Talbot Hotel Cork

A large modern hotel with lots of facilities. All the public rooms were modern and well furnished. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Our bedroom was large, well decorated, immaculately clean and comfortable. The breakfast offering was very good and had lots of variety. We ate in the hotel restaurant on 2 evenings and had two very good meals. The hotel is located about 10 Kms from Cork City Centre. Tip - If you don’t want the hassle of driving to and parking in the city centre there’s a frequent bus (220)passes and stops close to the hotel.

The room was spotless clean, loads of parking, room was perfectly located for husband as he was on crutches so close to lift and on a lower floor. Plenty of sockets and mirror in the right place - a lot of places get these simple things so wrong. :) The bar and reception area were lovely, nice touch with the jug of iced water & lemon with plenty of glasses in reception to help yourself from as the day was so hot! The breakfast was lovely too and the staff didn't rush us out at the end of breakfast time - much appreciated.

The property looks even better in person, with a huge parking space and a 10 min drive from Cork’s airport. The room, even thought it was in the basement with no view, was spacious and gorgeous. I just loved the interior design. The cleanliness of the room could be better . We found spider nets in the corners of the room, the tissue box was almost empty and the diffuser in the room was empty. The restaurant was really beautiful and the food really good with decent prices. The stuff is friendly and ready to help . The breakfast had all the basics you need and more .Although if you book late breakfast ( meaning 30 min before the closing) you may not found everything ,as they don’t always refill the food station . Like the pancakes for example. The breakfast room is extremely beautiful with a view of the nearby fields ! Overall it was a good experience.

I’d been to the hotel before but never stayed, very clean but cosy, really nice place! I had booked a double room but my partner secretly contacted the hotel to upgrade our room as a surprise so we ended up staying in a Suite!! Our room was incredible, I cried when I walked in. The bedroom was stunning, had a tv that rose up OUT OF the bedframe?? Class. (Had to plug my laptop into the side as it wasn’t a smart tv but you’ll survive like) The bathroom was bigger than my own bedroom at home, had underfloor heating, a stunning free-standing bath, a double shower (I was bawling at this point) and a double sink… we had a living room and dining room which we definitely didn’t need but we felt like royalty!! We used the leisure centre too and had a ball in the pool (bring a swimming hat! They’re €4 to buy there but if you have one just easier!) Big shoutout the the lovely girl on reception on the day (my partner can’t remember her name), dark hair in a ponytail with glasses. She seemed really excited and happy to help my partner surprising me with the room upgrade and when she realised there was a mixup with the room and that the one we were meant to get didn’t have a bath that we had requested, she upgraded us again to the suite we got!!

Very clean staff very friendly nice bar
