Imperial Hotel
Limited spaces in pool area so couldn’t use them. Waited over 50 minutes for breakfast, they hadn’t put our order in, very surprised they didn’t ask why were sitting there for so long. Breakfast was ok! Not the best we’d had. I did complain at reception as the delay resulted in a late check out. ...

Premier Inn Cork City Centre
Great location although there is significant construction and I specifically booked this hotel for the parking and the parking is an approximately 10 minute walk from the hotel. The hotel could have been a lot cleaner, too.
