What guests think

At The Address Cork, travelers consistently praise the friendly staff, historic hilltop setting with sweeping views, and generally spacious, comfortable rooms, while noting recurring downsides like steep walks, inconsistent breakfast quality, and periodic water, heating, or temperature control issues.

Many enjoy dinners and the cozy bar, though service can be slow or disorganized at busy times. On-site parking and a small gym or health club help, but elevator constraints and event activity sometimes affect convenience. Some rooms have balconies, while Wi‑Fi performance varies. A good fit if you want character and comfort and can tolerate some quirks.

We loved this hotel. The grounds were beautiful, it smelled great, had beautiful flower arrangements in the front entrance and beautiful designs within the hotel. The health club was great and has a sauna. One room was great and the other room had a BM in the toilet and had cobwebs and writing on the bed.

We had reservations for two single beds but got a family room. As we did not want to sleep in the same bad, one of us had a bad without a bedside table and light. Otherwise the room looked nice. The shower leaked water, but upon reporting this the staff did not seem interested in addressing this. Access to the parking space was difficult because of the long and narrow driveway. Furthermore, there was not enough space in the park space, which left us parking on the street on one night. However, all of these were minor details compared to the noise: The hotel has large rooms it rents out for various festivities but it does not have noise protection. So, when we tried to sleep because we had to rise early, we were kept awake by a DJ as well as staff and guests in the hallways (which only made everything louder) and people having verbal fights on the parking ground. Our neighbors in the room next door were also having an argument about whether or not to complain - so thin walls. When contacting the staff about this, they offered me to contact their manager at 11 pm to ask about switching rooms. The hotel should decide if it wants to have guests staying the night or be a party location. When we left two days later, they did not even remember said incident. A shame because it could be a nice hotel and some of the girls working in the breakfast room were extremely nice.

Very nice clean hotel with generous sized rooms. Great patio and bar area. Well equipped gym/health club. Good location close to restaurants, pubs and downtown attractions. Would have given a five star rating, were it not for a few disappointments: the hotel allowed guests of a private event to smoke in a signed non smoking area at the front entrance, resulting in strong smoke smell in the common areas; and we purchased breakfast on our final morning and despite arriving in the dining room by 8 am, we found the buffet had run out of many items (incl. fruit, yogurt, most breads etc). When we asked, they confirmed that there was no more in the kitchen so these could not be replenished. Given that they required breakfasts to be reserved in advance, one would expect that they’d have a much better handle on required quantities. When we mentioned our disappointment at checkout the front desk rep was apologetic, but there was no offer of even a partial refund.

Checking in was a bit comical because our room was on the 3rd floor but the lift only goes to the 2nd floor. This is a charming space in the city in a quiet neighborhood but only a quick walk to town and nearby pubs. The staff is exemplary and Samuel makes a fantastic iced Americano.

The address cork was easy to find, grand hotel on the outside and cute lobby/ restaurant. The rooms were quite large but the beds were not comfy and you couldn’t adjust the temperature in the room. There was a couch in one room with white stains all over it. Parking on property is limited. The bathroom in the lobby was also wildly heated- felt like a sauna. Receptionist was nice, easy check in/ check out

Should give more information about how high up on a hill it is. While it does have a nice view of the city I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone who has problems walking. I didn’t want cleaning the first days but that resulted in the staff totally overlooking my room the days I did request cleaning. When they were cleaning it was not done properly. Not impressed. Also, I needed help with the luggage from third floor, where my room was, as the elevator only goes to second floor. No one showed up so I had to do it myself, which isn’t good when you have problems with your shoulder.

When checking in, the front desk lady was wonderful, very helpful with our questions. Unfortunately, the hotel smelt very strongly of a strange type of perfume or something, and no matter where we went in the hotel we found it hard to get away from. Our room was a bit run down, and not very clean. We did have a good meal at the restaurant, and found the restaurant to be quite fair priced.

