I stayed at the Gresham Metrople on Sat 4 February. Overall I had a very pleasant experience. The hotel itself is a very old building so that can't be helped. I stayed in a twin room and was very impressed to see the toiletries in the room. Along with the usual shower gel, there was soap, shoe shine, show cap,... More

I have to say this has been the worst hotel experience I've had yet. The hotel is not cheap, I payed €80 euro for one night and I had to spend the night sleeping in all my clothes the room was so cold. There was only a very light summer duvet on the bed for it being a cold winter.... More

We stayed one night here in Cork. Great location in front of the river and just over the bridge is the bustling main shopping area of Cork. 15 minute easy drive to Blarney Castle. Staff was friendly and helpful with directions and recommendations. Nice Restaurant/Bar right in the hotel. Many restaurants/pubs/shops around the hotel. Room was sized small-moderate, but quiet...

We spent a lovely weekend in Cork, which was even more special because of the location and hospitality of the Metropole. The hotel, staff and pool were brilliant, the room was on the small size, and a bit noisy by the road, but we hope to return one day (with ear plugs). Breakfast was limited but available until 12 noon... More

I did not stay overnight at the Gresham but attended a Christmas party there and was quite disappointed by the experience. There was a nice festive atmosphere in the lobby for the mulled wine reception but we were quite a long time waiting to be called for dinner. Our party was split into two separate tables which was not what... More

Stayed at the Met. last Sunday for 1 night booked online with a booking site (cheaper than their own site). HOWEVER on arrival on a busy Sunday afternoon I was LOUDLY asked to pay in full in advance even though I had quietly mentioned the booking method I had used. As many of you would agree I wasn't 100% sure... More
