Lovely hotel but noise issues worth mentioning.
Hotel location was great, although major road works are currently ongoing at the front of the hotel and start at 7:30am lasting all day. The bins for all the bars on the street were also all emptied from 5:30am onwards both days we were there, so we experienced a lot of disturbance in terms of noise and for that reason, didn’t get the best sleep. In fairness the hotel does tell you this on their website if you book direct, but when booked through hotels.com, it does not which would have been useful. The hotel itself was lovely, staff great and room clean and spacious

Lovely hotel but noisy
Lovely hotel, room was really hot, had to leave windows open all day. Lots of noise from outside, which the hotel can’t control, we were on the second floor but may be quieter on higher floors. Staff really friendly and helpful, we ate in the Met restaurant a few evenings. Loved Cork but due to the sleep issues wouldn’t stay here again. Such a shame.

Great service
We got in early, so no rooms available at that time. I mentioned I had an interview in a few hours, and wondered if there was a quiet place I could go at the time. The concierge/doorman found a spot just off the reastauant and bar, but was a little loud with the music. He eventually found me a large conference room, and that was right after they rushed to get a room ready so we could check in, which gave me just enough time to iron a shirt. They went out of their way to accommodate. Outstanding service!

The property was very conveniently located to the train station. The front desk was extremely helpful and held our luggage while we explored for the day. We only stayed overnight. Rooms were not air-conditioned, but we were there during unseasonably warm weather.
