Clayton Hotel Cork City

Clayton Hotel Cork City

10/10 Excellent
"The location of the hotel was excellent. We were able to park our car and walk everywhere in the day that we had to explore the city. We stayed 2 glorious nights. We had an executive king room that was enourmous. We felt like we were in the penthouse suite. Loved the soaker tub, having a mini fridge in the room, and espresso machine, double sinks in the bathroom, separate shower and toilet area. The linens were lovely. The tv for our down time at night worked fabulously and we could connect to Netflix. And the floor to ceiling windows and view were incredible. The room was showing some wear and tear but given all the features that we enjoyed, we could look past that. The buffet breakfast was plentiful and delcious. The staff was helpful and friendly. Liked the easy check in and check out process. Highly recommend this hotel."

"The hotel was beautiful and clean. The lift was not functional when we were there so we had to use the lift that the employees use which was located in a back room and was dingy. The beds were very soft for our liking but overall the hotel was beautiful."

"Rooms are comfortable, food is fine . Location is out of town so you will need either taxi or car to travel to the city. No leisure facilities or pool. Web site hides this well. There is a third party company 5 mins away but you do have to pay and book. All a little mad"
