I stayed here Friday night. I couldn't find the car park and drove past it twice, having to ring reception three times to figure out where I was going. I spoke to the 2 women on reception (Antonia and Francesca I believe) who were unbelievably helpful and friendly including when I finally arrived. My room was beautiful, and so comfortable and I was honestly surprised at how central the hotel is. We were so close to loads of bars and restaurants. The courtyard bar is amazing and has a waterfall at the end just adding to the ambience. The breakfast the next morning was great and I have to say every single member of staff we came across was so friendly and helpful. I have to add that I spoke to the night porter (Frank) when I came in because my partner stayed out later so I needed an extra key. I went to bed and about an hour and a half later there was a knock on my door and it was the night porter with my partner. I apologised and said I thought I had given him a key and he must have lost it but Frank told me that he wanted to ensure that I knew the man before he let him up to my room. I was honestly so surprised and grateful that a hotel would care that much for my personal safety. I've stayed in many hotels but never had this happen so I have to applaud him. I don't think I'll be staying anywhere else when I come to Cork in future.

Just back from a wonderful night in The Rebel County Cork. We stayed in the beautiful Hotel Isaacs. Immediately impressed on check-in by the fantastic customer service of their receptionist Francesca. She was warm, friendly and extremely helpful 🌟The hotel has an easy going sophistication about it, stylish decor and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Our room was gorgeous... crisp, clean, full of light and had an extra large bed to die for! We had cocktails in the stunning Cask bar and breakfast in the beautiful Greene's restaurant overlooking their courtyard waterfall. Hotel Isaacs is a fabulous hotel in an excellent location in Cork City center. Their staff make it exceptional ❤️

Rooms were dated. Could use and update. Washroom was clean but dated feeling. Tv in the room didn't work. Room was decent size. Staff were all friendly. It's slightly outside of the core area but still very walkable distance. Its close to both city center and the train station which is nice.

Hotel Isaacs is a wonderful old hotel in the middle of a busy shopping/dining/bar area. Our room was nicely appointed, although it was VERY hot. There was a Dyson fan already in the room since it was unusually hot weather for Ireland. Parking is just around the corner in a gated church parking lot. There is space in front of the hotel to park for a couple of minutes and drop off bags, although the street is VERY busy with both traffic and construction. The area is very walkable, being only a 10-minute walk from the English Market (and loads of restaurants and shops in between, too). Breakfast was lovely, with big windows looking out onto a BRILLIANT waterfall in the outside courtyard. All staff that we encountered were incredibly kind and helpful. Wished we could have stayed another day!

I had a wonderful bank holiday stay here with my partner. We didn't have the food but we had a fabulous room and because it is so central we decided to explore the city for meals. The staff were very informative and helpful. They let us know a lot of places don't open on Monday or Tuesday and suggested some places for us. The staff was very accommodating and let us leave our bags there when needed. It's a beautiful location with the cool bars/restaurants along with a gorgeous waterfall in the back. Both my partner and I were very happy with the whole experience at this hotel. I would definitely recommend it.

Had a beautiful stay at Isaacs for a midweek break , was greeted by friendly polite staff who gave me some great food recommendations and a little city map to show me around .Lucky enough to be surprised with a room upgrade on check in! The room itself was really lovely and neat with a huge big bathroom with a bath, shower and heated tiles .. overlooking their lovely courtyard and waterfall.All in all It was fab ..all the staff where friendly attentive and laid back which made for a really relaxing atmosphere.The cocktail bar below is gorgeous, really interesting and fun decor and menu ..could easily sit all night trying the seasonal concoctions and chatting to the staff ..I can't wait to come back !:)

Beautifully decorated rooms. Nice finishing touches like Rituals toiletries. Very friendly reception staff. Central location with parking off a close street. Cobblestone paving into entrance. Breakfast fantastic, buffet and table service up to 10.30. Has beautiful outdoor dining area by waterfall in addition to internal dining. Would definitely stay there again.

Absolutely wonderful hotel. Our room was stunning with wood beams, air conditioning, a true king size bed, and a large shower. We had a view of the waterfall outside our window and all doors/elevators were key operated so we felt safe. Staff was extremely helpful upon check in and warned us about hearing music from the restaurant in our room and shared a number we could call if it was too loud. We had no issues with the music, never got too loud and actually we opened the windows and enjoyed it. We also emailed about parking and was provided free secured parking close by. Will definitely stay here again.

