The building is older but the place has been updated. It was a very nice kitchen and well stocked for preparing your own meals. 100m from the train station which was handy.

I doubt that many would view this place as a hotel, more of a HMO. People clearly living here rather than as a hotel. We had room 11, which was right by the front door, which opened until around 2am, and then again from 6am. Right next to the DIY dining room. People cooking at 10pm and the smell coming into our room. The bathroom smell was hideous, and had very clearly had a damp issue. Tiles coming up from the floor, rubbish in the corners, shower door hanging off. The whole place was full of dust, and dirty with hairs. Stains on walls, like poo, and foot and handprints. Only one plug socket in the room and it was dangerous and hanging off the wall. Wifi didn't work. Unfortunately because we arrived so late we didnt have any luck finding somewhere else to stay. The bunk beds were creaky, and there were a couple of screws on the floor beneath it. The bedding didn't fit the beds correctly and kept coming off. We've all been itching. Hot damp sweaty room, couldn't open the window due to location, and no fan provided. Didn't use the kitchen as the sink was full of pots and pans, fridge full of food shopping. Just felt depressing and unsafe, and definitely would not recommend to anyone.

Checkin was easy enough. Building is old and floors and slanted. There is no elevator. Rooms are small and quite tight to move around in. It’s nice they have a kettle due instant coffee, sugar and creamers, and tea with ceramic mugs. Shower seems updated which was good otherwise. Unfortunately the WiFi did not work at all even though they tried fixing it. Saw the network but no internet was available. Which was a big problem since we’re visiting out of country and need it whenever we’re staying at a place to do research and such and a key factor when booking a stay. It was also stuffy in the unit. When leaving the window open, it was even louder with the outside traffic noises. You’re right at the main road. Unfortunately we did not know this.

Check in instructions were given in advance, which were clear. The room itself was on the small side, no tea or coffee making facilities but there were toiletries. Lots of fluffy towels were provided but only one hanger. The lady at the check in desk was helpful, informing me the on street parking was free overnight til 10:30am. Shame about the fire alarm which woke everyone up at 11:30pm, due to a shower with no fan on.

Would not advice a stay in the Shamrock , had to go up 3 flights of steps up to the room 36 steps. A kip . The kitchen was manky . Would not feel comfortable. Tg it was only 2 nights. I would rather sleep on the street. Never again.

Handy for central Cork. Staff helpful.

There is nothing good to say about this property! If you have a physical disability avoid it at all cost. There is no lift. The stairs are uneven as well as the floors itself.

Not the ritz but clean and staff lovely

Get what you pay for but kitchen was unusable as sink was full of dirty items, nobody was around either.

It was good prepare for noisy roomies but it was good for short term stay and definitely same day because they perfectly accommodating

Great location, really nice staff, beds not super comfy- but for the price a great stay overall. Would stay again!

It was a decent place to stay — great shower

No not adequate, very noisy during the night. People banging on front door during the night until someone answered the door. Room very very small. No hot water in shower both mornings. Attempt to take money out of my account 3 times even though it said pay at property. Even when i did pay at property as it said on expedia , 2 further attempts were make to take money again?????? Very unsatisfactory.

Room was spotlessly clean, as was bathroom. Kitchen was not as clean and not clearly identifiable which tea/coffee/milk was for guests. Bed very comfortable. Great for short stay.

DO NOT BOOK HERE , Tried charging my bank account 3 times after my stay and already paying at the property

.

Facilities were clean and stylish. Recepitonist didnt know how to check us in or take payment. Room was noisy until midday and then again 5am.

Walls so thin you could hear the next room whispering, it was cheap but not cheap enough

Noisy, no hot water, no tea, no reception staff hardly on duty. Awful, over priced for what it is. Avoid!
