the best hotel on my Ireland trip. friendly staff, clean comfortable room, dining options, good bar and walkable to downtown Cork. One drawback was the car parking. Awkward and congested. Plus the extra fee.

We were very excited for our stay at The River Lee Hotel, but ultimately ended up rather disappointed. Upon check-in, we were told a King room with a view was not available, which was disappointing seeing how far in advance we booked. Plus, we were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. To make up for a room with no view, we were offered access to the Executive's Lounge "offering free food and drinks". We were disheartened when we realized that essentially just meant water, juice, and cold fruit. In addition, once we got to our room, we realized we were given a handicap accessible room, which was not mentioned at check-in. Because of this the bathroom had a very hard to walk on floor and due to the handicap shower, the entire bathroom floor got soaked when one of us showered, which was not ideal. The outlets were also all low to ground due to a handicap room—I had to sit on the floor in between the bed and wall just to dry my hair. This all paired with a view of a wall was a very big let down since we intentionally booked this hotel based on how beautiful it looked and the views it promoted. Additionally, the beds were rather uncomfortable with very flat pillows. The rooms themselves felt extremely outdated in comparison to the design of the rest of the hotel. The restaurant, however, was truly beautiful and the views from it were terrific—so that was definitely an upside.

Top rate front desk staff, updated public areas, great gym/pool/sauna. The Grill Room was wonderful for dinner - food, ambience, and service. Conversely, the breakfast (a la carte) was easily the worst meal we had during our entire trip. Very off brand for the hotel.. One opportunity - offer softer (down/down alternative) pillows as an alternative. Overall - great stay, neighborhood, views

The River Lee Hotel is a short walk to the University College Cork. Also near by, along the Lee River, is Fitzgerald Park and a pedestrian bridge you can take to get to the Cork City Gaol. In the opposite direction, it’s a short walk from the hotel to the English Market. I did not get breakfast at the hotel. There are dozens of coffee shops near the hotel where you can get pastries as well. The hotel restaurant, The Grill Room, is excellent. We had the fillet but the best part of the meal was the desserts. They out did themselves with the desserts. I had peaches and cream and my daughter had sticky toffee pudding. They were marvelous. There is a large underground parking garage that is shared with other facilities. The garage entrance was a bit tricky to find because it is not next the hotel entrance. I had to go to the hotel front desk to get directions to the garage entrance. Once in the garage, you double back until you’re parking near the hotel elevators. When I booked this hotel, I asked for a walk-in shower (aka a shower stall). I emphasized that I did not want a combination shower/tub. What I got was an accessible room, complete with a wheel-chair accessible shower. So, I cannot review what a typical room is like. I can say that our room was quiet and clean.

Lovely hotel. The rooms are clean and comfortable. We were traveling from the states and arrived earlier than our check-in time. The hotel was able to accommodate our request for an earlier check in which was welcome news for two weary travelers. The hotel restaurant was very good. Highly recommend this place.
