"Wonderful Place to Stay"

10.0

Not only was the food fantastic (we had both dinner & breakfast), but also the concierge (Eammon) saved us from driving the Ring of Kerry on a perilous day. Instead he gave us some excellent alternatives along with maps to help us navigate the areas. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

"Wonderful experience"

10.0

We were a group of 13 staying at the Metropole and we couldn't have been looked after better. Rachel looked after the booking and was so helpful with the planning and admin of it all. From the moment we arrived the staff without exception were so helpful and friendly. Thanks so much to Fabian and Nico who ensured that our evening meal was very special. Lorraine at breakfast was superb and gave us all the tips for making the most of a trip to Cork city..A wonderful experience. The location is perfect for a stay in Cork city but it's the wonderful staff that will ensure my return. Highly recommend.

"Great location, nice bar, and that’s it"

6.0

First, the positives: it’s well located. The entrance is nice and so is the bar. Then, the negatives: old overall feeling in hallways and rooms, with old stained carpets. No ac in room, old and noisy shower system . Gym was disorganized and smelled bad. Would not come back.

"We will return."

10.0

Treated so well by Emily on arrival for a family meal. She was friendly, pleasant and great fun. We were given a complimentary drink as we waited for the bar to open. Anna was so helpful in the dining room. She was lovely. We had a delightful meal and an enjoyable experience . The only complaint was our cold French fries which were replaced.

My sixth time of staying & as always the Metropole doesn’t disappoint. My home when in Cork & somewhere that I always recommend to people when discussing their intended trip. For food, drink & service accept no substitute.

"Great experience!"

10.0

Had a wonderful experience at the Metropole! The piano player was great and so relaxing. Emily was so bright and welcoming- she went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. And Thias was so kind and constantly checking in to see if I needed anything. The atmosphere was great all around, 10/10 experience and will be back

"Fantastic Stay at the Metropole Hotel, Cork"

10.0

I had a wonderful stay at the Metropole Hotel in Cork. The rooms were spacious and exceptionally clean, providing a very comfortable environment to relax after a day of sightseeing. Breakfast was a standout feature—fresh, plentiful, and with a great variety to suit all tastes. It was the perfect way to start the day. What really made my stay memorable was the staff. They were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. Their warm hospitality truly enhanced the overall experience. I highly recommend the Metropole Hotel to anyone visiting Cork. Great value, excellent service, and a fantastic location!
