            The hotel ignored my request to put my company name on the receipt. Before checking in, I had send the request and the hotel people said they they could only manage it on departure. They issued an invoice with wrong content and amount and ignore my follow up email. The only reason I requested to put certain information was because we need to claim for business trip as the company request. If we were not on business trip, we wouldn’t care about the receipt.

They have the best croissant I ever tasted! Everything interesting is walking distance especially the English Market and St. FinBarre Cathedral. :)

            The best three things about this hotel are: 1) great service 2) cleanliness 3) walking distance to downtown

            I enjoy our stay at this hotel, although the location is not at the heart of downtown, but we enjoy our walk; there are restaurants nearby and churches surrounding the area. The things that I really like about this hotel are the great service - everybody is nice and the cleanliness of our room and the hotel itself - the lounge and the dining area.

            Stayed overnight here on a Sunday. Not much was open in Cork when we arrived (about 7pm). A few nice restaurants and the city center is maybe a 5 minute walk. Free parking onsite if you are travelling by car from memory. The hotel decor was nice and the room was reasonably comfortable. I would recommend staying here.
