"Zeer teleurstellend."

3.0

Het ligt op redelijke loopafstand van het centrum. Parkeren kan op eigen terrein. Het ontbijt was goed verzorgd door vriendelijk personeel.

Super kleine kamer met een heel smal bed. In maar een klein gedeelte van de kamer kon je rechtop staan. Staand douchen ging niet (1,86 m). Op de kamer kan je precies ruiken wat er in de keuken wordt bereid. En de ontbijtruimte stond af en toe blauw van de rook uit de keuken. De kamer was op de tweede verdieping. Je moet er niet aan denken als er ergens daaronder brand zou uitbreken. Er was namelijk maar één weg naar beneden. Kansloos dus…. We zouden hier twee nachten blijven maar besloten na de eerste nacht het daarbij te laten. Dan maar zonde van het geld maar om hier nog een nacht te blijven? Nee, echt niet.

"Nice little hotel for a quick stay."

8.0

It was in a great location and the staff were amazing. Had free parking.

The room was tiny. We were in the top of the building and the roof was slanted. I'm not tall but o kept hitting my head. No elevator so ask for a ground floor if you cant lug a heavy suitcase up the narrow stairs.

Situation proche du centre, parking gratuit, très bon accueil. Petit déjeuner en supplément mais très varié.

Chambres très mal insonorisée, tant pour les bruits intérieur que ceux extérieur. Literie très inconfortable. Salle de bain très petite.

"Adorabile soluzione!"

9.0

Posizione ottima per visitare Cork, in 6/7 minuti a piedi si è in centro.. parcheggio gratuito, anzi, ci hanno permesso di lasciare lì l'auto dopo il check out ( x un paio d' ore) per l' ultima passeggiata a Cork! Noi avevamo una stanza all' ultimo piano, MERAVIGLIOSA! Ambienti molto puliti, colazione ottima con vasta scelta e personale molto disponibile e gentile!

Non è presente un ascensore, per noi non è stato un problema, ma se si hanno molti bagagli potrebbe essere poco comodo..
