    It was a bit tired, and there was no soap in the bathroom nor tissues.

    It is very centrally located.

    Bedroom view was a wall about 2ft away

    Travelling the wild Atlantic way on motorcycles made this hotel an ideal stay. The bedroom was huge and location spot on. A motorcycle garage opposite could also potentially be of great use.

    The bed was a bit hard for me but my husband thought it was fine so it's a personal preference.

    The room was bigger than most with a separate sitting area. The bathroom had a separate bath and a large shower. Every day our room was cleaned, fresh towels and beds made. Lovely views of the river Ilen and Skibbereen heritage centre. Close to the shops and local pubs and restaurants.

    First floor corridor needs updating and decorating. Hotel room quite outdated, floor boards springy, shower door wouldn't close and toilet roll holder loose.

    Great location, staff very friendly and professional. Food and service in the bar excellent.

    Only complaint I can say is the heat in our room was ridiculous. We did put on a fan which was. In the cupboard but it done very little, I suppose our room was at the back,no air. An elderly person would love it or it would be fine in winter, but that's the only thing I can say negative, otherwise lovely hotel. We will be back.

    We got a very big room so we were delighted, I loved the beds very comfy. Food was quite good also.

    WiFi wasn't great in our room but was very good downstairs in the bar/ lounge.

    Spacious room, great bathroom, good bar and restaurant, great breakfast, lovely staff who made us feel very welcome. Very good location, just walk into town. Good free parking behind the hotel. Good location to explore the area from.

    If you are late back at night (after 11.30pm) - it is a bit of a challenge to enter the building as they lock the doors. There is a night porter but we managed to get in by asking other hotel guests in the lobby to open the door for us. The bar is okay and great for a cup of tea and something light to eat but the pint of Guinness is not the best in town.

    Our room was huge! We overlooked the river and the old railway bridge and it was so pretty. The breakfast was superb! I’ve never tasted a nicer poached egg before! Grand hotel vibes with a cozy feel. Great location for exploring west cork

    I like the location with amazing view. The hotel staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast was amazing and they have vegetarian option. We managed to have lunch at the restaurant and I had the salmon and it was amazing. The room was spacious and clean.
