Isaacs Hotel Cork City

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent experience."

Eviston House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The best staff of all the Ireland hotels (I've stayed in a different place every day for over a week so far). Ger went above and beyond. Hard to find people like him, and Amy and Deborah at the desk were great too (not just very pretty faces! ;) ). I got woken up in the middle of the night by the guest next door or it would have been an excellent stay. I only paid 2e to park in the lot next door, so not a big deal"

Yugo Explore - Lee Point

10/10 Excellent

"This place is a good place to stay and the only critique is the beds are a little bit rough. A €50 mattress topper on Amazon would fix the problem. That’s just my feedback. Each apartment has a private room that’s rented out and each room has its bathroom with a private shower and toilet and sink. The only thing that shared is the kitchen. I would much rather stay in a place at this then stay in a hostel. Overall, I will give it a 4.5 out of five. Just one small area of improvement is the bed."
