Hotels near Nano Nagle Birthplace Apartments & Bungalows in Cork

My sister and I stayed here for three nights recently. First impressions, the hotel is old fashioned but certainly not run down. It is spotless. Our room was small but comfortable and the beds and pillows were soooo nice to sleep on. Food was excellent and reasonable. Staff were so polite and friendly. Robert the bar manager was so helpful and funny. Donna from room service was so lovely to talk to and gave us the history of the hotel and also told us about the nearby castle and the white deer that live on the grounds. Mallow town is lovely . The castle , nearby park, playground and the shops are all within walking distance. The train into Cork city goes every 30 minutes and again is within walking distance from the hotel. The Guinness was the best I’ve ever had and the ceaser salad. I could go on and on because the fish and chips were also amazing. I’ve been to many hotels over the years this is by far my favourite.we shall be back.

Rachel at reception saved our vacation to Cork! Upon arrival to Cork, our airbnb had visible mold and smelled of mildew. Even though the Jury's Inn was fully booked, she helped us try to find a new location. After spending time in your lobby, Rachel rushed out to tell us there was a cancelation! Not only did she help us get a room, she provided complimentary drinks for ”our rough day”. I can't say enough good things about how caring Rachel was through the entire process. Thank you Rachel and Jury's Inn!

Very good location. Small but have everything you need. I stay one day and it’s fine for me.

Nice and kind staff :) Really good breakfast. I had a great time!! Many thanks !!

Hotel is very modern. Room was way too small A/C didn’t work in my room. Location great but train station beside will not let you sleep. Bar in the room , cool idea !

Recently stayed at this hotel as part of a package of 3 bed and breakfasts and 1 dinner. Some positives include the view from the rooms, the comfortable bed and the lunch in the bistro was lovely and good value. Unfortunately the negatives far outweigh these and as a result, we would certainly not return to this hotel. The room needed a refurb...there were cracked, moving tiles on the bathroom floor and there was a large hole in the ceiling over the bath and could see the insulation and dirt etc. The leisure centre - I was the first guest in there one of the morning's and the dressing room shower area and toilet were not clean whatsoever and would turn me off using it. The worst part of our stay was the service in the restaurant and some of the food served. For our dinner as part of the package, we had dinner in the Samphire Restaurant. It was very quiet with approx 9 people having dinner and there was 3 staff waiting, which makes our experience even more disappointing as no excuse for poor service when so quiet. It seemed like it was the manager that took our dinner order and I noticed that he didn't write anything down...maybe he should start as there was plenty of mix ups. Initially one drink was brought to our table and no sign of the second drink...had to ask for it 10 minutes later. On to the main course, I opted for fillet steak (that comes with kale and mushrooms) but I requested onions instead of kale when i ordered it and was told this was no problem at all. Steak arrived with no onions (but had kale and mushrooms). I mentioned it to the waitress and she took my whole plate and said she would add onions. She arrived back 5 mins later, with both the kale and mushrooms gone (i wanted to eat the mushrooms all along) saying that the chef won't keep the steak under the lamp as it will overcook so to eat my meal and they will bring out onions when they're cooked. The man who took my order came over and apologised saying it was his fault over the mix up. I waited and waited for the onions but no sign so I ended up eating my steak with no sides whatsoever...just a few small roast potatoes that came separately. What a let down and a disappointing meal. When I was on my last bite of steak, low and behold, a massive bowl of onions arrived. Awful service for an almost empty restaurant. Other negatives were the eggs benedict for breakfast...eggs were very undercooked with gloopy white of egg turning me off it. We also found that there was a taste of coffee from the tea so cups needed better washing. Would not return.

Hotel Issacs Cork City has a good center city location, close to the main sites tourists would like to see and not too far from the bus and train stations. When we were there recently, our room was very spacious, especially by European standards. There were 2 drawbacks to the property I feel visitors should be aware of, however. The first is the parking situation. The hotel has no parking of its own, but rather allows you to park in a church lot that is isn’t particularly close, for a fee. The issue is if you have even the slightest mobility issue, it will be rigorous to get your luggage to the hotel. It’s easily .3 -.4 of a mile away and you have to descend a steep incline and get the luggage down several steps to reach the hotel. Then you have to reverse the process when you leave the hotel. You are entirely on your own to handle this. There is no one on staff to assist you. When you want to enter the parking area to drop or retrieve your car or any forgotten belonging, the gate which guards the parking area is locked and you have to call the hotel to have the gate unlocked remotely. It’s a pain and especially so when the staff is unavailable to answer the phone quickly and open the gate. Right now the road in front of the property is all torn up for repairs, so possibly the situation will Improve when those are done, but that is the permanently designated parking area and there is no ‘set down’ space to leave luggage and go park. It’s enough to make us never under any circumstances return. Additionally, our 3rd floor room was not air conditioned and the sun came in at such an angle that it heated up the room until dark, which was late due to the long daylight hours. The day was only about 65 degrees F, but the room temp was 80+ and never cooled down enough to sleep well. If you visit in the summer, be aware that you will be cooked on the 3rd floor. There was only 1 available room we could have moved into and it was air conditioned, but only had a double bed, which wouldn’t work for us. All in all, we wish we’d stayed elsewhere.

This hotel has history, and it stands out among hotels in its price range. Every detail has been carefully curated, and it's possible to feel that you are in a grand hotel in a grand city. One of us uses a cane and has visible trouble walking. On check-in, it was probably too late to move us to a room that does not require navigating stairs. However, in the breakfast room, we were given a table down several steps, even though there were at least a dozen free tables on the floor level. Again, this area is beautifully decorated, including a round table with attractive and impractical boxed supports that make it impossible to sit comfortably. Each hotel has to work out how to serve breakfast economically while providing an excellent experience for the guests. The ”bird cage” high tea type assortment used at the Imperial must mean they discard items that guests have not selected. Although this property would be among the first we'd consider on a return visit, we would not choose the breakfast option.

Very friendly, professional and efficient staff.

Convenient transportation, close to the city center, high cost performance, early check-in. The service is very enthusiastic, and I also take the initiative to provide Cork maps to customers and give a general explanation.
