All in all everything was great! Staff was very welcoming and helpful. The room was great, however, there was no warm water in the morning and I had to move the espresso maker to get it to work. The hotel is walking distance to restaurants and pubs. The pool and work facility was superb! I would stay here again and recommend this place to everyone.

The staff was unbelievably helpful in everything the hotel was so clean unbelievable The Restaurant and bar food and drinks was as good as they come. We stayed in three other venues while we were too in Ireland and the Riverlea was best by far. We definitely will be returned again in 2026 thank you for letting us stay

Fantastic but all too short business trip. Warm welcome and upgrade from Gloria to fantastic recommendations from Pavida in The Grill ( food is amazing there). Also have an amazing terrace for chilled out afternoon tea or relaxing drink with friends

Had a great stay at the River Lee, room was huge. Great location, easy walk to restaurants and bars. Only issue was a lack of hot water on our last morning, the shower was cold at best. Staff were good though and gave us a discount for our troubles. Would definitely go back.

A superb hotel within 10 mins walk of Cork city centre. The hotel is newly refurbished and to a very high standard. The staff were all very helpful and welcoming. I'd recommend staying here 100? Easy on site parking too.

We really enjoyed our stay here. I asked if we could have a twin room and they contacted me prior to our visit with confirmation.The hotel is in a great spot just outside the city but close enough to everything. We had breakfast one morning which was great a choice of continental (€16) or à la carte (€26). All staff we interacted with were excellent. I would stay here again if I ever find myself in cork.

This is a very nice hotel where I found every staff member extremely professional, efficient, and personable. The bar offers a nice selection of cocktails, wines and beers, and even lunch. I enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the restaurant. There is convenient underground parking with an elevator to the hotel. The front desk staff can validate your parking pass before your departure.

Beautiful property and great location. Welcoming and professional staff at check in. Easy/affordable onsite garage parking at $15 Euro/day. Super clean, updated and quiet. 15 min walk to English Market. Staff was kind to extend our parking after we checked out so we could explore the city center on foot without having to re park off site, this was a huge help! 15 ish minutes to Blarney Castle, shirt walk to shops, eateries and convenience stores.
