Premier Inn Cork City Centre
Hotel and room were beautiful. Location was perfect because you could walk everywhere. Parking is a few blocks away from the hotel in a structure which would have been good to know before but it wasn’t very expensive.

Great hotel with spotless room and great service. There was a large queue at check-in so I was referred to the self service kiosk which was a seamless and extremely efficient alternative. Very impressed!
