At Clayton Hotel Silver Springs, guests consistently praise the friendly, helpful staff, while feedback is mixed on dated rooms and temperature control (no air conditioning) and on a suburban location away from central Cork with easier road access than walkability.
Several reviews note off site leisure facilities with extra fees, early closing or booking requirements, and parking that ranges from ample to tight or inconvenient. Cleanliness and maintenance are inconsistent, with reports of stained carpets, dated bathrooms, and occasional water or shower problems, alongside many mentions of clean rooms. Breakfast and restaurant experiences vary widely, and service in bars or dining can be slow. Overall, this is a practical base with notable pros and cons.

When I arrived to the property, the staff was incredibly friendly (especially the employee who checked us in). My annoyance is this. I called ahead to discuss if the hotel had laundry service, a hot tub and a gym (the laundry service was a must). I confirmed my dates, and was reassured (with confidence) this wouldn't be an issue. When I arrived I was immediately informed that laundry service is not available on the weekends, and the gym/hot tub are not owned by the hotel and will have additional fees.

The staff were absolutely wonderful, food was lovely and the complimentary cocktail for New Year's was a nice touch. The family meal deal was very good value and the ambience in the restaurant was perfect. The only issues we had were that our room was cold for mot of the evening, I called down twice and was informed that the heating would be on in a few hours but I was quite cold all evening. We were also very disappointed to find out that the swimming pool was closed, and that it would also cost an extra €15 to use when it is open. I think it would have been helpful to families to be notified when booking of the pool is closed. Apart from that we had a lovely stay, and once again all the staff we met were fantastic

Clayton Hotel Cork – A Mixed Experience Our stay at the Clayton Hotel in Cork was a mixed bag, with some positives but quite a few disappointments. Pros: • Room Upgrade: We originally booked a family deluxe room through Expedia, but as our booking showed a family suite, the hotel upgraded us at no extra cost. A nice touch! • Online Check-in & Check-out: The process was smooth and efficient, making arrival and departure hassle-free. Cons: • Uncomfortable Atmosphere from Housekeeping: After our upgrade, we had to move rooms, and as we did, six cleaners gave us disapproving looks. It was an awkward experience, almost as if they were annoyed about having to revisit the room. • Tired and Run-down: The hotel has definitely seen better days. The room felt old, with visible screws everywhere holding things together. • Limited Lift Access: There’s only a single lift, and it barely fits five people, which makes getting around frustrating. • Poor Dining Reputation: The restaurant had so many bad reviews that we didn’t even bother trying it. • Inconvenient Parking: Parking is scattered across three different locations, all accessible via stairs, which isn’t ideal. The driveway is also in poor condition. • Misleading Leisure Centre: While the hotel advertises a swimming and leisure centre, it’s actually at a separate location up a steep hill. You’ll need to drive there, pay an additional fee, and bring your own towels—something the receptionist conveniently forgot to mention.

Dear Clayton Hotel Team, I hope you are well. I am writing to share some brief feedback from our recent stay at Clayton Hotel Silver Springs, which I hope will be helpful for service improvement. We were not informed at check-in that the swimming pool required advance booking or that it closed at 6:00 pm. When we arrived at we were told it closed at 7:00 pm, resulting in us being unable to use the pool and having to return the following day on a day pass. The facilities were described as a five-minute walk, but it was not mentioned that the route involves a fairly steep uphill walk. On a positive note, the staff member in the gym explained everything clearly, which we appreciated. However, during our stay we also experienced delays in receiving toilet tissue when requested, bedding not being properly made on day two, and some disappointment with breakfast — while the selection was good, the hot breakfast quality was poor and the juices appeared heavily diluted. I wanted to share this feedback constructively, as clearer communication and some service improvements would greatly enhance the guest experience. I’ve stayed in other hotels in Cork where service levels we experienced were a step up from this. Thanks and regards, Kishon

Restaurant service was terrible. Food nice but small portions for the price. Advertised as having a pool and leisure centre but you actually had to pay extra to use that. Price of added breakfast was extortionate for what you got. Reception staff very nice but overall for the price of the room we were very disappointed.

