A short walk from the bus or train station and downtown Cork, this Cork hotel has small rooms but a great bar and restaurant. The restaurant is table d'hote only (25 euros). Other meals can be gotten at the bar. Breakfast not included in room price and is rather pricey. Guests have access to a health club on site with... More

We were taken care of promptly and our accommodations were clean and comfy! Wireless hooked up quickly and with no hiccups. This is important because of the family that is trying to... More

Wonderful hotel, great, friendly service, fitness, good sanitation and well located for train, bus and the center of town. But it's the nostalgic atmosphere, the smell (takes the stairs down once!), the breakfast view across the Lee and the '30s/'40s movie set character that make this hotel so endearing! Cross the street to the Fish Wife for (take-away) fish&chips

I stayed in Metropole for one night only, booking a suite, for what I thought was v reasonable price for the quality of the room. Everything about the stay was enjoyable, staff was v friendly and helpful, room was clean and tidy, with plenty of room and all amenities. I would stay there again and recommend it to anyone.

Stated for 2 nights while on a course. Small but comfortable room and staff were very friendly. Only few minutes walk from centre which was handy. Gym and pool nice as well and was able to avail of aerobics classes. Lift up to rooms was pretty cramped and old!
