We stayed at the River Lee for two nights on a road trip around Ireland. Overall we were very impressed. It's in a good location, the rooms are large and modern and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Fantastic breakfast provided in the mornings. We also used the pool, which was lovely and in good condition.

We are on a tour (24 in the group) and this hotel was chosen for us. I have to apologize to the maid for totally forgetting to leave a tip when we hurriedly left yesterday . I AM SO SORRY! The hotel is OK but I didn't feel it very Irish. The hotel staff was nice but seemed more intent... More

We stayed here on a CIE tour. The hotel is very modern and overlooks the river. We had a very nice view of the river. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from town center. We would stay here again.

We stayed here for three nights in May 2013, in one of the superior rooms on the 5th floor, this also gave us access to the executive room where there was complementary hot/cold drinks, fruit, scones, cakes and biscuits etc., throughout the day. The bedroom was spacious and very clean and had both power shower and a bath, the bed... More

Great new hotel, nice location with river view. Big clean rooms, good food. I'm staying right now for business, and only have one minor complaint. The hotel seem to have 4-8 rooms without a view. And even though I'm staying for five nights, and I'm a platinum member of their loyalty program, with allready 22 nights this year, they chose... More

The food in this hotel is just fabulous and every time very well presented and very tasty. Have been there a few times and all of their staff are trained to very high standards and they all seem to love their job. Definitely the best place for first class food in Cork City….
