I was on business visiting one of my companies sites on Little Island, Cork. The whole experience from check on Monday through to check out on Wednesday was excellent. The high level of service starting with the staff from reception, the coffee stand and restaurant bar were polite, efficient and helpful. In particular, the mercurial Paudi behind the bar - he made the stay even more enjoyable with his wit and conversations that we had. I am recommending this hotel to others, including to myself as I will be returning to Cork every other month and I will be booking into The Radisson Blu and next time using the SPA & other Leisure facilities. It was my pleasure to stay at this hotel. Thanks to all the staff I encountered during my stay. Narinder

Great location to visit the wildlife park but it’s not walkable. Room was lovely. It had everything we needed. Peaceful nights sleep too. You have to pre book the leisure club and children are only allowed at certain times meaning we missed out in the morning as my 13yr old wasn’t allowed in until 9am but we had to leave then.
Breakfast: Choice of food was amazing. Absolutely everything on offer. We were a bit rushed because we had the titanic experience booked so had to be punctual. We had to chase up the toast 3 times. It was the only thing my son would eat so couldn’t let it slide. Then it arrived stone cold so they apologised and redid it for him.
Overall it was a lovely hotel and included some nice touches like Lily O”Brien chocolates in the room, a coffee maker and free bottle of wine for Deluxe rooms. Turn down service was a welcome surprise too.

It was a wonderful Victorian-style hotel. The hotel was remodeled from a former hospital building, and it has luxurious spaces. The rooms were clean and spacious, of course. The bathrooms were also of a high standard. It was impressive that they eliminated the bathtub to save water consumption in order to maintain the sustainability that the hotel aims for. I hope it will continue to develop as a good accommodation.

Rachel at reception saved our vacation to Cork! Upon arrival to Cork, our airbnb had visible mold and smelled of mildew. Even though the Jury's Inn was fully booked, she helped us try to find a new location. After spending time in your lobby, Rachel rushed out to tell us there was a cancelation! Not only did she help us get a room, she provided complimentary drinks for ”our rough day”. I can't say enough good things about how caring Rachel was through the entire process. Thank you Rachel and Jury's Inn!

I got a room with a window facing the in-door atrium, which meant not having a window with daylight. For the price I paid, I would expect to have a room with a window with daylight.
Spa was not clean and I didn't enjoy it at all. Breakfast was not good either. I won't stay with Clayton again.

This hotel has history, and it stands out among hotels in its price range. Every detail has been carefully curated, and it's possible to feel that you are in a grand hotel in a grand city. One of us uses a cane and has visible trouble walking. On check-in, it was probably too late to move us to a room that does not require navigating stairs. However, in the breakfast room, we were given a table down several steps, even though there were at least a dozen free tables on the floor level. Again, this area is beautifully decorated, including a round table with attractive and impractical boxed supports that make it impossible to sit comfortably. Each hotel has to work out how to serve breakfast economically while providing an excellent experience for the guests. The ”bird cage” high tea type assortment used at the Imperial must mean they discard items that guests have not selected. Although this property would be among the first we'd consider on a return visit, we would not choose the breakfast option.

The hotel is close to Cork city centre, with convenient transportation and a good local hotel. The interior is fully equipped and the service is very welcoming. It can also be accommodated 1-2 hours in advance. There are restaurants in the bar, but there are fewer varieties of breakfast.

I have just returned from a wonderful 2 night Stay in the Garryvoe Hotel. Myself and 3 friends went off for a 2 night stay and didn’t want to travel too far and picked this Hotel. Unusually for me, I didn’t put in any research, but was blown away but all the facilities and the Hotel in general. Our rooms for starters were just lovely. Huge rooms with beautifully fresh quality linen on the beds. Spacious bathroom and lovely balcony with view of the Sea. Impressive Coffee maker in the room which was replenished daily, plus fresh water. We took full advantage of the beautiful pool and lap pool and also visited the Steam, Sauna and hot tub. All these facilities were first class. Must mention, we all asked for robes and they were delivered pronto to our rooms. We enjoyed lunch when we arrived and Dinner that evening. The Menu was excellent and so was the quality of the food. Breakfast was so good, starting with a buffet for fresh fruit salad, cereals and pastries. Lovely hot menu including Excellent Creamy Porridge, Eggs Benedict and fresh fish, all freshly made to order which was quite evident. I have to comment on the Staff in the Restaurant who were so welcoming and really just lovely, they reminded me of what Irish Hospitality used to be famed for. Garryvoe is a beautiful Hotel inside and extremely relaxing. It has the benefits of the beach on its doorstep and Ballycotton and Ballymaloe about 10 mins away as other attractions. I could not recommend this Hotel highly enough and will definitely be back.

