    Central Location, close to everywhere, including the train station

    • Room #1184372501
    • Stayed 2 nights

    It's a little tired and could do with a small face lift. Needs a couple of lamps in the sitting room, as there was only main headlight which is too bright to sit in during the evening.(We brought the one small bedside lamp into the sitting room for the evening). It would be helpful to be given some accurate information on parking facilities ie location, cost, timings etc, as we had to drive around a bit to figure it out. Was easy once we figured it out, but would've been a nice touch to have been given that info by the host. The cost for the 2 nights in September was pretty high in our opinion (€300!), although it was clear to see there were lots of tourists around and the town was busy, with a good atmosphere.

    Undoubtedly, the best thing about this apartment is it's location. Right in the center of Cobh close to everything, with good views looking over the sea. It has all the facilities you would need re kitchen etc. However, the crockery, utensils etc were haphazard, which is a simple & easy fix for the host. (only 1 small wine glass, so had to go and buy 2!). Had a fridge & separate freezer which would be helpful for those staying longer than a weekend. Also a full oven as well as a microwave.

    Toiletries left over from previous person, towel hanging in bathroom that seemed used. So not sure if bedding was changed from previous visitor. No tv, no Wifi, no private parking - but parking in that part of Cobh is very difficult - payed parking a small distance from apartment.

    Good location. In the central part of town. Seaview from front windows.

    Since I couldn't reach the owner, I called customer service. Customer service reached the owner. The owner told me to cancel my stay and that he would refund the fee. I sent a request to cancel the stay. He didn't approve and since I didn't stay, my fee wasn't refunded!!! I was scammed and I will start legal processes against both @booking.com and this apartment owner

    The place wasn't clean at all. Used towels in the bathroom. The room was filty. The bed sheets looked like they had blood on them and we had to take them off. There was a cup of water on the window and an open can of tuna in the drawer, which explained the smell. They left their washing in the machine. The person running the place made out that we didn't show up on this app and didn't meet us when we rang and complained about the mess of the place. He said said he would refund some of the money but never did. Without a doubt, the worst stay we ever had. Stay away.

    Everything. There wasn’t any communication in regard to how to get into the property. There wasn’t any parking as it was described with parking. There wasn’t any hot water in the bathroom. The rooms stunk of smoke and there was an ashtray in the kitchen. The smoke detector in the apartment was broken and the one downstairs continually buzzed. The entrance to the property smelt of stale urine

    Not much

    the entrance to the property, looks very run down with rubbish via the letterbox on he floor and a bed matress against the wall, it doesnt give you a welcoming feeling, the stairs to the appartment are poorly lit and again are not very welcoming. the apartment itself has what you need, bed, bathroom and kitchen. if like us you book at the last minute, arrive late stay for 1 night and leave early it will do but if you are staying longer id go elsewhere to be honest. the double bed is small and tight against the wall, i moved it away from the wall for access to the other side only to see, a used plaster, hair bobins and what looked to me like filters from cigarettes (i think im not a smoker) and a lot of gathered dust, i quickly moved it back, there was a bag of rubbish still by the bin in the kitchen, i can only assume from the last people to stay there, that had not been taken away. the location is the winner and if a bit of attention went into this property then it would also be a winner but in its current condition its not. location 10 out of 10 property 3 out of 10

    location 10 out of 10 right in the middle of Cobh close to everything really really good.

    Really disappointed. This was a new property on Booking.com. But it was like a student flat from 30 years ago. The flat isn't up to even the basic standard we've come to expect from a holiday rental (and we have stayed in many holiday homes over the years). It needs more attention. Due to the smell of paint (which caused a headache and breathing difficulties) we only stayed for one night instead of the three we had booked.  Also, the Booking.com information stated that parking is available at the property - one of the reasons we booked it. This isn't the case. Street parking was very busy when we arrived.  Also, access to the property is on a steep lane, blocked to cars at the lower end.  We would not recommend.
