“Good basic accomodation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

It can be difficult to get B&B accommodation in the city with parking so this is a good option if you need to park. However the parking is mostly at the back of Killarney House so there might be a short walk. The place itself is using the word "apartment" in its broadest sense: these are really Victorian converted flats. However they are in very good condition and well maintained.

The only small gripes I would have was that it could have been a little more clean and the door on the freezer was broken which rendered the entire fridge useless (I suspect this building was original rented out to longer term tenants, which explains the poor quality of the fridge) as the temperature was unstable. Otherwise it was fine, quiet and convenient for the city. The free wifi was a boon as many Cork hotels now charge high prices for this, but you will get slightly more luxurious places for only a little more.

Room Tip: Let them know if you don't want a room facing the main road.

“Luxury stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2011 via mobile

My husband and I had booked a studio apartment and were delighted to be offered the large two-floor apartment on arrival. The receptionist was very friendly and said they were nearly full but he was offering us the big apartment. We were delighted with the upgrade - the sitting room, kitchen and upstairs bedroom were of an excellent standard and definitely four-star finish. This is the best accommodation we have ever experienced, even better than five-star hotels in Dublin! Would definitely recommend.

“Bitter taste in mouth”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2011

We stayed here as we have a young baby so wanted self catering accommodation which was close to the city centre

The apartment itself was clean & comfortable. Only issue being the shower which had very low pressure & was very hard to fix to an appropriate temperature. We did inform staff about this but nothing was done. It has a central enough location - about a five minute walk to the city centre which is all a straight road so easy to navigate.

Checkout from the apartment was at 12, we believed it to be 1 so had gone to grab lunch before our homeward journey. Upon our return the cleaners had cleared our room of the few items left (mainly items to feed baby before setting off) & these were in black bin bags at the door. My husband asked was that everything, this was confirmed so he cleared them & we fed baby in the car. Arriving home I was very upset to find an expensive leather jacket which was hanging over one of the chairs in the apartment was not in our possession. When we phoned, the receptionist told us nothing had been handed in but he would get the manager to phone us back in morning. No phone call was received. My husband phoned again & the manager said her staff hadnt handed anything in … We asked if she could speak with them. She said she would get back to us. NO PHONE CALL. My husband phoned again & informed her that the police would have to be informed.

I would have recommended this apartment because its location was handy & the facilities were overall good but I would never recommend anyone stay anywhere where management would not at least investigate such an incident

DISGUSTED!

“Wish all apartments were like this one”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011

Stayed here for a week and it was a pleasure! The lady who checked us in is very friendly and she gave us tea and cookies every day (and some very niece apple pie on arrival). Very friendly and welcoming. The apartment has a front room with everything you need. The bedroom and shower unit are to the back and are very (!) quiet. Slept very good! Mattress is good..and the place is clean. Within walking distance to the city center and UCC. Will I come back next year.....for sure. Extremely friendly people! Thank you for a very pleasant stay!

Room Tip: I had apartment 4-4...

“Fabulous”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2011

We stayed here recently for one night. The lady who checked us in was so welcoming, she even gave us some freshly baked scones which were still warm! lovely. The apartment which we got was at the back of the building so was very private, It had french doors opening out onto the car park which was extremely handy for bringing in and out our bags etc. The living area was modern and comfortable. Sitting area and kitchen were on the ground floor, there was a beautiful staircase leading up to the bedroom which was on the first floor, and the bathroom was off the bedroom. We were very impressed with the apartment and will definitely be back to stay again.
