Cork hotels near English Market

Pros: Old world charm and very polite staff

Pros: Facilities

Cons: The hotel is hard to find. Even the GPS struggled to get us there. Old world atmosphere, with some unusual and welcome additions; a bottle of whisky at the reception desk to parch the thirst and ease the frustration of locating the place. Another fun touch, a putter and play practice green in the room. It is a nice place but would I stay there again? probably not. It's the little things that matter in a hotel and the dinning reception left us cold. We made dinner reservations and showed up on time, appropriately dressed, only to be kept waiting while others streamed by, were welcomed, and seated. Eventually,We were placed in a back room at what must have been the worst table in the place, center stage, traffic area in a room surrounded by cozy booths. The Food and service excellent, but the second rate treatment left a bad taste. So we move on, to a better experience somewhere else.

Pros: The rooms were beautiful, clean, and spacious. We arrived early, got a room quickly, and even were upgraded to a suite just like that. The staff treated us like queens and kings, making us feel like part of their family. Everyone was cheerful and helpful during our stay, and the bartenders were eager to talk about local places to see and shop at. A highlight indeed for our Ireland trip.

Pros: Very clean place and reasonably priced. Would love to come back again!

Pros: The person who checked us in was nice and friendly. He carried our heaviest suitcase up the stairs for us. They served us tea and scones after we checked in to our room.

Pros: Nice lobby and downstairs

Cons: Bedrooms were very dated and needed renovation, unbearably hot, tv with very bad picture (old bulky tv) paint peeling off bathroom ceiling and nigh on impossible to get mixer tap for shower to give right temperature!

Pros: Solid old style hotel

Pros: Lovely and helpful staff. Very comfortable.

Cons: Hard to get a hold of people on phone for services.

Pros: Immaculately clean old world hotel (Victorian building). Quiet rooms. Reasonably priced restaurant with gastro pub vibe.

Cons: Elevators could do with some sprucing up and the jolt with which they stop on reaching your floor can easily raise an eyebrow. Food is only available at set times in the restaurant. I had a late start on Sunday morning and there was little available.

Pros: Restaurant was very good. Walking distance from some shops and eaterys. Bed was comfortable.

Cons: No air conditioning. The lift was being worked on so we had to take the stairs with several bags.
