Stayed at this hotel many times before. This time we upgraded to a boutique room, which was nice. Very spacious. . Comfortable bed. Nice decor. Quiet. Close to Cork City. Friendly staff.

Bathroom could have done with updating. On first inspection it was lovely, however the grouting in the shower was very stained and the seals around the shower needed redoing

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.

Lovely hotel, very clean in public areas and the room was fantastic.

The young Bar/serving staff seemed uncoordinated and unsure. This seemed to slow service considerably. They could have done with a bar manager delegating tasks so staff wouldn’t be standing around. A retired gentleman next to me in the bar exclaimed dissatisfaction with the fact that the hotel had run out of beamish on Friday night and the hotel didn’t get or have spare stock to be able to serve it on Saturday night. Two women enjoying drinks after a meal were asked to move seats to allow the musician to set up. While the two women didn’t seem to mind, it looked poor to move them like that. It all speaks to the need to have a better managed approach in the bar/restaurant area.

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!!

Nothing, we were devastated leaving.

I’ve stayed here numerous times over the last 3 years and will return again. It’s a great location, not far from the Cork City. There are good restaurants and bars nearby (TradeHouse and Anglers). It’s also not far from Cork airport if you’re flying in. The staff are friendly. I’d booked the most basic room on this visit (as it was just a two night stay), but on arrival, we were upgraded to the Executive Room which was really lovely. Was a good size with the usual tea and coffee making facilities. Plenty of storage for belongings. The waterfall shower was powerful with plenty of hot water. The beds were comfortable and rooms have easy to function heating. The entrance is always decorated beautifully during the Christmas period. Plenty of parking out front with an overflow car park if needed. Thank you Oriel for the upgrade. It was a really lovely surprise for my husband and I.

Great location for access to Cork City and region by car, but also to local restaurants on foot. Generally a clean, comfortable, well appointed hotel with friendly, helpful staff, Bedroom was large and suitably equipped, furniture in good condition. Plentiful range of breakfast foods. Evening meals in the bar pretty ordinary but convenient if we did not feel like going out. All very good with the exception below.

Bathroom hot towel rail did not work (so towels did not dry fully); shower dripped constantly and quite loudly; bath and washbasin taps were very stiff.

Excellent location to the City Center of Cork, and a friend's home.

We had a problem with the smell in the bathroom (room 252). It was sewer gas because I know I had this same problem in my house back home. We informed the front desk, told them we would be out for the day. Came back later in the evening, and was given a key to 256. We were not informed by the front desk if the issue was resolved. I would highly recommend this place if you plan on coming here to visit family, friends or by yourself.

The Talbot Hotel is well-appointed for reaching the airport, which is why we chose it. We stayed the night we arrived and again the night before leaving. Both rooms we had were spacious and clean with good bathrooms. The staff were all kind and friendly. We were able to use the fantastic swimming pool during our second stay. There is plenty of space for swimming, areas for children and 2 kinds of jacuzzi. The bar/bistro serves great pints. The food was nothing special.

The rooms were a bit cold and our second room had a stained carpet.

Just a really nice hotel

I was charged €150 room deposit when I arrived even though I had already paid for the room before arrival? I was told on arrival that it was in the t&Cs but I couldn't find it, not to say it wasn't in the small print. But unbeknownst to the hotel my cousin was also staying and she wasn't charged the €150 ? Not sure what to make of it but it's the 3rd time I've stayed there and first time I was asked, it was a bit embarrassing really I felt it was because of my gender or surname mabey?
