Isaacs Hotel Cork City

Isaacs Hotel Cork City

10/10 Excellent
"I made a last minute booking for the Isaac Hotel and had a fabulous stay - Perfect location in the main street with its own excellent restaurant and very cool bar 'Cask' which is clearly the place to be in Cork for those seeking a cool experience. Isaac is a hotel more traditional Irish which is very inviting and offers a cultural experience in every way. Highlights - super comfortable bed, quiet even though it in a busy exciting part of Cork, glass lift and waterfall court yard as you walk in,,, What set Isaac apart was the expertise and exceptional customer service of the reception staff who organised my sightseeing with attention to detail with care and warmth. Even if you don't stay here make sure you go to Cask and have the salmon crudo on crisp tortillia, Special thanks to the bar staff who made me feel so welcome as a solo female traveller all the way from Australia.. No fridge, coffee machine, high end bath products, gym but perfect to get out and walk to get whatever you want and there is a gym/pool just a few minutes up the road (btw!)"

"The Spa was fantastic. Unfortunately, the weight room and gym was small, smelled of the black rubber floor and was very small. We enjoyed long walks near the property and the use of tennis courts nearby."

Clayton Hotel Cork City

Clayton Hotel Cork City

8/10 Good
"The room was very spacious and felt premium. However, one of the curtains was damaged, and there was a large stain on the carpet. Though this was only minor as they were only slight cosmetic issues. The biggest issue was the air-conditioning as it barely even worked. We actually found it was more cooling to open the window. If you’re booking because their air conditioning I recommend you book elsewhere. Overall, it was really nice, and the restaurant was also great, I recommend you get the chocolate orange pudding. Also, remember to bring a swim cap as they require it at the pool. They do have swim caps for purchase for €4 if you don’t pack one as well."
