"Good staff, great breakfast, but the room had a heater that we could not turn off (in June), and despite asking the hotel for assistance, the heat remained on for 2 days straight as we sweated out our stay. "
"The staff was wonderful. I cannot remember the name of the one woman working the front desk but she was so welcoming to our 2 year old (Finn) and each morning of our stay he was excited to go down and talk to her. Made the stay that much better!
Thanks "

The River Lee Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was clean. Staff were top notch beyond exceptional for everything. Beds were comfortable and rooms quiet. There is a small health club attached to the hotel that you can use. They have a pool and that turned out to be really nice. It's included. We didn't eat there but did have a drink. They are pricey. Location is good not great for getting around. Taxi service is easy. This was a last-minute book as we cancelled another reservation. It was a little bit pricey, but I believe that's because it was last minute. Overall, a great stay. "
"This is excellent hotel enhanced tremendously by the most friendly and attentive staff. The hotel property is very spacious and kept very clean. The food served in the restaurants is very good too. Free access to the pool, sauna and steam room is an added bonus. In short, one doesn’t have to leave the hotel, everything is taken care of in the most luxurious surroundings. Don’t miss this gem of the hotel if you are in Cork. "
"Best shower of any hotel! Could have done without the cutesy, cheeky vibes of this ultra modern hotel, but I'm sure others find it funny. It did mean the design was on-point and thoughtful. Good food at the restaurant too. Excellent location to walk around town, except for the late-night trains."
"Lovely room, the breakfast was great and had so many options to choose from. Location was perfect not far from anything. Nice bar which we used most nights. Would happily stay here again "
"The hotel was easy to find and is in walking distance (10 minutes) from the train station. The rooms are nice, & the food at the restaurant is good. Down the street are restaurants and places to shop (10 minute walk)."
"The room was spotless and comfortable. The only thing that needs address (including for students that normally live there) is that there is absolutely no privacy on the higher floors. For some reason the lower floor rooms has the bottom half of the window with privacy glass but not higher up rooms meaning that rooms opposite can see right into each other unless the whole blind is pulled down! I walked into my room to see two guys making out in the building opposite, which isn’t even part of the accommodation!! Felt obligated to pull the blind down whilst it was still daylight!"
"This place is a good place to stay and the only critique is the beds are a little bit rough. A €50 mattress topper on Amazon would fix the problem. That’s just my feedback. Each apartment has a private room that’s rented out and each room has its bathroom with a private shower and toilet and sink. The only thing that shared is the kitchen. I would much rather stay in a place at this then stay in a hostel. Overall, I will give it a 4.5 out of five. Just one small area of improvement is the bed."
