Great location
Pros:

Great location easy walk to the city centre

Cons:

Breakfast - food great.
2 issues
1 A Cork hotel not serving Barry’s Tea, seriously!!! This is a minor inconvenience but not having Barry’s Tea in Cork, really!
2 Table being cleared when you go to get something else. This was frustrating as you’d get a drink and go to get food and table cleared by time you get back

Soggiorno breve ma piacevole. Stanza e struttura molto belle
Pros:

Stanza molto bella e lo staff molto cordiale e gentile

Cons:

Purtroppo nella zona posteriore, quella d’accesso ai parcheggi, si formano gruppi di tossici che fanno confusione fino a sera tarda ed avendo la camera proprio sopra, pur essendo al quinto piano è stato abbastanza fastidioso. Oltretutto passare a piedi non dà troppa sicurezza.
