"Fabulous hotel - Will return"

10.0

What a fabulous experience. Walked into the lobby and were met by the lovely Eamon - what a gentleman and character. Set the tone for our two day stay - every staff member we encountered met us with a greeting and a smile - A bit well done to Olin in the restaurant - he was under pressure but kept calm and had a smile and a word for each table - very professional and charming young man. You should be so proud of your team. The food was fab and we are planning a return trip. Well done to all and keep up the good work. Mary Clarke

The hotel does show it's age in places (e.g. carpets, decor). But overall, a nice hotel, good service, and the food was excellent.

"Perfect experience at the Metropole."

10.0

The hotel is ideally located, just a 10-minute walk from the train station, which makes it extremely convenient both for business and leisure stays. The place is comfortable, well maintained, and offers excellent services throughout the stay. The staff is welcoming, attentive, and always ready to help, which really makes a difference. Overall, a very pleasant experience with great value for money. I would definitely recommend it.

"Excellent welcome and Service"

10.0

We visited the hotel with our friends from Germany. We wanted a nice location to chat as we were meeting them for a few hours. We met in the Foyer and had coffee and scones. The food was excellent and the staff were superb. We were welcomed and looked after to a very high standard by all the staff. We subsequently remained and had lunch. The food was superb. Service and follow up was the best. Staff offered to take our group photo before we left. We had a great visit with our International guests and The Metropole staff showed a Cead Mile Failte.

"Right in the Heart!"

10.0

Exceptional city hotel, central location, ease of parking. Very friendly and efficient staff. Best breakfast in a while. Very comfortable bed and room was warm, great nights sleep. Bedroom was tight [I'm big!] but everything else about the hotel puts that in the shadow. Ideally located in the heart of Cork City.
