The bed was great! Our room had a Nespresso machine and the shower was fantastic. It's a great location for parents of kids attending UCC. Parking including and easy access.There are cheaper places to stay in and around Cork City but the Kingsley is worth the cost. We would definitely stay here again.

This hotel was magnificent! We had stayed here the day that I had proposed to my girlfriend and now fiancée. They were so accommodating and had upgraded us to the suite and treated us so well. The spa and gym were fantastic features that the both of us had used. While it was a bit of a walk from the city center, the walk there was beautiful and very easy to make. Would love to stay at The Kingsley someday when we revisit.

Our stay started with confusion on bed choice and we had a repairman knock to fix the air conditioner which as it turns out was not broken. Then a tour bus ahowed up and another knock. They had double assigbed the room. After our rough start the place was okay but not worth going back to.