Great location and very friendly helpful staff. We stayed in several different rooms because it was hard to get bookings during a busy time. Rooms varied from large with great A/C to smaller with no A/C. All were comfortable. By the time we got to Cork I was ready for a cocktail rather than a pint. Cask, the hotel bar and small plate restaurant was terrific. Dan, the bartender will make you the perfect drink

Not the usual high standard. Restaurant was closed for annual holiday. The hotel bar was closed, even before 8pm. Breakfast could only be served in the hotel room, as the dining room was being renovated. The breakfast was not very appetizing and I avoided the pale sausages. The regular chef must have been on holiday too! The toast was soggy as it had been wrapped in clingfilm. For Covid safety, I guess. But, the mini jam jar had already been opened, so it must have been reused from someone else's tray. All in all, not good. I generally love staying in this hotel, but I would not recommend it at the moment.

We really enjoyed our stay at Isaacs. The location was perfect, made even better by having Cask right next door. The rooms were a great size and the bed super comfy. Lovely staff who were very helpful We will return and recommend to others thank you

We’ve stayed many times in Isaacs and enjoyed it. However, although our room looked great and was obviously recently renovated, there were 2 windows that had no curtains or blinds on them so we were woken early with the light. The room was a superior one but I wouldn’t book it again. The lady on reception when we checked in seemed new and gave us incorrect info re the Covid hours/restrictions but all of the other staff were v good and friendly as always.

Our room felt a little small for the price paid but was comfortable enough. Service in all areas was spot on and we had lovely help from one of your staff, Ivan, who interrupted to help advise us about a walk we were planning from the hotel to a local castle. One concern was the noise heard from the bottles being despatched early in the morning, around 4 am, with little effort to quieten the process.

I have to say this was the worst hotel we stayed in of our three weeks abroad. The hotel itself is beautiful and it's located in a great spot. Close to most things in Cork. The room itself was fine, simple and clean. We arrived on a Saturday, our room was right above their Cask Bar. Needless to say, we did not sleep. The noise was atrocious until 1am. Once we finally fell a sleep, the smoke alarms all went off multiple times. Sunday night was better but still noisy until after 11pm. I recommend if you stay here you ask for a room not on their courtyard. Also, do not waste your money on their breakfast. Terrible. It should be included with the room. Save your 20 euros and spend them at Tara's Tea House a 1/2 block away. Her food is incredible!

We had an amazing superior room with a great size bed and excellent bathroom with a huge shower. We had cocktails in the bar adjacent and was serviced my a lovely guy showing us how he makes them. Unfortunately for some reason the room was not serviced so we had to ask reception for additional compliments and they struggled to find any but did in the end. The bar in the hotel was also not available and because ti was valentines night the caste bar was very full. Overall and excellent stay but need more experienced staff on reception. Will definitely be back

Very nice Hotel, that really deserves more than its 3 Stars. Had a 2 Night stay, nice rooms, nice breakfast and totally in the Center of the City. All in all great Hotel, beds good be a bit bigger.

We stayed at Isaacs after landing in Dublin after a 7 hour flight and then driving to Cork. We were definitely exhausted from the time change but the room was so incredibly comfortable and the staff were so friendly. We were able to walk to a local restaurant for dinner and then retire to our room for a great night of sleep. The property felt very safe and secure, was quiet, and very walkable. The parking setup was a huge plus that we didn't have to worry about street parking.

Very nice hotel staff. Large room with 3 comfortable beds for 3 guests. Clean, mirrors for make up and dressing. Laundromat across street, lovely tea room same street along with restaurants, pubs. Air conditioning and quiet room. Had 2 very restful nights here. Breakfast was fabulous and great service!

We had an exceptional stay at Hotel Isaacs Cork. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly; they made us feel so welcome. The rooms were clean and very comfortable, the restaurant, Greene’s, was absolutely superb and the hotel’s location was within walking distance of shopping, eating, sight-seeing and the train station. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Thanks to all the Hotel Isaacs team who made our stay so enjoyable.

In general we enjoyed our two nights at Isaac's Hotel. Our only complaint would be the little ventilation in the bedroom, even with the ventllator provided. We opened one window in the evening to try to cool down the room, as during the day the air was warm. All other aspects, in particular the ladies at reception were always very attentive and helpful.

The staff was welcoming and very helpful. We had a minor concern with our room. They immediately moved us to new room without hesitating. The hotel location was ideal for us. We definitely recommend staying here.

Great spot for exploring the city. In the room you can here people upstairs above you walking but mostly it was very quiet. I would definitely recommend the hotel. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was excellent

We had a spacious double room. Well equipped on the first floor. Spacious bathroom too. Front desk staff always friendly. Good location within easy walking distance from both rail and bus stations. And easy walking into the city centre. Good bar with food, and good restaurants, with separate breakfast restaurant. Restricted car parking and very limited street parking.

