    We had a fantastic time here. Room was good sized, bed was comfortable. The accommodation is in the centre of the town. Enjoyed tea, coffee and porridge for breakfast...

    Lovely room and in a magnificent location. The Bookshelf Coffee House with coffee & goodies is 400 meters walk away. It is 5 minutes walk away from saints peter and paul's church🙂

    Nice

    I have stayed at the Imperial around 6 or 7 times over a number of years and the rooms have never been their best feature but I have to say the room I had this time had two windows both of which opened partially and the only thing you could see out of either window was the airconditioning pipes/ they were literally less than a foot form the window and I dont know if it was because this was the first time I had booked the hotel through your site or because I elected to have a smoking room - either way forgetting about the fact that you literally couldnt see daylight out of the room it was unbearably hot - I understand the hotel dont have aircon but it is one of the worst rooms I have staying in at any hotel and I was very disspointed that when I mentioned this in the morning no one seemed interested in what I had to say - I would say I have always reccomended the hotel but I wont be doing that again and I am very unlkely to stay myself - I have usually been with a party who would take a number of rooms in the past and it is a shame but I think it will be Jurys for me in future also I have only ever got a cab from the airport before but I drove this time and the car park is very a good hike away and I would expect a 4 star hotel to have much better rooms but also valet parking given the distance to the car park - very dissapoinitng and I had taken a friend who hadnt been before so I felt even worse

    I have realsied I have compeleted these boxes in the wrong order - the thing I love about the Imperial is the location and the food is always good but the comments I have made above did spoil my trip on this occasion

    Mostly the staff who were so helpful and friendly. Was attending my dauthers wedding everything about the hotel and the day itself could not be any better. And I would never stay there as I only live four miles away so for anyone visiting cork a pleasant surprise awaits. Thank you.

    Initially we were given a room on the first floor which was next to the noisy kitchen extractor (which operates late at night and early mornings), however, the hotel manager provided us with an alternative room which was very comfortable. The staff at the hotel were very pleasant, the room very comfortable and the bathroom had a great shower! Overall we had a great experience and would recommend the Imperial Hotel due to its central location.

    At €119 for a room - the hotel is more expensive than some of it's contemporary peers.

    Location

    Hotel room was supposed to be suite. It certainly was not. Our room phone was not working and ruined our first day. Our night was ruined as room did not have temp thermostat and we ended up roasted alive. There was a fan which was useless! I've traveled all over the world and this experience in Cork Imperial was the worst!