GGuest UserThe Montenotee hotel is an experience of its own , fantastic views over the city , amazing interior design, delicious food and professional staff .. The glasshouse is superb with quality cocktails and surroundings. Highly recommend.
I'm not sure i am the target demographic for this hotel, but i did thoroughly enjoy my stay. Quirky and ”photogenic”, this hotel is an amazing experience. Staff are outstanding, polite, and helpful. Rooms are clean and bright. Modern and aesthetically prominent, i would definitely recommend this hotel for a break of a day or two. From the swings in the lobby, to the quirky cards on the bed and door hangers, there was definitely an air of fun meets serious. My only real complaint was that there is nowhere to put your clothes. I was there for work for four days, and had four coat hangers. Apart from this, excellent experience. highly recommended.
GGuest UserThe receptionist a mature lady ensured from the minute we arrived that all would go well even if we were English. She helped my wife with the local Pharmacy (thank you).The hotel has ample parking. Parts of the hotel actually have an interesting Irish Rail history as well. The hotel is right next to a decent high street 5minute walk away. They also served Murphy's in the bar! The room was good but it was the history inside the hotel and the conversion of the Railway bridge into a drinking area very novel. Breakfast was very good and competative no complaints from me Irish Breakfast same as an English to me! Would we stay there again yes we are planning to again next year. Iy is only a 45min drive drom Cork airport.
MMa Ka ChuenThis hotel is located in the heart of Cork, making it a convenient choice for travelers. As a new establishment, it boasts a clean and comfortable environment, ensuring a pleasant stay. Premier Inn consistently offers affordable rates, making it an excellent option for those on a budget. I had a great experience during my visit and will definitely choose to stay here again when I return to Cork in the future. The combination of its prime location, modern amenities, and reasonable pricing makes it a standout choice for anyone visiting the area.
GGuest UserAbsolutely brilliant hotel. Staff were nothing next to amazing, especially John (guest relations). Every hotel should have a John. Brilliant. Bar staff again brilliant. Food was amazing. And nothing was ever a problem. Hated checking out.

GGuest UserI am in love with their bed!! It’s the best I’ve ever slept on. So in love, I had to investigate to find out who makes their bed: it’s by the natural sleep company. I slept deliciously and I will now get a bed like that for my home.
The employees were quite kind and helpful too.
Clearly, from the bed alone, they invest in quality. It’s a gorgeous building and exquisitely maintained with a magnificent old world charm. I hope this gem lasts for ages and doesn’t succumb to the boring, overly modern, cookie cutter trope a lot of hotels have fallen into.
I will return for sure.
NNomad52723409364Our room was comfortable. It was a good size, modern decor, and modern bathroom fixtures with a large tiled shower stall. The hotel had 2 elevators. activated by room keys. This hotel chain prefers jars of Body Wash to soap. Not having an iphone, I appreciated using the computer in their business room to do emails. There isn't really a lobby area at the entrance, but the cocktail and bar lounge, connected to a small dining area, serve as sitting areas when waiting for others. We arrived tired from a day of travel so we were delighted to eat in the hotel's dining room for an evening meal rather than go exploring for a restaurant. The prices for evening meals in the hotel cafe were reasonable with a discount offered on 2 and 3 courses. The Bacon and Chicken Salad (15E) I ordered was delicious and dinner size, and desserts like Eton Mess were around 6.75E. During the day, the hotel has a coffee shop (scones 3E) with both indoor and outdoor seating. Could take away the pastries and enjoy them in the room where coffee and tea and kettle were free to use. No bakery shop was nearby. The hotel is within walking distance of the English Market (a bakery counter here) and shopping streets like St. Patrick's Street. For us, it was a good choice for an overnight stay with Insight coach tours.
When we arrived, the outside appearance did not bode well, however, once inside we were greeted by a very nice young lady who showed us to our rooms. We both had rooms with stunning views over the falls, very clean, tidy, comfortable and warm. The food was really lovely, although not too great a choice for a veggie, however, John was really friendly and entertaining! There was a young man singing and playing guitar the first evening, he was really good and we joined in! Breakfast in the morning was again a wee bit disappointing for a veggie, great for carnivores though! John's service again was really great, giving out ideas of where to visit etc. Our meal the next evening was also very good and then we had the experience of a lot of older people descending into the pub. What a night!!! The couples were Irish dancing and we were really exhausted just watching them, they never really sat down! We were asked to join in, we would not have been able to keep up with them all! Our relatives went up to bed and we stayed down to watch them, however, we had to call it a day and they were all still going!!! They did not even make a noise when leaving! Breakfast again in the morning was good and John very attentive. The only one niggle we had, was a dog barking in the room next to our relatives room, which did disturb them a wee bit. This was one of our favourite hotels during our stay in Ireland and would definitely stay again.
GGuest UserI have just check out yesterday and the hotel is lovely and the lobby is beautiful will a lot of space to take a seat and relax. This hotel also has no shortage of car parking spaces surrounding the building. We had booked a interconnecting room for 5 Ladies which is ideal for friends going for a night away. We had arrived before check in not expecting our rooms to be ready but to just leave our cars and head into town. The gentleman on reception was fantastic ( I'm so sorry for not remembering his name) he was able to check us in to one of our rooms early and send up a few drinks for us which was amazing and really set our stay up the right way. he also gave us great recommendations for food and drinks in the city which really helped. The rooms where spotless and we had nothing to complain about here. The beds are very comfortable. I also liked that the bathrooms have the bath and shower separate. the rooms are very quiet also which helped with getting some sleep. The breakfast was the only thing I would say was only ok. The only option for hot breakfast was Porridge or Full Irish which I thought was a bit limited. With it still being table service in this hotel, which I don't have a problem with, the server we had had forgot one or two things we asked for and we had to ask again. Some items we then received some we didn't. This still would not stop me from staying again. We had a very fun, comfortable, easy, friendly stay here and I would recommend this hotel to friends/family.
The experience from entering reception to departure was second to none. Yes there are fancier hotels but your establishment had something special. staff were friendly, helpful and excellent to deal with. I had a super hot plate of lamb in your bar washed down with two nice beers. Rooms were comfortable clean and quiet. Breakfast at 7.00 was just what I needed for the day ahead. I hope to be back again as I pass through Mallow. Thank you for upholding the small family hotel experience.
