"Nice hotel just out of city center. It use to be an old hospital and has much charm. The patio was open for dinner and drinks. The staff were very accommodating when we needed to request a room nearer the elevator. Breakfast included cook to order options and was very delicious. Recommend requesting a room near elevator if its required as not all rooms are accessible without stairs or some steps involved."

"Amazing! We had 2 nights here and used The Kingston as our pamper day after a couple weeks travelling around Ireland. The Spa experience is a must ... fabulous! Room, restaurant, the hotel were all great. It's right on the river so I used a complimentary pushbike and did a river ride. Fully recommend!"

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."
