Blarney Hotels

I was not happy to discover that they do not have a car park for guests to park their cars. There is a carpark nextdoor but if you wished to park your car there for the night, there would be a charge of thirty euro which I thought was outrageous.

Good central location in cork with easy access to shops restaurants pubs etc but apart from location a little below average for the price. All and all mediocre at best. No Parking which was a complete nightmare, the hotel does have parking but it is first come first served so when we arrived on friday evening there was none available and no on street available eiter. This meant we ended up paying €20 for parking which I wish we had have put towards a nicer hotel room.

Location

Central location Receptionist did not know where Queenstown was (I know it's now Cobh, but it is less than 10 miles away & there is a well publicised Heritage Centre there. More education on tourist info needed

The room was great, really comfortable and modern The staff at the front desk were abrupt and not very welcoming. Need Training!!!!!

I asked for the radio in my room to be fixed and it was fixed by the time I got back that evening which was great. The best facility was the swimming pool - really lovely pool. The lift! doors slow to close. If stairs were available and signposted I'd prefer to use them.

quiet hotel, non invasive staff, good parking, good leisure club

It was a nice stroll from the hotel to the city. I seems now in Ire most 4* Hotels are cutting back and all the guest is left with is functionality, however not even this could be delivered here. A teenage party in one a function room was let continue late into the night, out into the hallways, complete with boy racer stunts in the car park, no sleep. Also typical of these hotels, the traditional Irish breakfast is ruined by these large self-service covered trays with rashers, scrambled? eggs etc, cooked god knows when and dumped into these trays, with the self-digging pleasure left to the "guest". There was a complete lack of any visible manager at all, perhaps they only look in via the web to see occupancy. I noted a little Best Western logo in the bedR, checked not on website, uncool!

Reception staff were lovely. Breakfast food was very nice No spare pillows available in room. No Tea Making facility in room. Staff at breakfast were very un welcoming

access to cork heating in room does not work and can not be fixed

Great place to stay. Little out of the way tho. John was fantasic, but the woman who also worked there seemed to be taxed for time and was little un-understanding.

The leisure centre. The room.It was very old and basic. the chairs were broken, the mattress needed to be changed, the basin´s water was yellw and the shower seemed not to be used in a long time

I think the staff were great, and the en-suite and reception areas were fabulous. Being so close to the city was great, and there was facilities in the nearby village of Douglas i.e. Fuel station, pub, and McDonalds I stayed in the hotel previously, and the room was complete luxury, but we had a room on the forth floor that was no comparison, and as we were smokers, it was extremely annoying to have to pace up and down the three flights of stairs to have a cigarette

Efficient service Fire alarm went off at 2.30am - followed by irritating repeditive sound for the rest of the night. Room too bright from external lighting.
