Staff/Management were so kind and welcoming
Pros:

This is my third time staying at the Commodore hotel Cobh. When I booked a single room I asked for a bath. They have very few baths now due to refurbishment. When I arrived I asked again but understood it probably wasn't possible, a Manager (I assume) over heard me and rearranged my booking so I had a room with a bath. This room was amazing, I had such a relaxing stay, I highly recommend the Commodore and all staff were lovely and so welcoming, I'm really grateful that on a busy Easter weekend they went out of their way for me.

Pros:

From the moment we walked into the hotel everything was so clean and neat, the lady at reception was very helpful, the food was excellent, the staff were great, and was a surprise to have biscuits and buns in the room and bottled water,

Cons:

The only fault was are bedroom it was small, no bedside lockers, the only place to put anything was at the window had a long bench seat, same in the bathroom, very clean but no where to put your toiletries very small sink nice shower, but as I've said no were too put anything,
