Hotels With breakfast in County Cork, Ireland

We stated for one night over the bankholiday weekend. Plenty of parking and a short stroll to the beach. Checkin was extremely quick. We had dinner and drinks downstairs in the lighthouse bar the food was exceptional and the service was fantastic. We used the pool and the outdoor hot tub which was lovely as pool itself seemed a little cold. We had a room on the 4th floor with a lovely little balcony which was unexpected that looked out over the car park and beyond. The bed was lovely and comfortable, the room is decorated with dark features including black paint but this showed up the evidently dusty areas of the room especially the radiator cover, while there was also heavy staining and debris on the carpet by the entryway and the water in the pre filled glass bottle tasted as if it had been there for days. The bathroom is lovely and similarly decorated however the existing low bathtub could be replaced with a lovely walk-in shower. We weren't told at checkin about any works going on in the hotel but we had our thoughts that there was because as we reached our room you could see dusty footprints emerging from a door directly opposite ours which was not a room this was confirmed the following morning when we were woken before 9 with drilling and sawing that was happening in the hallway. The guest directory said there was free WiFi but all networks were locked and no password to be found in the usual places like the back of the key card pack or the TV etc. We weren't asked on checkout how our stay was, just took our room number and said that's OK have a good day bye, seemed a little hurried even though there was nobody waiting behind us. Overall nice stay, top quality food and service downstairs but slightly better attention to detail in servicing rooms/ housekeeping and notice of possible works going on needed.

The hotel was expensive for the night as there was no breakfast included. I also then had to pay for parking, which should be included as it was expensive to stay with no breakfast included. Staff had assigned a parking space for me, and on my return from a family funeral, my space was gone. I parked in another space and when I informed the staff they asked me to move my car to another space. I declined. I had paid for my space, and it was gone on my return. Staff seemed to know nothing of what was going on in parking spaces. Disappointing experience. I would always stay at the commodore but will probably seek somewhere else going forward.

Overall, it was fine. I had planned to stay in another much fancier hotel nearby, but ended up staying here as I had an issue with my credit card. Hotel is clean, safe, and quiet. Located very close to the centre of the city. Our room had a view of the river. If you try and check in before 15:00, then you need to pay €15 extra. This is absolutely insane. This also led to a huge queue of people waiting to check in, so we had to wait from 14:40 to 15:15 before checking in. No bottled water provided in the room, but don't worry because you can buy it from the vending machine downstairs. Only €3 for 500 ml! 😂 No toothbrushes provided either which is probably a government rule, but come on, they can be recycled. I guarantee you half of the people forget to bring one and go somewhere nearby to buy one anyways. I called reception twice around 09:45 to get new towels and nobody answered. You get what you pay for I guess. It was fine, but I won't stay there again.

Our stay was overall a pleasant stay. The ladies at reception very polite and helpful. The television in our room was broken and within 10 minutes of alerting staff we were moved to another room where the television was working. The concierge went out in awful weather conditions and collected a Chinese takeaway for us. Nothing was too much effort.

Absolutely brilliant hotel. Staff were nothing next to amazing, especially John (guest relations). Every hotel should have a John. Brilliant. Bar staff again brilliant. Food was amazing. And nothing was ever a problem. Hated checking out. Adrienne

Booked a room with a double and single bed and we also asked for a walk in shower as my wife had recently had k ee surgery. We arrived early to drop off our bags a d partake in the breakfast on offer but we were met at reception with a very frosty lady who said that our request fir a walk in shower would probably not be met and suggested as we had not.booked direct with the hotel but through a agent we may be better looking for another hotel. I suggest this member of staff needs customer servi e training. As we had already paid up front we said we would stay. When we came back later that day we were given a disabled room with one small double bed. The bath looked like it had a cigarette burn on the bottom. During our 3 night stay our room was only checked once we had to ask reception for more milk.

Clean ,comfortable, enjoyable !! I will stay again and the hotel is clean , the bed is very comfortable , the room is quite big. The breakfast is very great and they provide good service when ur drink and food are cold, the waitress is very kind and care you a lot, she reminded I get the hotter food and refill the hotter coffee for me !!

Absolutely beautiful hotel Sharon the hostess is Absolutely amazing she's very efficient so is thr other lady but I don't know her ne nothing is to much trouble for these ladies they work so hard the other lady is around Sharon's age and her and Sharon are always running around working and asking if everything is okay they are a credit to your hotel and thank you to all the people who work behind the scenes the chef and the domestics making sure everything is clean and tidy all these people are the backbone of the hotel

As we were staying for one night only we weren't TOO fussy. We got a family room which was also kitted out for wheelchair user. Our view was of a tall, solid concrete wall. Friends stayed in a bright, sunny room looking out over the harbour.. Choose your room carefully if you are staying for a while and like a pleasant view. Breakfast was just okay. I had poached eggs on avocado, peanut rayu and sourdough. Felt it had too many flavours. Would like to have seen some simple breakfast options on the menu. Several dishes served with hollandaise sauce. I also noticed a few flies hovering around the food area. Would not rush to stay there again even though location was fabulous looking out over the harbour.

The hotel was okay overall, but there were a few things that could definitely be better. Water bottles weren’t given every day—you only get them if you ask, which felt a bit inconvenient. It’s something you expect to be taken care of without having to remind them. The internet in the room was quite slow. It worked, but not great—good enough for checking messages, but not reliable if you need to do work or stream anything. On the bright side, the lobby looked really nice—clean, modern, and a good place to sit and relax for a bit. In short, it’s not a bad place, but a few small improvements could make the stay much more comfortable. Swimming pool service was good.
