The staff were friendly and had a good knowledge of the area recommending places to eat etc. We found the Spa well worth a visit - though guests need to pre-book into the Spa - charged at a 50% discount. We opted for room service breakfasts and the first morning it was delicious. However, we had to leave the hotel early the 2nd day and were told we couldn't have a hot breakfast until 7.30am but were offered an alternative 'Continental' - the rubbery 'almost toast' with marmalade, 2 packets of cereal, 1 pot of tea and no butter was a huge disappointment - having had a thoroughly enjoyable stay, it was not the lasting memory we expected!

Quite easy to find but no car park on site. Car park 10 min walk and charge of 6euros. Baggage can be unloaded at front of hotel tho. The restaurant was very pleasent but no real atmosphere, and the food was ok, i returned mine but my husbands was very good. I was dissappointed that what i thought was a swimming pool was in fact only a plunge pool. In our room it was also impossible to actually sit on the toilet squarely because of the towel rail position, room 116.

Excellent genuine 4* hotel in the middle of Cork City. Great clean and comfortable room room, excellent breakfast. Hotel parking is 5 minute walk away but convenient enough. Didn't try restaurant for dinner or spa facilities. Excellent price on this website. Would highly recommend and would not hesitate to stay here again when travelling to Cork.

We cannot recommend this hotel due to the noise from the street outside. We were on the fourth floor (409) which overlooks a side street where loud live music played until 2am making it impossible to sleep even with the window shut. The noise coming from a pub therefore outwith the control of the hotel. Other rooms in the hotel may be okay but would not take the risk in using this hotel again. On the second day we had to request our room to be cleaned which was done immediately, this was at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Had lunch in the brasserie which was no more expensive than the rest of Cork and the quality of the food was very good. The hotel is situated centrally in Cork the airport bus stops outside and with bus and train stations close at hand it is convenient for travellers. Cannot fault the staff who were very friendly and helpful. It is also close to the main shopping area. Having read other reviews regarding the noise we did request a quiet room and if this had been honoured then we could have recommended this hotel.

The Imperial Hotel was a lovely place stay and very convenient to the city centre. Most of the hotel staff were very friendly and more than helpful (with the exception of a couple of miserable and quite rude waiters). The room we had in the Executive Suite was adequate although definitely not memorable, (very narrow with a poor outlook). South's Bar in the hotel was superb and all bar staff were great. I would recommend the hotel on the basis of its location, the fact that its the oldest hotel in Cork and the friendly service we received however E160.00 per night for the so-called "Executive Suite" is expensive and is not good value for money. I would stay in the Imperial Hotel again but only if they were putting on a "Weekend Deal" or something similar.

Hotel reception, bar area etc gorgeous but some corridors and rooms need improvement. One big tip if having breakfast - don't order cooked breakfast until you have eated oyur cereals. Otherwise breakfast comes before you have finished.

Hotel is well-situated but the room was a bit drab and dull. The hotel is a bit old-fashioned and for some reason, the floors appear to be on a slope! Room 128 was situted on the 1st Floor above a pedestrian walkway which was always busy, even at night. From 2am onwards, the pubs empty and the voices echo around the street. From 5.30 am onwards, the delivery trucks arrive unloading what seem like hundreds of beer barrels outside the window. Once they move on the refuse truck arrives and the noise starts all over again. If you stay here bring earplugs. Even with the windows closed, the noise was unbearable.

This is a beautiful hotel and in a fantastic location for exploring Cork city. This did mean that it was quite a busy hotel and therefore I found that it was quite noisy at night. But to give a fair review this was really because we had noisy neighbours and was not really fault of hotel. I would stay here again however request a quiet room as they seem to have a lot of functions in their ballroom which leads to late night noise.

Great hotel in a great city centre location. Close to shops and also many bars and restaurants closeby. I stay here every time i visit cork as the spa is fantastic and access to vitality suite is complimentary when in business/superior room. Free internet access too. Only negatives are that the hotel and the rooms are very warm and there is no air con. Also no mini bar, room service menu limited and not a lot of healthy options, you can only get a 1/4 bottle = 1 lg glass of wine from the room service menu rather than a half/full bottle and the wine list is limited and basic considering the star status of the hotel.

My only real problem is the fact that we had to pay for overnight parking but were not told about it when i asked about parking. instead i was asked for payment details in case of any extra chrages to my room. They obviously knew we would be paying for parking and should have told me straight away. Thats all though..only a minor thing..Good hotel, with good food and excellent location

Hotel was nice in a central location. Food and drink in restaurant and bar was reasonable. Room was comfortable but noise was a big problem. Drunks singing outside room window which overlooked side street at first floor level between 1am and 3am on a Monday. This was followed by a beer delivery lorry between 4.30 and 5.30 dropping beer barrels and rolling them along the street. Then the bottle recycling lorry turned up at 6.00. The noise was really bad all through the night so I would not stay again if faced with thesame room. Hotel staff agreed it was noisy and merely advised that at least we didnt live down the side street like some flat owners do!
