8/10 Very good

Great hotel, lovely staff. Car parking is €15 per day if you notify reception, not €3 per hour, which is what the signage says. While we were there the lift from the car park to the hotel didn’t work. The gym door in the car park says no access to the hotel, but this isn’t true their lift only seems to go to the first floor, but the stairs take you to the ground floor. For breakfast everything is available gluten free, you just have to ask. The room was great, but that’s what you pay for.

From start to finish the river Lee hotel was exceptional! Staff was top notch and remembered us by name each day. Hotel is sparkling clean and smells beautiful each day! The food breakfast lunch and dinner top notch! Each meal was outstanding. I would give this hotel 10 stars if I could. The rooms were maintained daily and were comfortable for our family of 3. I have no complaints at all and can not wait to come and stay again. Thank You River Lee for an exceptional stay during our time at Cork.
