Premier Inn Cork City Centre
The room (318) was so quiet I thought I'd lost my hearing. Building work outside but couldn't hear it at all. Bed was comfy, staff were very friendly and helpful, and plenty of hot water. Central location and cheapest accomodation I could find at that time. Would definitely stay again
