2.1 / 5 2.1 / 5 Jason [Dublin, IE] on 07/12/2008 (Solo business traveller)

Staff were friendly and responsive. Free wifi in the rooms.

The place is shabby, particularly the room. Needs a good overhaul/modernisation. A lot of noise throughout the night.

Overall: No.  (107566554)

Good central location of hotel. Spacious room and common areas.

View of back of hotel from window of room. Some staff not as friendly as one would expect.

Overall: The central location of the hotel and it's proximity to both the bus and rail stations is definitely one of it's strong points. The room and the hotel as a whole was clean and quite spacious. When approaching the hotel on foot from the bus station as we did it was a little confusing in that, because you could see the hotel, you tried to enter it from the river side, whereas the entrance is in fact in MacCurtain Street. The breakfast was adequate but we have had better. We did not have any other meals at the hotel and so cannot offer further comments on the food or restaurant facilities. Another small negative is the limited lift facilities. Although this did not really affect us because we mostly used the stairs (which are slightly hidden away), it could be a problem at busy times. We also found that some of the staff were not as friendly as one would expect, and certainly not as one is used to in Ireland.  (97781092)

4.1 / 5 4.1 / 5 Henry [Dublin 8, IE] on 10/07/2007 (Solo business traveller)

City Centre location, good staff

Room was a bit small and view was awful. The lift was very slow.

Overall: Not a bad choice for stayign in Cork. The price is only slightly more than Jury's or Days and the location is excellent for going out at night.  (99966336)

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
