are spacious and well kept. Beds were hard and could be more comfortable. Food offering was average overall. The roast beef special was tough and breakfast on the first morning with cold fatty bacon a disappointment. The staff are friendly at reception. The departure was efficient however I don’t quite understand why I was not asked how I enjoyed my stay! Overall I believe the property to be good value, location and parking are a benefit. The restaurant offer needs refined and staff a little more attentive. Worthy of its 4 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • 2/5 Alvydas J. 7 months ago on Google
    I stayed in a hotel for 4 nights and this is my review. Room is spacious , bed was nice . Shower with bath quiet small but good strong power in shower . Carpet was stained and dirty, room service was incomplete, dusty. Breakfast was nice with good service but a very limited option. Dinner service was bad I didn't like how they greeted me. I had to wait for half hour because they decided I'm waiting on somebody. Very rude , very bad experience. Made me feel like I was unwelcome there .Car park had limited spaces. Also ground works and painting happening outside and inside of hotel. Smell of paint you can't hide from it. Gym equipment broken. Overall I would rate my stay 2 stars out of 5.

  • 4/5 Grainne M. 6 months ago on Google
    Lovely hotel but a bit isolated if you don't have a car! The best bus to get there is the 208 and then you have a little extra walk uphill!! Food in McGettigans was lovely but the fact that it is a bit far out of the centre for anyone without a car makes it impractical.

  • 5/5 James S. 1 year ago on Google
    Can't fault the place. Room was lovely with a great view when it weren't misty and raining lol . Bar staff friendly I spoke to member of staff called Ray very helpful and all round Nice fella.

    Have stayed here a few times now. It just gets better and better. Friendly staff, elegant, clean rooms with fantastic views and very good food. Highly recommended.

  • 3/5 Brad W. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice hotel that is close to the train station and easy walk to the main portion of Cork Found restaurants and pubs easy to find and walk to. Nice property, but very hard to navigate due to layout. We had to ask directions to our room 3 times. This hotel would get 4 stars except hills to it are murderous when walking back at night (but great going down), hotel is still renovating, and the breakfast was subpar compared to similar experiences we had in the other tour booked hotels. But, I promise, the good way outweighed the bad. And they are just opening back to tourists…

  • 5/5 Scott J. 1 year ago on Google
    Chic hotel in North Cork. Spectacular views of the city from the balconies. Well-decorated rooms and the high ceilings make them feel even bigger than they are. The property used to be a hospital but long since updated. A bit further from many of Cork's great restaurants but I would recommend venturing out over the hotel restaurant, especially for breakfast.

  • 4/5 Paul J. 2 years ago on Google
    Great hotel with clean, big rooms with views out over Cork. The restaurant was absolutely fantastic and a huge bonus. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The only downside is that I thought my bathroom needed a bit of tlc, but a lot of renovations were taking place on other floors, so maybe this is being done already.

    The Address Cork, Well where do I start, driving up to the Hotel it looked magnificent. The lavender frontage was beautiful. Insects houses each side of the main door looked so well and showed they are very aware of the environment and nature. Stepping inside the front doors it was like Stepping into another world.The wall paper set the sene for the Hotel , it was done very sympathetic done. Social distance and hand sanitisers was present all over .The lady at reception was very pleasant and welcoming, actually she couldn't do enough for us. As we entered the elevator there was 2 armchairs where you could sit and have a private chat, we were on the first floor, the view over Cork was breathtaking. We had a balcony. The room was lovely and had everything that you needed. The bathroom was excellent and the bed was well presented and comfortable. We went down for dinner that we had previously booked for 7pm . We were invited to take a table at the window looking out on the lights of Cork. The food was excellent believe me we are fussy , but not a negative word could I find except maybe a little too much, but it didn't stop us clearing our plates. I have never seen a bar full of ever kind of drink, cocktails to you ordinary pint Showstopper. I was attending a Hospital in Cork and we asked the receptionist how long would it take from the hotel to the Hospital, she was so exact and indeed we were there at the time she told us , as Cork in in the middle of roadworks and the traffic was very buzy in the morning .would I stay there again definitely without a doubt. Would I eat there , I would highly recommend it. If you are looking for somewhere to stay in Cork definitely look up the Address Hotel, and they are very reasonable rates. Anyone into history the Hotel was a convent years ago , and has history bursting at the seams. Go and have an experience of your life. Definitely a 5 star hotel ,even more if there was a higher marking. Well done The Address and thank you very much for looking after us.

    We stayed for a friend's wedding in February. The food was desperate, lots of guests complaining how tough the beef was. Potatoes were vacuum packed potatoes and veg was brought in to hotel already prepared. The Gravy was bizarre. Dessert was not great either. Our bedroom was so hot and stuffy with no option for air conditioning. Only 1 lamp in our bedroom worked. Both main lights and other lamp did not work. Shower head was really green from water.

  • 1/5 Amy B. 2 years ago on Google
    Worst hotel I have stayed in, first room had mouldy and obvious damp walls, the smell of mould is everywhere around the building. When moved rooms due to this issue, it was a bit of an improvement but not much of one. The room was quite dirty with stains on the furniture and a dirty floor. How this is a 4 star hotel I don't know, its shocking to charge over €100 p/n for this type of service, would not recommend!

