Cork hotels near Fitzgerald's Park

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: Delicious breakfast, with a huge variety of food. We especially loved the outdoor hot tub in the leisure centre. Would definitely go back !

Pros: Room food location

Pros: Awesome hotel in the Cork area with spacious and comfortable rooms and nice views of the river and park. Would have loved to stay longer and enjoy the spa and pool area.

Pros: Nice, relaxed ambience of the hotel. Great staff and food

Cons: Nothing

Pros: I am a previous customer of the Kingsley. And excellent hotel. But what annoyed me was that in the room I was in the ironing board was hard to open. Small thing

Pros: Great location and hotel facilities, front desk very helpful

Cons: Buffet breakfast was a bit dry under the heating lights

Pros: Loved the hotel and the staff but the Restaurant for dinner was very disappointing. Very slow service and the staff at the restaurant, while very friendly were poorly trained

Pros: While the wait staff (excluding the bar staff) were rather helpful, the one working elevator was slow, the spa did not have any openings, and we received a 3am wake up call that we did not authorize. For a luxury hotel, they have some work to do.

Pros: Position ,staff are AAAplus food is fantastic

Cons: Nothing to dislike

Pros: Excellent facilities with indoor and outdoor pool. Bed was extremely comfortable and staff were very helpful and friendly.

Cons: The water was cut off so we could not shower or use taps for a few hours.

Pros: Great view from room, comfortable beds and pleasant décor. Overall an enjoyable stay. Staff met our needs when requesting assistance or information. Breakfast was good and so was dinner at the restaurant.

Cons: No negative comments.

Pros: Everything else was exceptional.

Cons: The water in the shower was cold and wouldn't warm up.

Pros: Loved the location

Cons: Absolutely nothing can't say anything bad

Pros: Everything, the staff, the location and the property itself was fantastic. The hotel was great and it was a lovely experience

Cons: Parking that didn't have to be paid for. Traveling to stay it would be better if there was parking provided that was an extra charge

Pros: Great staff and location. Special shoutout to John, the Concierge, he was the best!!!! Resourceful and unbelievably accommodating. Also enjoyed the conversation with John, our bartender at the MET Bar.

Pros: Good Breakfast

Cons: Room no ventilation - could not open windows. Was like an oven and use of fan made no improvement

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!

Cons: Only issue we had is the room was very hot when we checked in but a quick call to the front desk & maintenance took care of issue. We realize the hotel is a landmark but as the climate changes A/C should be seriously considered.

Cons: Having a double bed with one side against the wall. Only 1 chair. Room 324 was not really big enough for 2. Only 2 coat hangers.

Cons: The room was far too hot and airless, even with the window open

Pros: Everything

Cons: Lovely place and people couldn't do enough for you

Pros: Very comfortable bed and great pillows. Bathroom light and very clean. For a small space it worked well.

Cons: One small and slow lift and the stair access was hard to find.

Pros: Breakfast was not included so did not experience it. Lobby and sitting area very nice for afternoon tea or drinks. Bar is very attractive with lovely staff. Although the hotel room itself was small it was well designed and very comfy, especially as I was traveling alone. Excellent location. Close to train and bus stations, retail and dining.

Cons: I suppose I would have been delighted if breakfast were included with the room rate instead of an additional 12-15 Euros.

Pros: Solid old style hotel

Pros: It’s so comfortable and the breakfast is top class

Pros: Great amenities. Our room (414) was enormous!

Pros: Location near city.

Cons: Lateness of room cleaning. At least twice - late afternoon.

Pros: Check-in: Very smooth. The staff were very efficient and helpful. Rooms: The rooms were a good size, well-decorated, overlooking the carpark and the river. The beds were very comfortable. Breakfast: We did not have breakfast included in our room rate, so we purchased the cooked breakfast (which also includes the continental buffet spread). The breakfast was excellent. Plenty of options and very tasty. The hotel was in a decent location. We walked up and down Washington St to visit many Cork attractions; plenty of restaurants, pubs and shops on the street as well! Also a reasonable driving distance to Blarney Castle and gardens.

Pros: Close to city center

Cons: Beds were very uncomfortable. Was over charged 50 euros. Tried to speak with front desk about it. Were very unhelpful. Not worth the hassle. Will not recommend or stay there again.

Pros: The location was perfect for us as we could walk into town - only ten minutes. Also safe parking available. Breakfast was very good. We had stayed there before and we weren't disappointed.

Cons: It would be lovely if they had a restaurant you could avail of in the evening.

Pros: Breakfast is rich and delicious. It's very close to one of the scenic churches, and it's not far from the English Market on foot.

Cons: Bottled water was not provided. Toilets are smaller.

Pros: Excellent choice for breakfast, staff couldn’t have been more helpful and is only a 10 min walk to centre of Cork. Also a pub across from the hotel.

Pros: Great location and great room

Cons: The bed, the pillows and the cost

Pros: Very central, free parking, nice staff for check-in

Pros: The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean and quiet. I enjoyed a pleasant swim in the fitness centre in the evening. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Pros: There was a large group staying, and we found everybody very friendly and helpful.

Pros: Best hotel in cork

Pros: Very convenient. Nicely appointed rooms. Very clean.

Cons: No facial clothes in the bathrooms. Has to ask for one each day. Just bring me one for each day when I ask the first time!

Pros: Location + staff

Cons: No

Pros: Lovely swimming pool

Pros: Bed very comfy. Room spacious and bright. We visited the spa for some treatments. I was very disappointed with the spa room hotel needs to do a major refurb couches are there when you walk in, so when you come out of your treatments you are not likely to lie and relax as the next people are sitting there as well. Disappointed with just plain water or herbal teas. Dark room needs brightness. Expensive prices in spa for treatments not up to standards of other spas that we have visited.

Cons: The stuff is racist. The lady in short hair at the reception was horrible. Will be making further report.

Cons: Our room opened onto the back alley which served as a soup kitchen I think. Was quite noisy during the night

Pros: very good position on the river right in the center of the city

Cons: reception staff a bit under standards. requested about parking the reception person did not indicate that the hotel had a convention with the public parking in the basement and suggested to go out early in the morning to buy tickets to park on the quay. I discovered that there was an underground parking and that the hotel had a convention by myself. the room was not ready when we arrived at 14.30

Pros: Excellent location great hotel

Cons: Nothing

Pros: I loved the friendliness of the staff, the check in process was so quick and easy. The beautiful room and the size of the rooms were such a surprise. a lot of space than I expected. The food and service was great.

Cons: the swimming pool area looked like a death trap. the floor could have done with a sweep as it was just so wet and slippery. there was also 2 other guests clearing their noses in the pool and just clearing them directly into the swimming pool. made us all gag!
