I travelled as a single woman and stayed there for three nights - everything was perfect, I can't find fault with the hotel. I felt safe and secure, the rooms were quiet and spacious with incredible views across the city, every little detail in the room was well thought out, plenty of plugs for all those gadgets we have, wifi...

I first stayed in this hotel some years ago and have been using it regularly ever since. It is one of very few hotels where it is difficult to find anything to complain about. From the hot towels at Reception to the complimentary bottle of water at check out this hotel has many thoughtful touches to help make the traveller's... More

The service is second to none, rooms are lovely, the leisure centre is fab, food is great, location is great. Overall, this was one of the best hotels I've stayed in Ireland, if not the best! Highly recommend it, especially for... More

I chose to stay at the River Lee for an overnight business trip having previously stayed there when it was Jurys Hotel. To be honest it's very difficult to say anything negative about my stay.
