Nagyon kényelmes és hangulatos szállás 10 perc sétára a nagy nyüzsgéstől.
Pros:

Gyönyörű a vízesés az udvarban, és szuper, hogy reggeli közben ezt látod. A recepción minden dolgozó szuperkedves és rugalmas volt. Az ágy kényelmes, a szoba mindennel felszerelt: vasaló, vasalódeszka, hajszárító is volt. Eredetileg az egyetem közelében akartunk megszállni, de nagyon örülök, hogy végül a itt sikerült szobát találnunk, mert Cork nagyon kompakt város, minden nagyon közel van, nagyon jó volt minden reggel besétálni és élvezni a várost. A közvetlen közelében, a sarkon két szuper ír kocsma is van, igazi ír élőzenével. A választásnál a másik fontos szempontom az volt, hogy szép, régi épületben legyen.

Cons:

Nekem nem hiányzott semmi. Mondjuk ilyen árkategóriában még nem volt szállásom :)
Ja, mégis: jobban tetszett volna a szoba, ha merészebb színeket használtak volna - a miénk szürke-fehér volt.

Charming hotel in good location but parking a problem
Pros:

Very central to Cork - a vast variety of all different kinds of restaurants nearby. Lovely cozy room with some outstanding amenities such as good quality toiletries, spacious walk-in shower, friendly personnel

Cons:

The parking arrangements were unclear in the instructions and the actual car park where they have the arrangement with is quite a long way away and still costs a lot of money plus the lifts are out of action until further notice due to building work.

The room was quite stuffy with only a small window. However, they had provided a fan in the room.

Why would you stay anywhere else in Cork?
Pros:

This is an absolutely fabulous hotel. It's got that Wow factor as soon as you see it & goes to Wow, Wow when you walk into the main entrance. Thereon it remained faultless for us. Staff acted like they were invested in to the hotel, great restaurant, adjoining cocktail bar. Short walk to the station town. A brilliant place to start our Irish vacation.

Cons:

There was genuinely nothing I could find fault with.

ALGO DECEPCIONADOS!!
Pros:

Los apartamentos del hotel Isaacs están muy céntricos, hay un supermercado al lado y muchos pubs y restaurantes. La estación del tren está muy cerca y la de bus también. La parada de bus a Kinsale está a 5 min del hotel. El personal del hotel fue muy amable.

Cons:

El precio de los apartamentos no se correspondía con la calidad de los mismos. Además de no tener ascensor y aire acondicionado (eso ya lo sabíamos), nuestro apartamento tenía las habitaciones muy pequeñas, lo justo para pasar, y la cocina tb y no tenía microondas. Era muy oscuro, el pasillo estaba pintado de azul oscuro, tanto las paredes como el techo y las puertas. En las habitaciones hacía mucha calor, el hotel nos ofrecía un ventilador, pero no había sitio donde colocarlo, y si abrías la ventana oías el ruido de los trabajadores en el patio, pues en el bajo estaban las cocinas (tb te llagaba el olor a comida). El otro apartamento era un poco más grande y luminoso pero igualmente hacía calor.
Otra cosa que no nos gustó fue que hicimos una única reserva de 2 apartamentos, pues éramos un grupo grande, con unos meses de antelación, y, al llegar, nos dicen que tenemos los apartamentos separados, pensamos que serían en distinta planta, pero fue en distintos edificios, lo que nos resultó incómodo.

Don't fall for waterfall picture.
Pros:

Pretty entry, great - exceptional breakfast.

Cons:

Misleading- entry with waterfall and resturants on either side are separate businesses.

Front desk was irritated by any questions and can't help with basics. Restaurant is not part of hotel so if you need ice or water you have to go to Restaurant and ask which is uncomfortable. No fridge in room so you had to get water and ice every night. Can't keep snacks in room. Desk would not assist with anything and the fancy, high class Restaurant was not happy with us asking for ice, etc while busy.

Front desk doesn't want to be bothered and Staff actually made us uncomfortable waking thru lobby - no eye contact- if you ask a question it was clearly a bother.

It was hot when we visited, windows in our room didn't open and room was stuffy and hot. Google said a/c but there is no a/c.

Pros:

Posizione eccellente per visitare la città, centralissima! Gli appartamenti sono nuovi, ben arredati e dotati di tutti i comfort.

Cons:

L'appartamento si trovava proprio sopra un pub, perciò è stato estremamente rumoroso fino a tarda notte. E' stato difficile prendere sonno a causa della musica ad alto volume e delle chiacchiere di chi era al pub.

Great staff, needs air conditioning
Pros:

Staff, location

Cons:

Room was stuffy with no air conditioning. Street very noisy with windows open, double windows kept out noise but made the room stuffy. Staff provided two fans which helped some.

Gezellig lang weekend in een levendige stad
Pros:

Heerlijk appartement met prima faciliteiten op een top locatie voor bezoek aan de stad en (dag)tochten. Bussen en treinstation op loopafstand. Heel vriendelijk en gastvrij personeel. Het hotel zelf heeft prima en gezellige ontbijt en diner faciliteiten en de buurt heeft ook veel eetgelegenheden. En een kleine supermarkt dichtbij.

Cons:

Alles was prima

Wonderful place to stay but will inquire/request air conditioned room if back again in the warmer months.
Pros:

Clean, convenient location, friendly staff

Cons:

The only negative was one of the two rooms did not have air conditioning and it was very warm. We did get a second fan from staff when requested. The AC unit had been installed but was not set up yet and it was a very hot/humid couple days when we stayed.

Would not book again
Pros:

We stayed in the newly renovated apartment accommodations about one block from the hotel. The apartment was lovely and comfortable.
Location - windows overlooking the rooftops was not very appealing
Biggest downside was that our apartment was on the fourth floor, up many carpeted stairs. We are fit and it was a challenge. The location would be very difficult for many people. Suggest the hotel explain this very clearly when booking.

Cons:

Four floors of stairs. No lift. Not clearly stated when booking.
