On Friday night we were lucky enough to have booked into the Oysters Restaurant located in the Hotel where we had one of the best meals out we've ever had. I had the soft shell crab to start which was really delicious, followed by fillet... More

Very clean and comfortable place to stay on business. Two quality restaurants to fall back on, if you don't want to take a short walk down several streets to experience many ethnic food options. The staff is friendly, helpful and efficient in providing a high level or comfort.

Loved the Clarion Cork City. Fantastic location only 5 mins from the shops and pubs. Our room was amazing, got upgraded to a suite. Windows floor to ceiling all around the room with an amazing view of Cork. It was really big and even held all our family (15 of us anyway) for champagne before celebrating my Grandmother's 80th birthday.... More

I stayed there in April and thought it was a lovely airy space - golden balls hanging from the roof and a massive central open space. The staff were very friendly rooms were just lovely. Nice pool. Had chance to taste some samples from the restaurant for free which was good. Easy to miss entrance to underground parking and diff... More

They have a nice bar that serves Asian cuisine. They have free wifi which was great. Check in and check out was efficient. Parking is tricky but... More

Clarion Hotel in Cork is a very nice place to spend time. It is located in the heart of the city and is one of the tallest buildings. Very nice people there, always smiling and ready to even guess your needs. Excellent rooms and restaurant, and, even I was told the restaurant is quite expensive, I was surprised to find... More
