Clayton Hotel Cork City

8/10 Good
"Had booked an early check in and the lady on reception said she will call us when the room was ready but unfortunately never. However the room was ready at just after 2pm so we were ok with this. They tried to charge us 20 euros for this early check in so we did have to advise we didn't get it. They took it off straight away. There was a Travel cot outside the room when we arrived but the room was clean."

"The room was lovely, clean and spacious, the restaurant looked fabulous although I did not use it, not too far to town and only around 20 euros in a taxi. The staff were fantastic with my son who has additional needs."

Imperial Hotel

Imperial Hotel

8/10 Good
"We stayed in the older part of the hotel. The floor was creaky and the armoire rattled loudly when you walked around the room. It was a clean, large room and the mattress was excellent. It was very quiet except for the last night when I was awakened by the sounds of a band and drumming. Popped my earplugs in and went back to sleep. One major issue was that we were unable to change the temperature or the heat/air conditioner setting in the room. We had to ask the front desk to change it 3 times. Our friends stayed in the newer section for more money and their room was much nicer. I think it would have been worth the cost."

"Nice hotel just out of city center. It use to be an old hospital and has much charm. The patio was open for dinner and drinks. The staff were very accommodating when we needed to request a room nearer the elevator. Breakfast included cook to order options and was very delicious. Recommend requesting a room near elevator if its required as not all rooms are accessible without stairs or some steps involved."
