Short walk from centre of Cork. All staff encountered showed great respect and friendliness. Arriving at front desk, everything was superb. There was a store just behind reception for my bicycle, good to know it was secure. Rooms were of good size, safe, fridge, large TV, coffee making facilities and quiet throughout the night. Breakfast was choice of continental or hot breakfast. All good. Overall highly recommended.
