Hotel Isaacs Cork City

We loved visiting Cork and the Blarney Castle. Isaac’s Hotel is a relaxing perfect hotel to accommodate our family of 5. We only wish we could stay longer. Lovely Irish breakfast.

We had a great stay in the heart of the Victorian Quarter. MacCurtain Street is a fantastic, lively area that’s ideally placed. It’s a short walk to the city centre and a short walk in the other direction to Bell’s Field gives you great city views. The hotel is cool and well looked after. Cask bar is great for drinks - a shame Greenes Restaurant was closed for renovations.

The hotel was wonderfully located in city center and was easy to find and navigate to and from. Parking was a challenge - although they have a parking area, it is up a very steep hill and requires calling from your cell phone to access the lot (this didn’t work for me as my US phone wouldn’t make calls, so they did provide a remote for me to use). It was unpleasant getting luggage to and from the car but we do understand how parking can be challenging in a large city so it was nice to at least have a secure place to park! The staff was friendly but seemed fairly businesslike and not very warm or overly helpful when we requested simple things, for example - when we asked for ice they said no, sorry, and then directed us to the restaurant across the way who gave us a glass with 5 or 6 ice cubes in it. There was also no hair dryer and not many outlets in the room, and the fan was bolted to a table on the opposite side of the room, far away from where you would get any relief from it. Overall the room was clean and comfortable, and the location was great so we would stay again but be prepared to not have access to easy amenities.

I stayed for three nights in a comfortable double room. Only one complaint that was outside the hotel’s control which was some late night hammering from an adjoining building. Otherwise the room was quiet. The music from the courtyard below could be heard in the bathroom but not in the bedroom. A problem with my tv was sorted very quickly. Very comfortable bed, much needed after a day of walking. Amazing water pressure made for an invigorating shower. The breakfasts were delicious. The hotel is perfectly situated to explore the city on foot or by bus. ( I didn’t have a car). 20 mins by bus from airport. A half hour bus ride to Blarney. I enjoyed my stay and hope to return.

The Issac was an amazing place to stay. Perfectly located to be on one side of St. Patricks bridge that was hip and quiet, but a 5 minute walk brought you across to the center of everything where you could enjoy all the pubs, shopping and the English Market. The Hotels bar which is next door, is awesome. Great unique cocktails and delicious food. The Bartenders were very friendly and explained their recipes. Highly recommend the hotel

Front desk staff was very helpful. Beautiful grounds with the brick walkways and restaurant/bar options nearby. Bed was comfy and room was clean.

We were only there one night but the apartment was perfect after a long plane ride. There was a washer/dryer machine that really helped us out. The bathroom and shower were really nice with a heated floor. The beds were comfy and we slept a little too long but it was great.
