Some of the bus routes/stops could have been clearer ie 225/226 from Cork City centre to the airport - random bus sign with no number marking outside a hotel however bus drivers were super helpful with directions.
The Blarney Castle was worth the visit if you like Gardens and history. Fitzgerald Park was a bit of a trek and wasn't really that exciting.. Good if you want some quiet time in nature in a OK park. However the English market is great with lots of choice of worldwide foods, seafood stalls were impressive and the poke bowls and sandwiches were also mega for takeaway options.

It was my first ever trip in Irland and Cork was a great introduction. I first visited the Nano Nagle Centre, then went up to Shanagarry for the night, had an amazing dinner at Ballymaloe before moving on to Blarneythe following day. Rising Sons Brewery is a great venue and the brewery tour is very interesting. Maureen's is also a great bar, very comfortable and the decoration is enchanting. Finally, Blarney Castle and Gardens are amazing.

Lots of hustle and bustle, there were a good amount of street entertainers/ buskers. A good selection of shops. The energy was great overall. I noticed a lot more homeless people than the last time I was there. A strong smell of pee from some of the streets.

We stayed in Cork because it was central to other things we wanted to see. That was a mistake. Cork is just a big city. Not overly pretty, not much to do. The English Market is very active and interesting. There are many restaurants and bars. We accidentally booked an apt on a busy street, and it was noisy all night. I wouldn't recommend anybody visit Cork.

The city is very clean and tidy.
The city is very clean and tidy. A visit to the stunning University College of Cork and the lovely Fitzgerald Park can take about half a day each as they are both so amazing. There is a public museum and cafe in Fitzgerald Park. There are many lovely views of the River Lee both in the city centre and around. There are lots of green spaces and the people were friendly. I only went for 3 days on a business trip but would have liked to have spent much more time there to see the other sights of interest such as the Blarney Castle, Cork Goal and Cobh - where the lovely coloured painted houses are. Two weeks in Cork would be ideal for me.
I booked this hotel months before our cross country road trip in Ireland not knowing what to expect. I booked off the ratings and comments of others whom stayed prior. Out of the 5 hotels we stayed at this was hands down the cleanest and nicest hotel of all. The location was a solid 10 and the price was unbeatable.I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone who’s traveling to Cork. I would for sure stay again if I ever get back to Ireland. Side note- I fell in ❤️with this county. Most beautiful and magical place I’ve been 😊
Gorgeous views over Cork City! We spent one night here as part of a long trip around Ireland and had a great time. After arriving at the hotel we decided not to venture back to the city center and made a night of it at the Montenotte - cocktails in the bar, dinner, followed by a movie in the hotel’s theater. It wasn’t super convenient to other restaurants, etc., but was a great destination hotel.
Beautiful, recently renovated room, on ground floor
Breakfast room overlooks a tranquil river tributary
Freshly made coffee to order for breakfast
Bus from the city centre stops about a minute away
Access to water font and fridge at any time in commons room
Lovely quiet room, even though the B&B is right beside main road
Lionella, very helpful and welcoming. Thanks to all the staff
Room was modern and elegant. Loved that we could stream Netflix from our iPad to the room TV. Spacious, clean bathroom. In room amenities excellent. Standard size room was larger than expected. Hotel is like a boutique hotel. Front desk staff incredibly attentive and helpful. Would stay here every time we are in Cork. Best hotel we stayed at while traveling in Ireland.
Less than 10 minutes walk to Cork City centre. Free onsite parking. Clean, comfortable spacious room, nicely decorated throughout the hotel. Great selection of breakfast, very tasty. Staff very friendly, efficient and thoughtful. As we were checking out we were offered bottles of chilled water for our journey. Great idea.
Incredibly kind family that runs the B&B, had a wonderful time talking to the owner about Ireland and what to do and what to avoid. B&b is in a prime location next to the river and very easy walking distance to anywhere in cork, including the famous market. If your lucky you’ll meet their dog Pablo who is a ball of love!
Met by a friendly member of staff, we stayed two nights here as part of our Road Trip round Ireland. A good location very close to the city centre, but in a quiet residential area, parking at the Guesthouse.
Great spotless room with a nice en-suite.
BEST breakfast of the whole Road Trip.
The amenities were excellent and the location excellent for easy walks to many historical and cultural sites within Cork City. This was our fifth stay at this hotel. We highly recommend it for those looking for a centrally located hotel with great amenities at a reasonable price.
Our stay at The Metropole was absolutely perfect! It is a beautiful hotel. Excellent location, we were able to walk around Cork city easily. The beds were amazing. All staff were very friendly. We would definitely stay here again.
Hotel with a historical flair. Excellent location in walking distance to the train station as well as the city centre. Our room was a bit hidden away from the elevators but we had a nice view on the river in exchange.
The hotel is in a superb position for Cork City Centre especially during the Jazz Weekend. The facilities are great, staff really friendly and professional. Would highly recommend a stay here.
The hotel is very comfortable, friendly staff.
Close to city centre
Breakfast was plentiful.
The restaurant were helpful on the first night, allowing us to order at 8.50. The food as lovely
Good location, walk distance from Cork city centre. Parking is available at the train station opposite the hotel, it was 9 euros a day I think. Clean room with comfortable beds.
The hotel is in great location, easy access by walking to the bus station, train station and the stop for where the bus arrives from Dublin. Very close to the city centre.
Classy hotel with great tradition and local character. Location perfect for Cork City Centre. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Friendly staff. Great breakfast.
