Premier Inn Cork City Centre

We stayed to attend an event in the city and Premier Inn was so handy being only a short walk to the city centre. We arrived prior to the check in time and the girl on reception was super pleasant and offered us early check-in at a cost of €15 or storage for our bags, as we were not in a rush at that point we decided to leave our bags and after a drink go and explore for a while. The bar was lovely and bright and the young man behind it was extremely friendly and gave us great advise on bars to go to after our event ends
Breakfast was very tasty and the team were very approachable

We use premier inn whenever we can. Staff, cleanliness and of course the mattresses. This time was a mistake. Some staff members stand out as great: Paidraigh who booked us in, and a Spanish staff-member whose name I don’t know. Beyond booking in, it was a truly horrible experience.

Great city centre location and off a main road. Bars, restaurants and attractions all within a short walk. Public transport is really cheap if you want to go further afield.
Friendly staff and generally a quiet but pleasant feel in bar/reception area. Room was a good size and the rain shower was a pleasant surprise. My room was facing inwards so really quiet (but wonder if the courtyard might get busy in summer months)?
Not the cheapest I’ve ever stayed in but was competitive with other local hotels and travelling solo is always more expensive. Buffet breakfast was good value.
Overall you know what to expect with Premier Inn and I was very happy with this stay.

There seems to be a lack of staff in this Premier inn. Check in took a long time, as it was busy. It appears , the same staff member works on reception and the bar and restaurant. The hotel is becoming a bit worn . The lounge/foyer area was too cold , to sit comfortably for any length of time. The staff were all very pleasant. I would return, if I got it for a good price, as it is in a good location.

Everything was excellent. All staff, especially Mark, were so friendly, warm and welcoming. Everything was clean, quiet and comfy, in the rooms and the hotel. Beds in particular were so comfy. Food was amazing, great selection and fresh, both dinner and breakfast. Perfect rooms for our group family stay. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Had a fantastic weekend with family. Great location.
Hotel clean and comfortable, very welcoming.
Staff were all friendly and helpful, especially Mark, Ross, Miguel, Padraig and Mariana, made to feel very welcome.
Deserve recognition, thank you all.

Very low quality hotel.
The room was just fine, not very clean and the bathroom…. A dirty curtain in the shower, no toilet brush…
Direct view on opposite building…
I had the worst breakfast experience in an hotel of this category.
The breakfast is just poor and very poor quality.
I will never go back in this hotel and don’t recommend it.

Group of 9 of us for birthday trip. Hotel was very clean, friendly staff and great location. Beds were comfy, shower was excellent and rooms were spacious. Would recommend and would stay again.

Great location and good breakfast selection with friendly staff. Would recommend.

Deducted a star for finding a previous occupants sock behind curtain in the room upon checking in ( tues aft), requested it to be removed but wasnt bothered about room being cleaned for a 2 day visit - guess what it was still there when we left ( thurs am) .
Not something i expect from any hotel - chain or independent !!

• Central location right on the riverside

• Laid back and no fuss atmosphere

• Very secure

• Staff efficient

Terrible experience with this hotel, avoid. When we discovered that the parking was so far away I tried to cancel via Booking.com. Reached out to the hotel directly on various levels but we were fobbed off. it was impossible for mobility reasons for us to stay but were charged for cancelling despite attempting to explain our situation. I realise they are a big chain but their customer service is so poor. Reception in Cork weren't answering and central reservations sent me from pillar to post and laid the blame on booking.com, yet it was the hotel that invoiced me and charged my card.

Stayed for one night. Check in was straightforward with a competent friendly young guy on reception. Had a room overlooking the river which was lovely. Parked in Q Park which is discounted by the Premier Inn which I think saved us 25-30€. The car park is about a 10 min walk from the hotel. Breakfast was as you would expect, we went for the continental. They do need another coffee machine though, one isn’t enough for a busy breakfast time. Staff at breakfast were very efficient. Room was clean and comfortable and the hotel is in a good location.

Close to amenities, walkable to major toirist sites. Rooms were big and beds were comfortable.

This was a one night trip to visit the city. I needed a bed, shower and convenient location and this hotel met all I needed. I didn't eat there but made use of the vending machines for snacks and coffee available in room. The room was spotless and comfortable and got a great nights sleep in the wonderful bed. No complaints at all. First class

The hotel was clean,good looking building,very comfortable and nice reception area,booking in was easy,pay at hotel ,room was comfortable,great shower and bath,comfortable bed,good value for money,very relaxed atmosphere in hotel

Snotty staff not empowered to deal w an electrical power blackout ( only their hotel, not felt by others) The hotel had not serviced their electric properly causing complete system collapse w no back-up generator. Their manager

The only complaint I would have is the parking situation! We were told the hotel had an agreement with a parking garage nearby that gave a discount on guest parking. The garage was an 8 minute walk away, which isn’t too bad, but inconvenient if you forgot something in your car. The morning my family and I left for the airport at 4am, the garage was coned off everywhere with no one working. To avoid being late for our flight, my husband moved all of the cones but then the arm wouldn’t lift to let us out. I eventually called the number for the garage I found on Google and a very nice lady helped us out. I would still very much stay here again, as the parking did not turn me away. Everything else was perfect! The place was beautiful, spotless, amazing staff and great bar! Very close to shopping and dining!

Parking is a nightmare here!! If you have a car don’t stay. They don’t have any spots to park and construction right out front. If you don’t it’s a great convenient place to stay.

In the centre near everywhere & walking distance to everywhere
Comfortable bed great breakfast comfortable reception

This was a great stay for the price. I've stayed in all types of hotels throughout Ireland and this was specifically for the Cirk Folk Festival. The price was very affordable, the breakfast was separate from the room rate but was adequate and affordable. The room was very clean and spacious and quiet. It had everything I needed and refills of tea, etc were available. The bar was fine and opened til a decent hour. The lobby has plenty of sitting areas. The staff were very friendly and accommodating as well. I highly recommend this hotel.
