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.

Can’t fault our few days at the Kingsley! Right on the river Lee, only a 30 minute walk into town and if you take the river walk passed UCC it’s gone in no time, stunning. The hotel staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful. The food was great and the fresh honeycomb from their own bees with some lovely treacle bread, cannot be missed. A really lovely stay and next time we’re in Cork we know exactly where we’re going to be staying.

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.