An amazing hotel, located really centrally in Cork. The rooms were very bare, but comfortable. The toilets were lovely with amazing water pressure. Staff were kind and welcoming, and were able to assist us when we needed. Included breakfast was delicous, and once again lovely staff! Would stay again,

Nicely updated hotel in a central location. Our room was a generous size with a comfortable bed and good bathroom amenities. An easy walk to the River Lee and good shopping across the way. We ate at Cask next door one night, great service, fun atmosphere and excellent food and drinks. Breakfast was generous and delicious. We had dinner at Greene's one night, and while the food was good, the service was a bit spotty, a disappointment for the price of the meal. Overall, we'd make this our choice when we return to Cork.

It was OK, but be aware its very noisy on the weekend, all just average, nothing special, but it worked OK... I appreciate Clements response but noise levels from neighbours rooms also not great and this after the festival. Also entrance is through a non smoking bar area which was full of smokers. I suggest you carefully read my full review and not just the isolated first night being the last night of the festival, which there were no up front warnings for on the booking.

We had a wonderful stay. The hotel staff were polite, efficient and friendly. They made us feel very welcome. The rooms were comfortable and the parking was great. The hotel is in a great location. Would highly recommend. Thank you.

This was our “let’s treat ourselves” stay during our travel through Ireland. It was exactly what was needed after our drive from Dublin. Great location. Wonderful beds and staff was beyond helpful. We were unable to visit any of the attached restaurants but had so much around the area that we were able to enjoy.

We just loved this place. We arrived a little early, but our room was ready and the reception was awesome and told us we could go to the room. We had just flown in from Liverpool and was a bit weary. The room was so comfy and close to everything. I would defiantly go back and stay!!!

The women at the front desk were extremely helpful during check in. They offered dinner and breakfast suggestions as well as detailed directions to the car park. When checking out, the attendant noticed a mistake on my bill and quickly corrected it. The rooms were spacious and clean. I will definitely stay here next time I’m in Cork.

We've been to this hotel twice now, and they're simply the best hotel you can find in Cork for the price. Their rooms are absolutely comfortable and even the television has The Comforts of Home with access to YouTube and Netflix. If you are lucky to get the suites, you will never leave the tub. The showers are amazing with perfect water pressure. The beds are like sleeping on on a candy floss dream. The front desk reception personnel are by far the friendliest, and most knowledgeable people in the business. I will write another review when I visit there again in April. Don't take my room.

Breakfast was no buffet, but ordered food was good. Area is great for going out and everything needed is very close. Heating pipe made loud noises in the night, had a 3 bedroom under the roof. Loudness of this drove us crazy even with the heater off. Staff was friendly and everything was clean.

Issac's and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Stay. This was one of the most disappointing hotel experiences ever but I'll start with a disclaimer: the location is great and the vast majority of the staff here are so nice - helpful, friendly and attentive. They made the stay bearable. The shower is also decent. Now on to the ugly: The bed was the worst I've ever tried to sleep in. I vaguely recall a bunk bed from Summer Camp that might have been on par but I was twelve at the time and sleeping better in general. We stayed in a 'cozy double' which means tiny and cramped. There was a makeup mark on one of the hand towels and a hair in one of the mugs in the room on arrival. The radiator click click clicked and something in the bathroom drip drip dripped ALL night. One of the morning reception staff looked like she was being forced to work there against her will and exhaled audibly before answering even the most routine questions. At breakfast, they ran out of both bread and croissants and served rock-hard scones as a replacement, which were definitely more than a day old. We risked dental injury eating them. Their juice is of the synthetic, long-life variety. There is a €2.50 surcharge on cappuccino/latte at breakfast and the alternative is bad. The gave us little Bonne Maman jam jars which had been refilled with cheap marmalade (I'm pretty sure this is illegal). There's no bottled water in the rooms. If you request it, it is charged at a whopping €5.75 a bottle (!) One of the kind staff advised us to go the bar and ask for a jug of tap water instead. We reserved a table at 9am for breakfast for our group of 6 and they asked if we could come down in two sittings instead - 2 at 8.30am and 4 at 9am. We obliged, only to come down to an empty breakfast room. The heating system has two settings - boiling hot or ice cold. Their parking system is complex and doesn't work half the time. The parking is a short walk from the hotel and they provide two separate phone numbers to call to open the gates, advising "if one doesn't work, try the other". The numbers don't work unless you call from the phone you booked the space with, and sometimes they don't work then either. Since there's no third number to "try", you may just have to wait for someone to activate the sensor from the other side. I wouldn't stay here again if I was paid for it.

