    The continental breakfast area was meh. Not a huge selection. The toaster was set to a specific setting by staff, with a sign to not change setting. I’m not sure why, considering this setting was burning all the toast, and everyone was leaving the toast, because it only burned it.

    Loved being right on the harbor! Our rooms windows (we had interconnecting rooms) opened right over the water! Close to main attractions, center

    The room was a little bright from the street lights outside.

    Great location, by the Heritage Centre. Free parking. Fabulous breakfast room looking across the harbour. And Cobh is a fabulous location.

    Doesn't appear to be level access, not from the front anyway and their is no lift that I could see.

    Premises gives a sense of having been recently refurbished and is clean and bright throughout. Stairs rises reasonably gently.

    This was an amazing property. Had a room with water views. Great vibes. The restaurant had amazing food. I had the hake, husband had fish and chips. Both were just amazing. Loved the atmosphere around in Cobh.

    Bathroom ceiling needs attention. Otherwise everything perfect

    Close to the train station (2 mins walk) and main street (5mins walk). The room was lovely, very spacious with large windows giving a great view of the port/river/bay.

    There were no faults with this hotel in my view , location, rooms , food , service and staff all excellent.

    Absolutely amazing location , beautiful room with French door’s safely opening to the open sea to give the feeling of being on a balcony of a cruise liner . Great food and extensive breakfast menu

    I appreciate that we stayed out of season (February) but the staff performance could've been a bit better. A couple of examples being getting the cooked breakfast order wrong (it wasn't written down by the waiter). Another being pouring a Murphy's stout in one go (surely a crime in Cork), and serving a mini-bottle of prosecco with a tumbler and ice. A little bit of training would sort that out. The greeting for our 3-night stay was good, and there was always someone at reception to talk to. However, the departure was a little cold. We handed over the key cards and just a 'thanks' - no query on our stay or anything. No help holding the door for our luggage either. One observation/suggestion - perhaps consider adding mini-fridges to the rooms? When you have a family staying, it helps a lot. At the room rates charged for Water's Edge, it's arguable a mini-fridge should be there.

    The hotel location is probably the best in Cobh, if you want a sea view. The hotel truly is on the water's edge, and it's a dramatic sight from a sea view hotel room. We booked two rooms, both of which were spacious and comfortable. The beds were high quality and overall cleanliness was good. Some of the paint around the windows in the rooms flaking and worn, but it's minor and would need modest effort to fix. When we stayed, there was strong winds and driving rain - almost storm condition on the sea, which the bedroom windows held out well. They are clearly built for the environment! The breakfast was a good quality, although a bit more selection in the buffet area wouldn't go amiss.
