My second time in Ireland and in the Cork area, the Kingsley is a beautiful hotel and I would always recommend it. I stayed here during my first trip and when I return I’ll stay here again. The breakfast is the best I’ve had so far while in Ireland.

A lovely large room with a huge ensuite bathroom. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was superb with lots of items made to order from a large menu. The usual buffet items were also available. The location was perfect for walking into Cork alongside the river, through parks and the University of Cork. Good bus very close if you prefer not to walk.

I could go for another night. Great hotel. Staff were super pleasant and helpful. The room was very very spacious and comfortable; they basically thought of everything and provided little extras that make traveling so much more comfortable. A little dining table, lots of extra coffee and tea and a coffee machine, a super comfortable bed, nice towels that are fluffy and not cheap, brand name really nice toiletries. There's a really nice entry way layout and very large bathroom with separate tub and shower, that are both placed next to the public hallway- it's great for separating any noise from the hallway into the main sleeping area. The pool/spa area that is completely free and open until 10pm is also really nice. There's a very large Jacuzzi pool outside facing the river and view, and realty nice sauna, steam room and whirlpool. All in all, totally fantastic hotel. Well above the rest in Cork, and fantastically peaceful and quiet, while still being only a 15-20 minute walk right into the very center of the action. 10/10.