The beds were so comfortable and the shower was great. A beautiful hotel in a quiet neighborhood. Although on Saturday night we could hear the music from the restaurant down the hill when our windows were open. The hotel does not have air conditioning so we had to keep the windows open to keep the room cool. Fortunately we had a sound machine to drown out the music. The breakfast buffet and pizza from the restaurant were tasty but we didn’t care for the other menu selections. Also, the location of the hotel is at the top of a hill and quite the climb from the city if you are walking.

The room had two irons and ironing boards, which was a bit strange. No bar fridge to keep your drinks cold. No aircon and we had to open the windows for a bit of fresh air. The bed was not comfortable and rather small. The water pressure in the shower was below standard and although the water pressure was mediocre, to say the least, the shower was clogged and water drained slowly. We had to prop up the tv to be able to view it properly while lying down on the bed to relax. I would rather stay somewhere else when I come to visit Cork again.

Beautiful property, very well maintained. Unfortunately, they choose event guests over overnight guests. Couldn’t eat or drink in the restaurant at various times, poor service because they were busy setting up for an event, well, one server was, three other staff watched him. They reset the event venue in the middle of the night, slamming doors every few minutes. I could go on. They wanted to charge us 25 Euros for a one hour late check out. We had to point out they had neglected to service our room that day before they backed down on the charge. Lots of little reasons to find other accommodation.

At breakfast, options for food were very low and very limited with lots of items running out and not being replenished, even when asked if there was more available.

Upon miscalculating the distance and steep nature of the climb to your beatuful hotel , I arrived at the front desk sweating profusely and mt wife was udergoibg a minor asthmatic attach. Michelle , the lively receptionist, was alarmed and very concerned for my wife . She immediately provided water and assistance. She was great . After shortly recovering we checked in to our lovely room with a balcony and beautiful view...See now why the walk was so steep.(no problem walking down nor back a couple of times with, of course, no luggage later on). The restaurant was well appointed and the food and service were fantastic. Our local waiter (sorry to have forgotten his name) , who has worked there for 8 years made our breakfast and dining experience delightful... Breakfast was great and bountiful . The ribs were as good as southern USA good! Loved our stay at this old classic hotel upon a hillside. A final thanks to Michelle. She constantly asked about our stay and provided great sight seeing advice. Always with a smile. . Hope someday to return to your lovely town and hotel. Next time we will take a taxi (it was very inexpensive ) upon our arrival.

The staff here was less than courteous. Our room was very warm, hotel does not have any form of air con. When I spoke with the staff about it they laughed and stated to just open the window. I informed them the window had been open for hours but little breeze was able to cool the room. The staff then offered me a very small fan for a deposit of 20€. Each interaction with the front desk staff that worked the evening was far from pleasant to deal with. The restaurant at the hotel has moderate food but for much higher costs than surrounding eateries and pubs. Would not recommend staying here again.

Scenic hilltop setting with wide views; walkable to the train and city, but the steep climb can be challenging. The neighborhood is generally quiet, and proximity to the station and downtown is convenient if you can manage the incline.

One of the reasonsWe booked this hotel was due to its proximity to the railway station . It is near but up a very steep hill. However the hotel is lovely with a large sitting patio area at the front with a great view over Cork. Our room was lovely large and quiet with a very comfortable bed.Again it had a lovely view out over cork.Bathroom is also large with a really powerful shower over the bath.

This is a lovely property, but when you look very closely, you see that it is a bit dated and could use a little renovating. The parking is convenient, and it's close to the center of town. However the walk is up a very steep hill, so I wouldn't say it's walkable. The front desk staff was available and helpful, though a bit non-committal when asked to recommend restaurants and bars outside of the hotel.

Food selection was non existent, took the staff forever to refill the buffet and staff looked like they wanted to be somewhere else, definitely not friendly. Would not do that breakfast inclusion again.
