    Swimming pool required paperwork and you had to buy a swimming cap. Also the accessibility of the gym was rather limited. Breakfast was good but not remarkable. There is a night shelter across from the hotel which means that there are a lot of 'interesting' characters are there in the evening.

    The hotel and rooms were nice and comfortable. Very simple connection to the airport. The staff was very friendly.

    The shower head needed a rubber washer to stop water leaking out. It was like having a shower under a water pistol

    All the shower head needed was a washer to correct the spray buy most of the water just spilled down the tube snd the shower was ineffective

    Location was fantastic. Breakfast was lovely and staff were so helpful

    Room was dark and when opened curtains you are surrounded by other rooms, very weird. Will have to book a room with external view in future.

    Excellent breakfast , spacious seating areas, nice coffee dock in Hotel and just outside.

    Paid almost 900 euro for 3 nights and still had to pay 12eur0 per night for parking after that. Should have been 14euro but 2 discount as staying in hotel. Should be a better discount in my opinion. Rip off ireland again. Also it had the same menu every night for dinner. What's up these days does no restaurant serve potatoes anymore? Fish and chips or burgers is all we could get. Its all gone so up market everywhere. All other stuff ya wouldn't eat.

    Room was very comfortable

    The dessert we got was really nice but my partner got cheesecake and it came with ice cream, but the ice cream scoop was actually bigger than the slice of cheesecake! I just found it bad for the price we paid for it!

    Our room was located at the side of the building and there were a lot of homeless people underneath, it was not pleasant having the window open because of their noise and terrible language.

    Lovely large comfortable room, very clean, daily towel change, with water, milk tea and biscuits replaced every day, staff all very friendly and helpful, very good breakfast with plenty of choice and it was always hot.

    A nice, still fresh looking, clean hotel in the center of Cork. Good breakfast, nice staff, comfortable rooms, nice bathroom. A parking nearby (however you have to pay for it). Very close to "party" street of Cork.

    I have to commend the supervisor in charge of the Housekeeping crew on Saturday morning 19th July. (Sadly I did not get her name). We arrived on Friday 18th July - that night I really did not sleep well. I chatted to the Housekeeping Supervisor the next morning (19 July) and asked if it was possible to get a new mattress. The one we slept on had 2 big hollows and I kept rolling in to the hollow on my side. It sounds silly, but it was just not comfortable. When we came back later that day our mattress had been changed. I was delighted and wish I could have seen the Housekeeping Supervisor again to thank her profusely. I did mention it at checkout and I hope my thanks were passed on to her. At reception we noticed an umbrella stand. What a clever idea. Pay 3 Euros using your credit card, an umbrella is unlocked, and off you go. Obviously the system on the umbrella stand has our credit card details, so I assume if the umbrella is not returned, your card is charged accordingly. Brilliant service as we had no rain gear with us, so the umbrella really came in handy.

    The Clayton Hotel is our go-to place when in Cork.

    The location of the Clayton Hotel on Lapps Quay is the main thing for us, plus subsidised parking by the hotel. That is really cost effective as we can walk anywhere in the city. Park our car for days and it only costs 12 euro per day. And the cooling system in the hotel worked perfectly.
