Modern B&B hotel close to Cork city centre
This modern B&B type hotel offers a simple and nice breakfast. Our room was fresh and large.
We enjoyed that the hotel is close to the city center and in walking distance to some good restaurants.
The staff is friendly and helpful.

Good location, has car park
Good location, clean, modern, has a car park, which is rare in Cork City Center. The breakfast (included in my stay) was good only thing I wish it had was a gym and/or leisure center.

Great Place to Stay
Top-class, affordable guest house that is on par with any 4* hotel in terms of room quality, comfort, service and amenities. Just 3 minutes walk to the university and 5 minutes walk to the city centre. Highly recommended :-)

Very central
Great location with an easy stroll to nearby shops and pubs. Parking was great. Gorgeous bathroom and a comfy room of reasonable size. Nice bed and very quiet despite being in the city. Would definitely recommend.
