The entire property is just lovely! From the lobby to the courtyard to our rooms, we enjoyed every aspect. The lobby is full of comfortable couches, has a fire burning, and a pianist in the evenings. Delightful! Our room was very comfortable and spacious, and the bed was perfect as far as comfort and quality of linens. Everything was very clean. Turn-down service was a nice touch, as were the snacks provided in our room at arrival. The bathroom was also very spacious and had fabulous water pressure. Parking was very easy and the concierge was very helpful with recommendations as well. It was so nice to have a comfortable spot to rest after a busy day sightseeing and my family enjoyed both the pool and jacuzzi in the evenings.

Situated on the banks of the River Lee, Cork’s city center was originally built on marshes and many of its popular streets are constructed on the former river channels. With a thriving nightlife and a vibrant cultural scene, the Irish Republic’s second biggest city is full of surprises.
Those interested in history should pay a visit to the Cork City Gaol, an old prison transformed into one of the city’s most fascinating attractions, or join the Cork Historic Walking Tours, which have a great opportunity to learn all the city’s secrets.
For those craving more lively entertainment, the city has the famous Cork City Pub Crawl or even more exciting, the Barrack Street Challenge, where participants drink pints of beer in all bars along Barrack Street.
The shopping area is concentrated around the most famous street - St. Patrick Street. For local food specialities like crubeens, tripe and drisheen, browse bars and restaurants around MacCurtain, Washington and Oliver Plunkett Streets.
When flying to Cork Airport, you’re just a short taxi or bus ride from the lively city centre. Don’t worry about accommodations; Booking.com has plenty from convenient hotels, to cozy guesthouses and bed & breakfasts.

Cork itself does not offer much, but can be a good starting point for the Wild Atlantic Way adventures. IF you are traveling with a car. Traveling by train & public busses does not bring you to the coast etc. The City Gaol is nice to visit, good shopping options including the English market. Skipped the Blarney Castle due to high cost. So next time probably driving with a rental car, but then a stay outside a city is also an option. Very good variety of restaurants.

Great genealogy and family history day was held at the Cork County Archives. Very friendly staff and excellent speakers. I did not know this was an annual event that they held there and I would recommend it to anyone interested in genealogy. It was well attended and I understand it will be repeated next Thursday 18th April such was the demand for seats. I hope to return to the archives for research and to attend their annual family history day.

The city was great.
The city was great. Lots of shops and places to visit nearby. There are many hills so bear in mind if your about travelling. The Old City Goal is up a huge hill so Taxi there and walk back (downhill) Taxis are cheap enough to use but some of them are cheeky with the prices. The weather was good for our stay but remember to take an umbrella as it often rains unexpectedly.

First of all the buses are shocking , waited over an hour at the airport for a bus to cork city and returning found out they only run every hour !!!
But the city is wonderful , every type of shop you would want , lovely walks along the river and the people are so friendly , will definitely be returning!!
Amazing Customer Services, they called me before arriving to the property to offer a taxi service to Cork city centre. Every staff member was super friendly and accommodating.
Room was in better conditions than the picture on the webpage, I will super recommend this hotel for any stay in Cork, area was lovely and quiet.
Breakfast was continental + irish, not one or the other, both things. Amazing and delicious.
This hotel was an ABSOLUTE DUMP FILTHY DIRTY AND RUN DOWN --- Its like something from 1985
The Glossy Photos on Booking.com do not do its justice and its very misleading i wasnt expecting much from this hotel but we did pay €220 for 1 night - This hotel is a great example of RIP off Ireland - Absolute disgrace how this even passes health and safety regulations
Our very first visit to this fabulous hotel, we were met by a very friendly Receptionist, Geraldine. We were made feel very welcome and shown to the lounge area, while we waited to check in. Hotel is in an excellent location, short stroll into city centre. Highly recommend this hotel, as all staff were so helpful and friendly. We will be returning. Thank you.
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.
The public areas were lovely and modern, staff were very attentive and friendly. Location was a great bonus too, less than 10min walk into the city centre. Room was clean and housekeeping changed our towels and bedsheets for our 2nd night when we hung up the sign. We had lunch in the hotel and that was nice too.
Compared to other hotels during our trip around Ireland, this one was like a factory. Plenty of people in every place, cue to the reception. However, it was modern, rooms of reasonable size, clean. Our room had a river view, so very pleasant.
Underground parking, good location.
The family made the stay exceptional. They are warm, generous people. If I return to Cork, I will definitely stay at Redclyffe. Also the location is perfect. There is a beautiful park behind the guest house. A beautiful place to enjoy the splendor of Ireland, especially Cork.
Fabulous hotel in a great location, close to the city centre. Lovely walk into town with lovely pubs and plenty of places to eat. Typical City with lost going on. Breakfast was good and had lots of choice. The room was very clean and comfortable.
Would stay here again !
The hotel has a majestic feel to it and holds some important historical value. Our room was one of the largest we had in Ireland as we traveled around. The location was very convenient to everything we wanted to do. Once we parked, we never needed the car again in Cork.
Our room was on the main floor. Breakfast was good. Nice hot selections, especially the french toast which was delicious. Location was accessible and walking distance to the Cork City Centre and right next to the Cork University College with their beautiful grounds.
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.
Location excellent, rooms tiny but knew that on booking perfect for girly getaway , walking distance from train station. Fabulous cafes and restaurants mins away. Cocktails in hotel fab , walking distance from city centre.
Free parking a bonus. Great location for the airport. Good restaurant choices at reasonable prices for an airport Hotel. Taxi, car or bus needed to reach city centre (about 8km). Rooms above average size.
Great hotel in the bustling area with Cork City. Plenty of restaurants, cafes and pubs within a short walk and easy to be totally content. Would recoommend this hotel to other travelers as well!
Hotel is clean and comfortable, location very good to access Cork city centre and surrounds, staff are excellent and always very welcoming and helpful. Food is very good also.
Breakfast was very good. Hotel overall is cute. Nothing exceptional though. Location is nice just because it’s a 10min walk from city centre. Staff was semi-friendly but okay.
Great facility and location to visit places in the city of Cork. The hotel itself is stunning, with great views overlooking the river Lee. Staff were friendly as well.