  • 4/5 Terri O. 2 years ago on Google
    Very helpful Friendly staff. Lovely rooms and food. One gripe- If have asked for a room with a view then hand back the key to room 306 before trapsing up two lifts down all corridors and double doors to have to ring and change rooms. 2nd room perfect .

  • 2/5 bulld1000 2 years ago on Google
    The hotel on first impressions was nice . Its an old building but pretty modern reception and bar, the room was quite dated , no air-conditioning, we ate there one night and that's where things went downhill. Food was poor by any standards. The staff were really nice especially Jack the waiter. Super guy and good fun. Unfortunatly I wouldn't be staying again.

  • 5/5 Jim O. 1 year ago on Google
    This was our first visit to the Address Cork,we had the taste of address package,which includes a three course meal, signature cocktail , breakfast the next morning and a €20 voucher for your next visit the room we had was a superior double room it was spacious and there was a balcony a coffee machine in the room I would highly recommend this hotel the staff were all friendly and the hotel was clean and well decorated we will definitely be back again

  • 3/5 Kenneth E. 1 year ago on Google
    Big spacious room with a nice balcony. I applaud the effort they put into renovating the bathroom but there was no toilet paper holder, the panel in front of the tub was not secured and was pushed back exposing the edge of the tile and no powered bathroom fan so it steamed up while taking a shower. There were stains on the carpet and the dessert they left for us on arrival had mold on it. First nights dinner my sister's ribs were way over cooked and to dry to eat. The hotel is at the top of a steep hill which gives you a great view but a tough walk to and from the city center.

  • 2/5 Madeline B. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff, in particular Dean, so helpful, efficient, cheerful, professional. On arrival we had to request a change of Room (first room we were allocated was an absolute disaster! Getting to it involved two separate lifts, various corridors, to end up in a shabby, stained, dirty room) Second room was also shabby, but a lot more comfortable and on 2nd floor so accessible.

  • 2/5 rose h. 1 year ago on Google
    Left a lot to be desired. Lovely staff, food not great, was more shocked when I discovered it was a 4star hotel. It was so much nicer under previous management. They destroyed the ambulance of the ground floor.

  • 3/5 Chris x. 1 year ago on Google
    Room was clean and the bed comfortable as you'd expect it to be for €215 for one night with no breakfast... Unfortunately for a hotel of this standard you'd expect to be able to order room service of some description ie, sandwich... after 10.30 pm but not the case, simply told the kitchen is closed. Otherwise it's okay I guess

  • 5/5 Jordan W. 1 year ago on Google
    Really enjoyed our stay here. We got an upgrade to a corner room, which was more like an apartment with a living room and bedroom. The breakfast was also some of the nicest I’ve had to experience in a hotel. The hill is a bit of a pain, but the hotel itself is great.

  • 3/5 Tara K. 1 year ago on Google
    Honest review Hotel was lovely and full of character and staff was very friendly and helpful. Lets downs... Double bedroom booked - the bed was so hard and uncomfortable, two single beds pushed together and you could feel it through the coverings. Although the pastries & fruits for breakfast was delicious the hot breakfast (standard fry) was horrible. Food was undercooked and soaked in oils on the plate. Just couldn't eat it

  • 1/5 Tadhg O Mahony (. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was not good. Waited over one hour for food, when it arrived it was cold with under cooked veg. Overpriced also. Waiting staff were very nice but kitchen staff very rude when asked to heat a hot chocolate brownie which was served cold! . Will not dine here again. Also no Christmas atmosphere, measly decorations, none on tables. Could do a lot better. Also no toilet paper in toilets, when reception were informed they said use another one! Come on guys, this is supposed to be 4 star!!

  • 5/5 L and D O C. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a fantastic room with a balcony overlooking the city. Very clean, & a decent size. The package included cocktails on arrival and 2 course meal. 10 minute walk into town. Dinner was fabulous. Overall it was an excellent experience. We will go again.

  • 5/5 Ciara O R. 1 year ago on Google
    Got married here in December 22. Organised from Australia and the team couldn't have been more helpful. The wedding packages gave a range of prices and meal options which I appreciated. Affordable options. Had menu tasting and portions were generous, food was tasty. Gave feedback about having veg softer on day of wedding and Katie the food and beverage manager came to us after the wedding meal to check the veg was ok. She is a credit to herself and to the hotel, great communication from start to finish, attention to detail second to none, made us feel like the only couple getting married in the world. Wedding day flowed so well with no issues. Dinner service was fast with no waiting around and everyone on the same course at the same time, which isn't always a given at weddings. Bridal suite is stunning, room service was great, fast and tasty brekkie. Christmas decorations were gorgeous and made for stunning photos. Would highly recommend to any couples looking at wedding venues.

    I'm only reviewing restaurant - I took my husband for Valentine's celebration. For a 4 star hotel the quality of food was poor. I asked for orange juice and got Ribena. My husband had seafood chowder for starter - he said it was good but too salty. For main his slow cooked rib was good but mine chicken burger was disaster. Cornflake coati g was hard as rock, fries were undercooked. Usually, I do not complain publicly or to restaurant staff but this was reall bad. There is Montenote hotel nearby, which is also 4 stars, and it is like comparing day and night - so much better - quality, executiin and overall feel.
