Good location, good service and breakfast with free on site parking
Pros:

We liked the location, not far to walk to the waterside, the room was top floor and sea facing, so we could see the cruise ships coming in. The staff were very good and efficient and served a good breakfast. All this with on site free parking. We stayed for 1 night only. Probably one of the best places to stay in Cobh.

Cons:

Nothing as we stayed for 1 night only.

The area of Cobh was lovely and the resort was nice but it wouldn’t take much to make it lovely as well.
Pros:

Beautiful location. Having a restaurant and a bar on the property was very convenient.

Cons:

The bed was very uncomfortable. The mattress should have been replaced a while ago, and yet it remains. Sagging and worn are the 2 adjectives that come to mind.

Apartamento muy acogedor y muy buen trato
Pros:

Nos alojamos en la Suite 5. Apartamento muy grande y acogedor, totalmente equipado. La zona es muy tranquila y de fácil acceso. Muy buen trato del personal del hotel, especialmente Alexis (el chico de recepción) fue muy cercano y amable, e incluso nos aconsejó sitios que podíamos visitar en la ciudad.
