"I would really call this a “budget hotel” it was quite expensive even when booking in the off season and in advance. A standard hotel in the city centre that was easily walkable from the train/bus stations within walkable access to UCC as well. My biggest gripe was that the windows couldn’t be opened (even though it said fresh air was flowing in) and that the hotel was right near construction. But with the limited options in Cork this was a decent place."