On Expedia the property is listed as having a swimming pool and gym. Turns out it's not part of the hotel and you have to pay extra to use the facilities. This wasn't communicated anywhere on Expedia.

This hotel is desperately showing signs of age. Everything is worn or dirty. Elevators are out of order, huge stains on carpets, filthy floors and general dirt. Whoever owns this is either running out of money or a shameless business owner who has run it into the ground.

The hotel is in urgent need of a thorough renovation, with an old elevator and fitted carpets in the rooms and corridors that don't smell very pleasant. The location is right on the highway, far from the city center. The bathroom was cramped, with a rusty shower curtain rail, and it was difficult to adjust the hot and cold water in the shower. The daily room rate was €190 without breakfast. Cleaning of the room was inadequate, they did not even clean the toilet bin during our 3 night stay! Overprised and dated!

The property looked very clean and fancy in the lobby, and restaurants but our room was dirty, and dingy. The carpets were stained, bathroom fixtures rusted and/or broken. Holes in bathroom towels, dirty toilets, stained pillows. It also presented itself to be close to downtown and city activities which was not the case. It was in an industrial area on the outskirts of the city. Would not recommend this to anybody!

Stay was ok. Carpet was heavily stained in parts. I asked for a room with a view but i got a room at back of hotel with no view. I asked for a mini fridge for medical supplies and got it but it was filthy. We were afraid to put our snacks in it. Curtains are long and block the heat coming from radiator, room was cold. I had to roll up the curtains to let out the heat.

Moldy bathroom, broken bathroom door that wouldn’t close and a room had a bright light shining outside the window at all hours. 4th floor room had no A/C, which might have been fine if the windows could have been left open for a breeze, but the bright light left it so you had to choose between the light and the heat and humidity. Breakfast was expensive and not impressive. Only thing staff said to make it right was we could have our next stay free, but I would not stay here again.

The Expedia website shows laundry facilities so I chose the hotel. There was no laundry facility! I had to do my laundry standing in a gas station parking lot (that was the nearest laundry place). No air conditioning so our room was boiling hot and faced the rising sun so it baked all day. The windows hardly opened to let in cool air. We. Had to sleep with curtains and windows open just to have any air. It never cooled the room even with two fans provided. Also, we checked in at 6 and was told there was a tour coming and the restaurant will close to us at 8pm which meant we could not eat on site due to needing to go off site to do laundry. All around a horrible experience.

Rooms are a bit tight, especially for 3 adults, although they have a proper double bed and a single. Gets rather warm in the room and with no AC it was a bit stuffy. The hotel is a fair distance from the city as well, so not the best for a holiday stay.

We stayed one night in a family suite. The room was lovely and spacious with an absolutely ginormous bathroom. The beds were very comfortable and we appreciated the extra seating area. A couple small items - we were there when it was quite hot, and although the room was equipped with an AC unit that blew air, it never actually cooled off. To be fair, I didn't figure this out until the middle of the night, so I didn't report it til checkout. If you're not from Ireland, fair warning that hotels don't seem to provide conditioner. However, overall a nice stay and an easy drive into city center as well as highway access.

First off check in was at 3. We arrived at 1 and they had a room ready. Went to room and keycards wouldnt work. Back to reception to change them and the second lot didnt work at first either. But eventually got into our room. Room was fine and clean. After arriving back from our night out we ordered room service and paid €35 for the food not to come. Next morning went to reception and the girl was very apologetic and offered us a refund. Went for breakfast after this and it was horrendous. Buffet still so could help yourself. Food was cold and not nice at all. At this stage, we'd had enough and headed back to our room to get our bags and checkout. Safe to say we will not be staying here again.

The rooms were larger than anything we have seen in other parts of Ireland. They also were very clean, and modern. I thought the restaurant served excellent food. It was nice that we could get such a great meal, so conveniently. I also made an error with our booking, and Grace was so incredibly helpful. Despite the long line of people behind us, she remained calm, kind, and took care of our situation in the best way. I was so grateful, especially given it was my mistake. All service was top notch. Reasonable rate for this stay, and I would definitely recommend.

