The hotel offers stunning views across the docks from rooms, but lacks proper desks and a variety in breakfast options. It's conveniently located in a quiet area close to tourist spots, though a bit of a challenge up a steep hill. The dining experience includes delicious smoothies but isn't included in the stay.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were great in terms of facilities with ample coffee, modern bathrooms, but lacking a proper desk. However, the absence of breakfast was disappointing. The service was accommodating and varied, from housekeeping to tour assistance, despite the absence of an elevator. The location offered stunning views from a steep hill close to Cork city center. The dining options were good but not included in the rate. Overall, a decent stay but with some room for improvement.

The staff accommodated my request to minimize climbing stairs due to a prior injury, showing excellent service. However, the location is up a steep hill, slightly out of the city center. The dining options are served but not included, although they offer made-to-order sandwiches for a quick bite.
