The Metropole Hotel Cork

The hotel was really lovely, great location and staff. The only problem I could find with the hotel was the breakfast, I had a full irish breakfast every morning at a few different times and it was always too dry. I think the hotel must prepare many, keep them under heat lamps and then just add a freshly cooked egg when they are ordered.

Nice historical hotel on one of the main streets. The room was too small, the floor uneven. Basic amenities : drinking water, ironing board. No fridge, no water kettle. Completely overpriced, not at expected standards. Not recommended.

Hotel muito agradável e limpo

原來在Cork的酒店不一定有空調的，夏天入住要有心理準備，酒店地點在市中心來去方便！

We were looking for a halfway point to stay a night on our way from Dublin to Killarney . I would not recommend this hotel or town for a family stopping point. The hotel is a maze of halls that had 1 functioning elevator when we were there. Our room was very small and not air conditioned which I don’t recall seeing when I booked. It’s in a very busy area. The garage associated with the hotel is around the back and not connected in any way to the hotel. Overall no glaring issues, it was clean and a very pretty historic building. Just not ideal for a family.

Pros: *Location! Literally a quick walk across the bridge from bus stop. *Staff was great! Reception was welcoming, accepted our bags early. *Lobby was lovely. Cons: *Rooms did not reflect the lobby. I understand the small size, as it's an historic property. However, basic maintenance has been neglected. Caulking around tub needs attention. Molding around ceiling sloppily done. Heneral grime. Our TV didn't work, upon calling the front desk we found the phone didn't work. The towel bar/dryer in bathroom either didn't work or had no instructions how to operate. The front desk lady offered us a new room for our inconvenience. It appeared to be no better than our current one. Hopefully they will freshen up all areas after tourist season is over, and make the Metropole the sparkling gem like it deserves and one expects from a 4 star hotel.
