I went for breakfast as I had heard from friends it was a lovely place and they weren’t wrong. I was served by a girl named Kellie and she was brilliant very welcoming and kind. Will definitely be going back!

As always you cannot beat a Doyle Collection hotel, friendly staff and the quality and service is always exceptional and consistent. We were going to an event in the Cork Opera House, The River Lee is really handy and convenient to walk to it.

We had to book in last minute due to a family emergency and this hotel was exceptional to us. Personally want to thank Denis for all his help and patience throughout our stay! He made a very positive impact during a very tough time. Rooms are very comfortable and clean! And food was delicious! Got room service both nights.

The rooms were clean and well-kept. The bay window was a unique design and added to the aesthetic. Wonderful service from all of the hotel staff, and they were all very friendly. I will definitely be staying again when returning to Cork.
