Good stay, recommend parking a little tricky to find and make sure that give you a ticket so it’s €10 euro a night

Nice older hotel. Easy walking to good pubs and restaurants. The window in our room faced a wall and felt a little claustrophobic. The shower was huge with lots of spray options. Breakfast was very good. The parking is very tight.

Situated in an ideal location for exploring all that Cork has to offer, this hotel boasts stunning aesthetics and comfortable rooms. A notable perk is the provision of bottled water in the rooms. While parking is available, navigating the tight turn into the garage, located off an alley, can be challenging. However, once parked, the hotel's convenient proximity to attractions makes exploring on foot effortless. Additionally, the onsite restaurant offers delectable dining options.

Lovely room. A little snug for 2 people but we were hardly in it. Towels were wonderful and the location was ideal. Had dinner in the and it was delicious- the cocktails were amazing! Would recommend- lots of children in the hotel as well and we NEVER heard them! The parking was a little tricky due to traffic but that was our mistake.

Was staying in Cork the night before a hospital procedure to avoid an exceptionally early start from home. Needed a bed, wake up call and taxi. Metropole took care of it all and made the experience so relaxing and smooth. I got a great night’s sleep in a very comfortable bed and arrived downstairs to the pre booked taxi. As I had to attend the hospital fasting the option to book a room without breakfast really suited me. Thanks to the team at the Metropole for making my stay enjoyable and comfortable.

Metropole is in the center of things in Cork. The room we had was small but they did give me a room with a walk in shower that I had arranged prior. It is an older hotel and you can see that it’s gotten a little ruff around the edges but staff do their best to keep it clean and tidy. We ended up getting a rental car and parking was nearly and they validated for a reduced rate. Breakfast was not included. We stayed for a week. A budget friendly hotel.

We enjoyed a very comfortable stay. Nothing lacking. We especially appreciated the thoughtful and attentive staff. One night during our stay we experienced a minor medical emergency: the staff was responsive, helpful and very sympathetic. Everything you would need and want. Happy to recommend this facility - happy to stay here again should our travels bring us back to Cork City!

Nice hotel, well maintained. Construction in area a temporary challenge (right outside of front door). Valet parking available which is nice. Double room we has was hot, window opened but was against a wall. Our second room was larger with double and twin and river view.

Friendly staff greeted us and were happy to explain where to find the parking. Clean facility comfy bed. Overall, even if it was a quick one we super enjoyed our stay. Will stay again if we’re ever in cork again
