Quaint hotel where Staff are friendly, professional & very welcoming. Large clean comfortable Room and we had a lovely view over looking river. Location is great, right in the Center of town with parking. Dinner was ok but breakfast was way better. Lovely Irish breakfast and again staff were so nice and accommodating.
Could do with a lick of paint here and there, especially on entrance to room. Could do with some sort of net curtain or fly screen on windows. As it was warm we had windows open but being right by the river the flies had an open window to fly in and stay ! Can be loud at night with people entering and leaving hotel.

The hotel was well furnished in a modern style. Our room was large with a very comfortable bed. Good Wi-Fi and lots of free parking on site. It was located in the centre of town adjacent to a river. The breakfast was very good with different options.
Some rooms would have had great views over the river and surrounding countryside. Unfortunately, we were given one which looked out directly onto a rendered wall. We had no view at all. No options were given at the time of me booking.

Wanted to stay outside of larger cities on our trip around the island and Skibbereen was a perfect location and the West Cork Inn fit our requirements perfectly. It's a rustic building with all the modern comforts and the staff and restaurant were wonderful. We felt Skibbereen was a great start with a history that is both fascinating and tragic. A must visit for those that want real incite on Irish history.
Nothing, as far as our group was concerned.

I loved the friendly vibe of the staff, the location on the edge of town, easy to find and free parking. I normally give hotel food a miss as I am usually disappointed, but the food in West Cork Hotel was wonderful and served with a smile. Both breakfast and dinner options had plenty of choice. The room was plenty big for us which included a table and two chairs, the bathroom was lovely and warm with an easy to use shower which was a bonus as I have fought with many a bathroom shower over the years!!
Nothing to dislike

We loved our stay at West Cork. We stayed there our first 2 nights in Ireland. Our room had a balcony where we could look out at the town and the river. Breakfast was so good. Not only was there a cold buffet but we could order off the menu. This was included in the price of our room, which was a reasonable price. The absolute best part was the staff. They were all incredibly nice, but I want to especially mention Csaba at the front desk. He greeted us when we first arrived, and was very helpful. I want to also mention Paul Cheung in the bar. Our first night in Ireland, we were tired and very hungry and didn't want to go anywhere. Paul had dinner brought to us in the bar, and I have to say it was some of the best food we had during our trip. Absolutely delicious! Both of these men as well as the breakfast staff and other staff at the front desk were all very warm yet professional and so kind. Thank you!
Nothing - it was all great!

Spotlessly clean and comfortable hotel. Old style hospitality and ideal location to explore Skibbereen and the area. The staff were friendly and very obliging, especially Alice at the front desk and Sheila at breakfast. Our room (109) was extremely well-appointed and looked like it had been recently renovated. We were sorry to have only been staying for one night and will hopefully be able to come back to the West Cork soon for another stay.

Very friendly staff, hotel is in a beautiful building in a nice setting next to the River Ilen and the old railway bridge. Enjoyed a few lovely pints of Murphy's (thanks Joan!) and some delicious fishcakes in the bar - hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas as well!
View from the room wasn't great (but we did only book a Standard room so that wasn't too surprising), and the beds could have been a bit more comfortable - but for what we paid was very happy.

Hotel is conveniently located within the centre of Skibberean for ease of exploring around the town. The hotel lobby, bar, and restaurant areas are pleasant. Our room was spacious however decor was a bit of a mix match of colours and finishings although a fresh paint in a neutral colour would enhance it greatly. Hotel staff were fantastic and couldn't have been more helpful! Overall the hotel was ample for our needs and reasonable for the rates charged.

Perfect hotel/location to explore West Cork. Wonderful staff, they were so kind and attentive. Thanks Tim for giving us lovely recommendations for our drive to our next location! We'll definitely be back 😁
Only issue was that there was no warm water in our room to take a shower. I think the room was recently renovated(room 109, right over the bridge) Other than that everything was great 😃
