Some of the bus routes/stops could have been clearer ie 225/226 from Cork City centre to the airport - random bus sign with no number marking outside a hotel however bus drivers were super helpful with directions.
The Blarney Castle was worth the visit if you like Gardens and history. Fitzgerald Park was a bit of a trek and wasn't really that exciting.. Good if you want some quiet time in nature in a OK park. However the English market is great with lots of choice of worldwide foods, seafood stalls were impressive and the poke bowls and sandwiches were also mega for takeaway options.

It was my first ever trip in Irland and Cork was a great introduction. I first visited the Nano Nagle Centre, then went up to Shanagarry for the night, had an amazing dinner at Ballymaloe before moving on to Blarneythe following day. Rising Sons Brewery is a great venue and the brewery tour is very interesting. Maureen's is also a great bar, very comfortable and the decoration is enchanting. Finally, Blarney Castle and Gardens are amazing.

Lots of hustle and bustle, there were a good amount of street entertainers/ buskers. A good selection of shops. The energy was great overall. I noticed a lot more homeless people than the last time I was there. A strong smell of pee from some of the streets.

We stayed in Cork because it was central to other things we wanted to see. That was a mistake. Cork is just a big city. Not overly pretty, not much to do. The English Market is very active and interesting. There are many restaurants and bars. We accidentally booked an apt on a busy street, and it was noisy all night. I wouldn't recommend anybody visit Cork.

The city is very clean and tidy.
The city is very clean and tidy. A visit to the stunning University College of Cork and the lovely Fitzgerald Park can take about half a day each as they are both so amazing. There is a public museum and cafe in Fitzgerald Park. There are many lovely views of the River Lee both in the city centre and around. There are lots of green spaces and the people were friendly. I only went for 3 days on a business trip but would have liked to have spent much more time there to see the other sights of interest such as the Blarney Castle, Cork Goal and Cobh - where the lovely coloured painted houses are. Two weeks in Cork would be ideal for me.
The hotel is very charming, in an old building with a waterfall in the yard. Shops, clubs, pubs and restaurants are nearby, the city centre is 5 min by walk. Aircoach to Dublin in the same street. Breakfast was very good and not expensive. Wlan worked very well, the beds were comfortable. I got a quiet room on request in the 3rd floor (well isolated window). I would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful, recently renovated room, on ground floor
Breakfast room overlooks a tranquil river tributary
Freshly made coffee to order for breakfast
Bus from the city centre stops about a minute away
Access to water font and fridge at any time in commons room
Lovely quiet room, even though the B&B is right beside main road

This is a lovely, modern hotel that is centrally located in the city centre. The rooms are spacious and well equipped and the bedding is comfortable. This has been the only hotel we have stayed in our three weeks in Ireland that actually had a bar fridge - yeah! This small feature means guests can keep drinks and snacks cold. The staff were lovely and very friendly.
The Gabriel House was our favorite stay during our Ireland vacation! The staff was so kind. And we were able to check in early. The room! It was spacious, elegant, modern, comfortable and clean. And all the windows with a view of the river and city! The location was great, too, free parking in their lot and then just a short walk to the city centre.
Less than 10 minutes walk to Cork City centre. Free onsite parking. Clean, comfortable spacious room, nicely decorated throughout the hotel. Great selection of breakfast, very tasty. Staff very friendly, efficient and thoughtful. As we were checking out we were offered bottles of chilled water for our journey. Great idea.
Such a very spacious room . Enough for 4 people since the hotel provides us with 2 queen beds. Breakfast need to order from the waiter. Very nice view to see Cork town as a whole. Only 3 minutes walking to Griffith College Cork. Even though a bit far from city centre , but the taxi is quite easy to get.
Stayed 2 nights in this exceptional city centre apartment. Everything was absolutely perfect. The apartment is spotlessly clean, very well equipped, the beds are very comfortable, and it’s in a convenient location. I had to change my check in time and the host was very flexible and helpful.
The cleanliness of the hotel is A1.
The location is good within a short walk of Douglas village and bus ride from there to Cork city centre.
The adjoining Swimming Pool is great for relaxing.
The restaurant is quite good, varied menu and tasty food at a reasonable cost
We've stayed here before and hopefully will again. The staff is super attentive. The hotel is clean and well located in the Shandon area of Cork City. I love the large lobby where we can sit visit. Thanks for hosting the Mother Jones Festival - that's why we came.
Room size ok. Comfortable bed.
Breakfast selection was ok. We could choose between 4 different 45 minutes visits even though the hotel was far from fully booked.
Free parking just outside.
Buses to the city centre also going outside the hotel.
A classic, Victorian hotel with modern amenities, spacious rooms, and a convenient location within walking distance of the best Cork has to offer. This hotel offers all the comforts of a 4 or 5 star hotel, with the added charm of Old Europe.
Location excellent, rooms tiny but knew that on booking perfect for girly getaway , walking distance from train station. Fabulous cafes and restaurants mins away. Cocktails in hotel fab , walking distance from city centre.
Our Booking did not include breakfast. But the location of the hotel is city centre. It is a beautiful hotel with a lot of history and gorgeous decor. The staff were very friendly and accomodating.
It was a lovely spacious and bright room. Had everything that you could need in it. It's so close to the city centre and train/bus station. I had the breakfast in the hotel which was amazing.
