Nice old time hotel in central Cobh
Pros:

Very convenient location to everything in Cobh and a short walk from the train station. Nice restaurant/bar and lobby. Like most old time hotels, the room was small but clean and comfortable. The bathroom was nice and a good size.

Pros:

Location is superb. Parking is great and the staff were lovely.

Cons:

Double room with a view is a little more expensive but very small if it was for two people. Bathroom is again very small and coukd do with paying close attention to details. It's of an average standard but the location makes it worth the visit.