We had an amazing few days. The hotel is in a great location. Having the natural waterfall and pool in the courtyard just makes it look so classy. Staff very friendly, helpful and professional. We also heard from one of the housekeepers that this establishment treats their workers really well! Amazing upmarket food in Greenes restaurant!

At a first glance the room looked modern and nice - however it was a super noisy room, because it was directly above their backyard where they would throw out the trash the whole night. You would hear it through closed windows! The other problem was that the air-condition was managed centrally and kept me from a peaceful sleep. When I asked at the reception to turn it off for our room the staff said they would take care of it, however the air-conditioning was still on and kept me for another night from sleeping. The only thing that was really good was the nice breakfast and the friendly breakfast staff.

Beautiful hotel, gorgeous entry way, friendly staff, hidden away gem on a street of cafes and bars. The room was spacious and bright. Only wished for more tea bags and milk, But over all it was gorgeous.

This is a hotel for those who value location and a good bar above other attributes. The staff are predominantly very pleasant. The rooms are of a poor standard (my opinion) and need a deep clean. My room unfortunately had a strong and lingering fragrance. The noise from the bar area ensures no sleep possible until at earliest midnight (weekends). The rooms are also poorly soundproofed so I was woken at dawn by my neighbours phone conversation. I have dined in the restaurant many many times but feel standard of food has dropped. All in all good place if you’re on a boozy night out. Otherwise consider somewhere else. I appreciate the response from manager and can confirm that I am not confused and the review is for your hotel. I would suggest you stay in the room allocated to me one weekend night to experience the noise and obvious lack of hygiene leading to the odour in the room.

Very pretty building and nice to place to stay in the city center of Cork. We dined at the Greenes Restaurant which seems to be affiliated with the hotel. We had dinner as well as breakfast at the restaurant and both were fantastic. When scheduling a room, breakfast was included and definitely delicious. Room was decent sized and would likely stay there again. There was a lot of construction occurring in front/nearby the hotel just to bear in mind. No parking on site but parking nearby and you will need to reserve prior to going. Additionally will need an international phone to be able to access parking

We spent one night in Isaac Hotel. The room was clean, very comfortable, spacious and quiet. We had a great night’s sleep and breakfast was excellent. Staff members were very pleasant and helpful. The location is handy for Patrick Street and all the facilities it has to offer. It is only ten minutes walk from the railway station. I would have no hesitation about staying in the Isaac Hotel again or about recommending it to others.

Fantastic stay. From the time we entered Isaacs we were made feel so welcome. The rooms were fabulous, such a nice vibe all over the hotel. Breakfast was very good and lots to choose from and the waiter was on top form cracking jokes. Management know exactly what they are doing and this is reflected in the staff who all seem very happy in their role. We had cocktails in the cask beside the hotel also highly recommend a visit here. We will definitely go back and be recommending Isaacs to friends and family who are visiting Cork. Car park also only 3 minute walk from the hotel.

Had an awesome stay here with my family in their service apartment.... Ambience is so warm and cozy.. And what to say about the staffs.. They are extremely cheerful and ready to help any time... Loved the rooms.. Very neat and clean.. Overall my experience was so good.. Highly recommended.. Wish you all the best guys..

Have to say that when we return to Cork, this hotel will be our go to place to stay once again. Huge room. Huge bed. Brilliantly decorated. Ideal location and within walking distance to the main thoroughfare in cork be it shopping or to go out eating. Didn't experience the hotel bar or restaurant as the menu wasn't our cup of tea BUT given how busy both places were at night - it seems that others love it. Hope to return soon!

Lovely hotel, lovely staff, lovely food, great position in the city and very clean. Car parking was very straightforward once you got the hang of the gate numbers. Our room was very hot and had an air blade in it to try and cool it down but that just seemed to circulate the air, so we opened the windows all night. Beware MacCurtain street is very busy, even in the wee small hours deliveries were being made along the street. We just took this in our stride as it gives you an insight in to how the city operates and the work that goes in to keep it ticking over. The bed was super comfy, so we still slept well despite the heat and early deliveries/bin men. All in all, we loved our stay at the hotel and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

We had a lovely stay. The hotel is in a great location. If you visit during a warm period, the A/C unit may have issues. Our unit thought it was 23c, but that never changed. Setting it to 22c seemed to keep it from dripping.

Room was tiny. Not expecting a single bed! It’s located above noisy bars, and there was thumping base from music until gone midnight. Breakfast was good and had gluten free options. But overall I’d not stay here again as it’s not worth the money and is far inferior to other locations across Ireland.
