The Dean Cork
"Great place for young couples on city break or mingling professionals. Wouldn’t recommend to older couples or to families. Lounge is a good vibe though table service could be more attentive. Beds are a bit soft for my liking personally. Showers are amazing!"

Maldron Hotel Shandon Cork
"While the location is good for city centre, the lack of air conditioning in the bedroom was a disaster. The day itself was not even a hot summers day, but the room was so hot, we couldn't sleep. The room had a fan, but it just didn't do much for lowering the temperature"

The Post House
"There is a parking lot around the corner which is helpful in a really busy town. The unit itself is a bit worn and tired but handles basic needs. The shower is very unique and there were no instructions as to how to turn it on. The owner let us know once we reached him. The shower itself is poor. ..."
