Simple but good
The room was simple, but had everything: a double bed, wardrobe, desk, a chair, severla outlets to use, heating and even a mirror on the wall. The condition of the room was excellent, heating works very well, and the reception staff were very helpful and responsive. The appartements come with a kitchen (shared), with plenty of fridge space, tea and coffee and a big table.

Manage your expectations and you'll be fine
The good: - Location (right across the bridge leading to the central area in Cork; short walk to most sites) - Good service (attentive and helpful, gave us a lot of tips on really great activities and sites) - Clean room - Working lift; good for handicapped access (am not handicapped, but have been so I notice these things – however, please don’t take my word for it and call the hotel to verify; I’m not sure what I may have missed). - Price – you probably won’t find anything this central for much cheaper The bad: - No private bathroom in most rooms; bathrooms are shared among many different rooms and have poor ventilation… so they smell really bad. Bathrooms are also okay for limited handicapped access, but only if the person has some mobility and maybe some help. Not sure how accessible the toilet/shower would be. - Rooms are small and spartan - Parking is limited to street parking or a lot that is a 5-10 minute walk - Wifi in rooms is okay, but not the best Conclusion: Manage your expectations. If you are okay with a private room in a hostel-like setting, this is a good option for you. For us, it was fine – nothing to really like or dislike. Just a small, basic, clean place to stay.

BEWARE!!! I would not recommend this hotel which seems like it is a scam. Had to pay for this room in advance. Got to Cork, could not find parking anywhere to get to the hotel. Called the number to this hotel at least 20 times from 2 pm and thereafter , no one ever answered. Finally decided to stay at a nice B & B about 20 miles from Cork. Got to our room and this hotels number called us at about 10 pm without leaving a message.

Try Somewhere Else.
Avoid. This place is good for backpackers & college kids, but not for families. Bathrooms are dirty & moldy. Walls are thin. Furniture & carpet is new, but walls need to be painted.

Cheap and cheerful
Exactly what we needed- absolutely nothing fancy about this place but it was cheap, clean and right in the centre of town. Perfect for somewhere cheap for a short stay. The staff were really friendly and very helpful.

The property was in a good location, a short walk to the popular areas, pubs, and shopping. The desk staff was friendly and provided recommendations. There was no AC in my room so I woke up sweaty once or twice, and it had a slight odor to it noticeable when I would walk inside.

El colchón tiene por lo menos 20 años, al dormir se te clavan todos los muelles del colchón, la habitación es pésima, lo único que el recepcionista es amable.

Bien situado, limpio y tranquilo. La única pega que pondría sería que la puerta del baño era un poco ruidosa y nuestra habitación estaba justo al lado.

OK overnatning
Vi overnattede her en nat i privat dobbeltværelse, og det var sådan set fint, men er glad for vi kun havde en nat. God wifi. Køkkenet var lidt slidt, og kunne godt have haft flere ting at lave mad med, men var rent og fint. Værelset var ikke helt rengjort, med blandt andet en snavset klud efterladt på værelset. Badeværelset var fint nok, dog lidt snavset kabine. Værelset var ellers ok, men sengen var meget ubekvem.

Hello Jean Marc, You have rated our hostel without even staying with us, so I think this is a little bit unfair. We have 48 cancellation policy however we were willing to work with you, even when you cancelled the reservation on the day in the afternoon. May I point out that the only reason you have cancelled the room was your friend being unhappy due to the fact that you have booked the room without private bathroom. We were trying to reach out, however the email you have provided was invalid. After all we hoped you have enjoyed touring Ireland on your motorbike.

Super netter und hilfsbereiter Portier, sauberes Appartment mit kompletter Küche (als Gemeinschaftsraum); quasi mitten in der Stadt, trotzdem ruhig. Einziges "kleines Manko" (wenn man dies überhaupt so nennen möchte: es gibt ein Gemeinschaftsbad/-klo für 3 Zimmer.
