National Rowing Centre Tours and Activities

Booked a super double room with a queen bed, when we checked in we were told they only had 1 room left which had 2 twin beds. The room was SO hot when we walked in we had to leave the room for several hours with 2 fans running to even make it tolerable. The manager was so nice & apologetic, he was the only reason we stayed for the night. The water pressure was basically a dribble, would never stay here again.

Superb hotel on all counts. The breakfast buffet was truly memorable, with delicious blood sausages and bangers to go along with eggs and coffee in the morning. The bar area was friendly and convenient, as well as the hotel restaurant. The hotel is within walking distance (3-5 mins.) of the bus station that can take one to the Dublin Airport (Lufthansa canceled my direct flight from Frankfurt to Cork, so I had to fly to Dublin instead, wherein I took a 3:30 hr. bus to Cork). It is also within walking distance of the Grand Parade, a vibrant cultural and historical center where there are multiple restaurants, pubs, stores, and places to visit. If I return to Cork, I will return to this hotel again, for sure.

Everything was great except the room service said it served until 9:30pm. I called at 9:15pm and they said it was too late.
