Hotel berhampiran Dromkeen Wood Forest Walk, Cork

Recently stayed here with my niece. The experience was brilliant from the get go from arriving at reception and greeted by Kevin Nelligan who was very pleasant and friendly. He was very helpful in providing us with the necessary needs when having a toddler stay in the hotel. When went up to the room was a lovely spacious room with a lovely view of the river. The following morning went down for breakfast and were met by the pleasant Chloe Leahy who was very nice and pleasant made it as easy an experience as possible when dining with a toddler

Our room was comfortable. It was a good size, modern decor, and modern bathroom fixtures with a large tiled shower stall. The hotel had 2 elevators. activated by room keys. This hotel chain prefers jars of Body Wash to soap. Not having an iphone, I appreciated using the computer in their business room to do emails. There isn't really a lobby area at the entrance, but the cocktail and bar lounge, connected to a small dining area, serve as sitting areas when waiting for others. We arrived tired from a day of travel so we were delighted to eat in the hotel's dining room for an evening meal rather than go exploring for a restaurant. The prices for evening meals in the hotel cafe were reasonable with a discount offered on 2 and 3 courses. The Bacon and Chicken Salad (15E) I ordered was delicious and dinner size, and desserts like Eton Mess were around 6.75E. During the day, the hotel has a coffee shop (scones 3E) with both indoor and outdoor seating. Could take away the pastries and enjoy them in the room where coffee and tea and kettle were free to use. No bakery shop was nearby. The hotel is within walking distance of the English Market (a bakery counter here) and shopping streets like St. Patrick's Street. For us, it was a good choice for an overnight stay with Insight coach tours.

I was cautious when booking as recent reviews were so bad. However, I took a chance as it was for one night and the location was perfect for me. I had a good experience with this hotel. All the staff I interacted with were friendly and helpful, day and night staff. Great location with cafés, restaurants and entertainment in walking distance. I had a good size room with a large bathroom (with a bath). The decor is dated, but bedroom was spotless, the bed was clean and comfy and felt very safe as the door had a double lock. The bathroom a little ”scruffy”, but no mould or insects and yes, you could hear my ”neighbours” up chatting late in the night. Overall a pleasant experience.

Hotel Issacs Cork City has a good center city location, close to the main sites tourists would like to see and not too far from the bus and train stations. When we were there recently, our room was very spacious, especially by European standards. There were 2 drawbacks to the property I feel visitors should be aware of, however. The first is the parking situation. The hotel has no parking of its own, but rather allows you to park in a church lot that is isn’t particularly close, for a fee. The issue is if you have even the slightest mobility issue, it will be rigorous to get your luggage to the hotel. It’s easily .3 -.4 of a mile away and you have to descend a steep incline and get the luggage down several steps to reach the hotel. Then you have to reverse the process when you leave the hotel. You are entirely on your own to handle this. There is no one on staff to assist you. When you want to enter the parking area to drop or retrieve your car or any forgotten belonging, the gate which guards the parking area is locked and you have to call the hotel to have the gate unlocked remotely. It’s a pain and especially so when the staff is unavailable to answer the phone quickly and open the gate. Right now the road in front of the property is all torn up for repairs, so possibly the situation will Improve when those are done, but that is the permanently designated parking area and there is no ‘set down’ space to leave luggage and go park. It’s enough to make us never under any circumstances return. Additionally, our 3rd floor room was not air conditioned and the sun came in at such an angle that it heated up the room until dark, which was late due to the long daylight hours. The day was only about 65 degrees F, but the room temp was 80+ and never cooled down enough to sleep well. If you visit in the summer, be aware that you will be cooked on the 3rd floor. There was only 1 available room we could have moved into and it was air conditioned, but only had a double bed, which wouldn’t work for us. All in all, we wish we’d stayed elsewhere.

Absolutely perfect location! Nice staff. Rooms are very outdated now & our key card didn’t work on one occasion. The room was also very hot & when having a shower the water took ages to drain & the bath would fill up.

The Dean Cork was absolutely fabulous. It was within walking distance to everything in Cork... great shops, dining, and other points of interest within the city. The room was perfect... the bed was VERY comfortable.... and the hotel was a quick walk from the train station. Check-in/Check-out was a breeze, and the staff at the hotel were friendly and attentive. The hotel itself is luxurious, has great dining on-site, and every amenity imaginable for a relaxing and pampered stay in Cork. If I have the opportunity to be in Cork again... I will definitely stay at 'The Dean'.

Just had my sons wedding at the Address in Cork city. Thank you to the most amazing friendly staff for providing us with a wonderful day. The service, the rooms, and the wedding venue was absolutely fantastic. The atmosphere was lovely not just because of the people but also because of the rich historical vibe and character of the hotel itself. The rooms were spacious, warm and clean. The whole day went like clockwork and everyone who attended the day felt like a wonderful memory was made. I would not hesitate in recommending this hidden jewel of a hotel to anyone wanting to have a special stylish day.

I just want to commend the hotel. We were let down by another hotel and called hoping for a room.. upon arrival with our 3 year old everything was more than expected.. from the play park to the soft play area to the pool it was brilliant.. we were travelling from monaghan and the enjoyment made the trip worth while...would go again no bother

Personnel très sympathique, professionnel et efficace.
