It’s a great hotel, clean, well maintained with efficient and personable staff. It’s just a 5 minute walk from the airport which is very convenient. Unfortunately their free airport shuttle was not working on the day we landed and since we were in our 60s and 70s, had 2 bags each and there are many steps up to get to the hotel, we had to take a 3 minute cab ride to the hotel.

Got in after a late flight. The person who checked in was very friendly. Our room was spacious but could use a lot of improvement. The carpet was quite filthy, and the toilet flush sounded the horn of Gondor and went on for 10 minutes until my husband fiddled with it. Half of the outlets didn’t work. In the morning when my husband went to grab the shuttle to the airport, it didn’t show up. Poor communication from front line staff regarding shuttle whereabouts and timing ensued and my he wound up walking to the airport instead after waiting for 30-40 minutes. Just an “ok” place to stay if absolutely needed after a late flight. Also the hairdryer is a “hold down the button the entire time” dryer, if that matters to anyone. I guess just that combined with the other issues are not what I’d expect for a 4-star hotel.

Ideal choice for easy access to airport which is a 400m walk away. We had early flight for business trip so arrived night before parking was 99% full but managed to get a spot. Food in bar was good but a bit expensive.

Hotel is always clean, comfortable and accommodating ! This trip things were slightly off: the room was slightly outdated, lamp shades had cracks / tears and carpet hard several stains, snags, chairs had lint all over, missing hotel directory from room ?, the shower temp was constantly changing too hot, then freezing and back to super hot, the shower had very little pressure and most of the water was flowing into the tub and not through the shower nozzle(had to hold this otherwise not much water) The hotel was extremely busy and this may have been a factor, dated:old rooms were dispatched to patrons. The food was good but not great and that also was disappointing !

Great location for Cork airport. I walked to the terminal. Room was lovely, spacious and clean. TV channel selection kept crashing and I had to restart the tv. The air conditioning controller didn’t heat to a comfortable temperature and I switched it off in the end. Otherwise a great stay.