Understaffed hotel - individual staff are friendly but management is very poor Expensive bar prices relative to Cork city Poor service as staff are run off their feet and people left the bar because they were fed up waiting for service Unable to watch rugby on TV at bar because hotel does not have the channels even though half the guests staying there were there for the rugby weekend Impossibly tight and restrictive parking spaces Breakfast was hit and miss as you waited for cups, glasses and food to be delivered / served Unlikely to stay their again

Worst customer service ever. They genuinely don’t care about their clients. The management is not aligned whatsoever and say the absolute opposite things.

Location
Set outside central Cork, the hotel is not very walkable to attractions, but it offers easy road access and is convenient by car, taxi, or bus. Several reviews mention an industrial/docks area nearby.

A bit out of the way, but offered good parking, so if you have a car, its nicely located if you want to get into Cork and the price is more reasonable than other hotels in Cork. However, there is not much to do in the immediate area.

The hotel is in urgent need of a thorough renovation, with an old elevator and fitted carpets in the rooms and corridors that don't smell very pleasant. The location is right on the highway, far from the city center. The bathroom was cramped, with a rusty shower curtain rail, and it was difficult to adjust the hot and cold water in the shower. The daily room rate was €190 without breakfast. Cleaning of the room was inadequate, they did not even clean the toilet bin during our 3 night stay! Overprised and dated!

The front desk staff were helpful and they answered all our questions. The hotel is in a difficult area of the city and not walkable to anything in Cork.

This is a splendidly spacious and modern hotel within an easy drive to city centre. Watch scullers on the River Lee just in front of the hotel! Walking paths are readily accessible. Breakfast options are available (continent or "full"). Dinner options are available and tasty.

Dining
Breakfast and dining are highly variable, ranging from excellent meals to reports of cold or below-standard breakfasts, limited menus, and poor value. Service in the restaurant/bar can be slow, and portions or late-evening hours sometimes disappoint.

Staff very friendly and helpful, breakfast was perfect , the woman (possibly manager) at breakfast and the girl checking us in at breakfast were both so nice , kids dinners were fine , I asked for fresh orange juice for kids and got concentrated carton orange juice . prawn dish was absolutely atrocious, the quality of prawns were so poor, I know it’s not economical to have fresh prawns but these were bad, the oil tasted old and reheated and the prawns were worryingly chewy and very dry (I didn’t eat more than two, the best looking ones I could find ) , it was a very expensive meal for what we got , the barata was nice but the garlic bread was so stale and dripping in grease , it almost seemed deep fried. Again couldn’t eat it .Bad bad bad. The menu prices didn’t match the quality of food at all. The kids were so excited for a treat of jelly and icecream (as on menu ) and when we ordered , the nice waiter was embarrassed to be sent back to tell us there was no jelly, not great to have to tell a 2 and 4 year old after the excitement had built ,and we had also been waiting 10 minutes for it before being told. We also saw other guests in robes and slippers (maybe this didn’t come with our deal ?) . Front of house so friendly . We needed milk for younger child in evening and staff at coffee station happy to help. Overall a good stay but would absolutely not eat a meal in the restaurant again.

First off check in was at 3. We arrived at 1 and they had a room ready. Went to room and keycards wouldnt work. Back to reception to change them and the second lot didnt work at first either. But eventually got into our room. Room was fine and clean. After arriving back from our night out we ordered room service and paid €35 for the food not to come. Next morning went to reception and the girl was very apologetic and offered us a refund. Went for breakfast after this and it was horrendous. Buffet still so could help yourself. Food was cold and not nice at all. At this stage, we'd had enough and headed back to our room to get our bags and checkout. Safe to say we will not be staying here again.

Restaurant service was terrible. Food nice but small portions for the price. Advertised as having a pool and leisure centre but you actually had to pay extra to use that. Price of added breakfast was extortionate for what you got. Reception staff very nice but overall for the price of the room we were very disappointed.

Can't complain really. However the bathroom in the family room 327 needs a major update. I understand that it's accessible and that's fine but the hand dryer is unnecessary and the towel rail meant our towels fell into the toilet so we had to store them pit in the wardrobe. Hotel itself is lovely, staff are fab, nice food. Just a little TLC in the bathrooms would really stand to the place. We will be back!
