This week, I stayed in the Earl of desmond Hotel, and was extraordinarily pleased with the hotel's public areas and the helpfulness of the staff, both at reception and in the bar/ restaurant. My room was very comfortable and cozy as well, with TV Channels from Ireland, Germany and the UK. The staff tried everything to look after me and... More

There were 5 coach trips staying at the hotel and the catering team managed to get our dinner served in a highly organised manner. The food was fresh and very good for what we... More

What a pleasant surprise to find that some poor reviews that we had seen turned out to be completely incorrect! The hotel appears to be well managed by The White Hotel Group, I understand that this is a... More

Based on some reviews here I was expecting dated rooms and indifferent service. This was not the case. The foyer is large, modern and attractive. My single room was on the ground floor, next to the front carpark but it was quiet, comfortable, spotlessly clean bathroom, and much more spacious than your average European hotel room. Front desk staff were... More
