Cork hotels near Triskel Arts Centre

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.

I fyou come from rail station which on map is very close you need to ge a taxi nomatter what your age it is a very steep hill. Have cash since less than 1 in 10 will acept credit cards.

Cons: Service at the restaurant was very poor

Pros: The views from the deck were outstanding. The food was very good and the room was very comfortable, the provided toiletry items were excellent. If I was to go back to Cork I would not consider staying anywhere else.

Pros: Excellent location lovely view over cork city. Will be coming back next year

Pros: Location and facilities

Pros: The breakfast is amazing, the facilities are very good, the hotel view is wonderful.

Cons: The stairs are too close from the bedrooms, so the entire night you can listen guests taking, walking and closing the doors. And also the bedroom window was facing the parking. So too much noise all the time

Pros: Location Walking distance to city center

Pros: Great staff, nice place, reasonable walk to the city center and plenty of places to eat and drink.

Pros: The property was in a beautiful house that has been restored. The bathroom looked newly remodeled and the shower was nice. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We stayed in a family room that had a good amount of space for our party of 3.

Cons: The location wasn’t quite as close to the city center as I hoped, but still within walking distance. The area is quite hilly. The parking lot was fairly slanted which was a scary driving a stick shift rental car. Apparently automatic cars are very rare in Ireland.

Pros: The staff were outstanding. Friendly and helpful. Wonderful views over the city. Amazing garden with rabbits hens and ducks.

Pros: The front desk officer , Valerie is a personification of high standards and quality service in a hospitality area. She was extremely professional , polite and welcoming, not only providing me with all necessary information about the city, but she also helped me to carry my extra heavy luggage to the second floor and to get it down the following day. In general terms, the staff is very friendly and it feels like an owner and manager do a good job and take care of its personnel . Undoubtedly , I recommend to everyone who is passing by Cork City to stay at Gabriel House .

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: Everything was fabulous with the hotel. I would recommend that you book directly with the hotel to get the best value. Breakfast was not included in my booking

Cons: I think I would have got a better deal if I had booked directly from the hotel, it was a shock to not have breakfast included in the price I payed. I didn't feel like I got a good deal.

Also a reasonable driving distance to Blarney Castle and gardens.

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.
