The Imperial did not disappoint! The room was clean and comfortable. What also made this property stand out was the service from all the staff we interacted with during our stay. The doorman, concierge, front desk staff and bar staff were all very friendly and helpful. The location was excellent with many shopping, pub and restaurant choices within easy walking distance.

Room was in good condition, with the exception of the faucets. Took a hot second to get water running. Also, didn’t realize how noisy the Cork Jazz Festival would be, so clearly misunderstood that event. Wouldn’t stay here again during the Jazz festival.
