On Ki

Compared to other four star hotel we stayed in Ireland , this is not four-star. We booked three rooms, one of it was not cleaned ( bins were not emptied, towels not changed) after the first night. Bins were also not emptied for another room but towels were changed. There is very limited parking so we were given a voucher everyday for overnight parking in a car park that is five minutes away. The voucher only covered one third of the cost. The car park is very compact, we had to be very careful going in and out.

Good room, just add hot water

Large room, helpful staff, nicely appointed room and bathroom. The shower worked, but the water never got hot, just luke-warm. Small but functional elevator. Standard pub fare available in the bar.

Noise was a big factor

Room smelled of smoke, no temp control so hot, room was over restaurant with super loud music that you could hear so well you can sing to the words (Still loud with ear plugs) kids screaming in the hallways and slamming doors, rooms are older than the front foyer so misleading, the foyer smelled super strong of a nice cologne so not so good for my Mom’s allergies. The bed was comfy and the room space was good. Ask for a room away from the restaurant on the weekend or whenever they have live music past 11pm.

Not good. Parking wasn't great, Kiddie pool has a foot of water in it which wasnt worth my 7 yr olds time. Breakfast staff was great. They were really accommodating and improved our attitude towards the hotel.

Good location, rating is too high for experience

The location is great within Cork; there is a lot to see & do within walking distance. This is important because parking is very limited on site so if you need to leave to drive you will likely have to park offsite. There is no temperature control in the room and we were on the 4th floor so it was VERY hot in the room (even though it was only around 65 degrees outside). The rooms were small and beds were clean but bathroom didn't feel as clean. The space to hang out in the lobby & lobby bar was nice & service was good. Overall I would probably choose a different hotel to stay at next time in Cork

Great staff! The breakfast in the morning was just perfect and they accommodated me bringing up to my sleeping teenager in the room which was very nice of them. Beds were extremely comfortable. If it wasn’t for the heat that day it would have been a lovely stay. They did have fans in the rooms but no A/C on those top floors was a bit uncomfortable. We managed with a cool shower and went outside for the evening until it cooled off.
