The River Lee Hotel

The River Lee Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was beautiful! We stayed here for one one night in Cork but the staff was outstanding. Our room wasn’t quite ready when we arrived. Concierge kept our luggage and we received a free drink voucher for the bar and the drinks were phenomenal. Once our room was ready our bags were brought up for us and we were ready to go up. We also were given free waters for the road trip to our next destination. Great location, wonderful spacious bathroom. We loved it here!"
