The River Lee Hotel

The River Lee Hotel

8/10 Good
"Great hotel, lovely staff. Car parking is €15 per day if you notify reception, not €3 per hour, which is what the signage says. While we were there the lift from the car park to the hotel didn’t work. The gym door in the car park says no access to the hotel, but this isn’t true their lift only seems to go to the first floor, but the stairs take you to the ground floor. For breakfast everything is available gluten free, you just have to ask. The room was great, but that’s what you pay for."

"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."
