Comfortable grand hotel.
Pros:

We had a junior suite, which was quiet and very spacious, overlooking the harbour. The parking area in the rear of the property was handy. The hotel is centrally located a short walk to everything in Cobh.

Cons:

Wouldn’t stay there again due to the condition of room.
Pros:

Good location, handy there was a restaurant on site.

Cons:

A lot of the suites have been updated. The room we stayed in hadn’t been except for new bed and new shower. Carpet was worn, paint was bad condition, old thin curtains, dated furniture. The room was also lacking basic items, tissues, glasses, fridge.
