A great place to stay for work or leisure. The rooms are technically well equipped, you can access applications like Netflix on the TV. Good food options and taste. I ordered onion rings, massaman curry and Mac cheese. The massaman curry was absolutely my favorite! There’s also access to the health club but that’s relatively always busy so not as relaxing as one would hope

We enjoyed our stay here! The lobby has been recently renovated and looks gorgeous, while the rooms are a bit dated but had everything we needed for our first night in Ireland. Our room was at the back of the hotel, so it was very quiet, and we slept great. Self-parking was easy, and the on-site restaurants were a big plus—we had a great meal at the River Club when we were too tired to venture out...

My experience at the hotel was excellent thanks to Carmen. She is warm, friendly, and incredibly attentive, always ready to help with a smile. Her professionalism and genuine care made my stay truly enjoyable.

We chose the River Lee as our wedding venue as it was a non-traditional venue based centrally to Cork city. The staff, Deirdre in particular, have been a delight to work with over the last few months. We’d highly recommend it if you are looking for something a little bit different on your wedding day.

I was at a wedding in the River Lee yesterday and everything was just gorgeous from the food to the mirror room where the reception was held. The staff were also fantastic but one member of staff we had the pleasure of dealing with was Katie-Grace at the front desk. She couldn’t have been more helpful and is such a lovely and friendly person.
