"Modern, clean, on the river do you can eat good food and drink by it which is a real pleasant way to spend a few hours. Staff friendly, hotel room nice bed firm. Happily stay there again money and time in cork permitting. Cork is a lovely city to walk around. People generally friendly. "

"Staff could not be friendlier. Great music in the bar. Beautiful grounds and view."

"Nice hotel for a former hospital. Shandon is much quieter than being in Cork proper. Overall, great location… Only negative is the parking can be iffy"

"We enjoyed our one night at the Imperial while traveling through Cork! Although the hotel itself is older, it's maintained well and the room itself was gorgeous. We liked how close it was to tons of dining and shopping options -- so once we parked the car, we just walked everywhere. Went to a sushi place for dinner and walked to the English Market in the morning for breakfast before heading off to Blarney Castle (only 25 mins away)."

"Great"

"Hotel was modern, clean and had nice eating and drinking areas. Parking is tricky but we parked in the nearby carpark. Bed very very comfortable and room nice and quiet at night. Delicious breakfast. Highly recommend this hotel. "

"This was hands down our favorite hotel during our 10 day trip around Ireland. We stayed here 3 nights. From check in to check out this hotel and staff wowed us at every turn. We arrived late morning expecting to just drop our bags but they had our room ready which was a great surprise. We went up, showered and headed out for a trip to Middleton. The location of this hotel is convenient to absolutely everything. We had a quick walk over the bridge to grab lunch and our bus. The bus station is so close. The courtyard was absolutely the perfect place to enjoy my morning coffee every day. It is peaceful and quiet. I grabbed a cup of coffee every morning from the bar in the hotel. We even sent our laundry out the day before we checked out and they had it ready for us by 5pm that evening in time to pack up and move on. The room was just wonderful. We had a beautifully laid out room with nice sized and comfortable bed, great closet, huge bathroom by most standards. A wonderful bay window area overlooking the street. We kept our windows (bedroom and bathroom) open during day and night letting the fresh air in. There was also a fan in the room keeping up with the circulation. The lift was quick but we also used the stairs alot. The key card is easily deactivated but the staff at the front desk were quick to fix both times it happened to us. I would absolutely recommend this hotel for anyone staying in Cork and would absolutely book it when we return again. "

"Beautiful hotel with a spectacular view. Maria at the front desk was so lovely. The manager afterwards as well. "

"We enjoyed our stay here; the room was very large and very comfortable, with little touches including coffee, tea and biscuits in the room. We also had dinner at the restaurant and the service was very good and the dinner was delicious. Would definitely recommend this to others travelling to the Cork area."
