The Metropole Cork

My wife and I stayed in The Metropole for one night. We booked the Jack Lynch suite. It is a beautiful room. Unfortunately, we could not lower the temperature on one of the radiators. It was boiling, BOILING. As a result, we had to leave the windows open as it was a warm night. It is impossible to get sleep in city hotels because of the noise of people talking loudly, shouting and screaming. This is not the fault of The Metropole, but maybe closed windows may have eased the situation. The Metropole is very near The Everyman theatre. My wife and I went to a concert here on Sunday night and it was great to be back in our room after 5 minutes, but.........very little sleep. The staff are friendly and courteous. Breakfast was delicious. A great hotel with great ambience.

Great hotel with great people, came here for our anniversary and the service was amazing John and Kev at the bar were brilliant. The lady at the breakfast was also really good and welcoming not sure what her name is but I was told she was the mammy of the hotel. Great room and close to everything around town. Will definately be back here again.

We celebrated at the MET restaurant. Simple , spacious and a soft aesthetic with botanical paintings on the walls. The food service was quick and they also surprised us with a good mocktail, on request, that wasn't on their menu. Thank you for that! The staff were very very hospitable. Food: 2/5. I had taken the salmon for main course. While the fish was great, the accompaniments did not taste as fresh. The flavors got suppressed by the charred parts.

Really nice hotel in centre of Cork. Charming old building with all modern tech you'd expect to find in a high end hotel. Bed was the most comfortable hotel bed I've slept in for some time. Room was spacious with really nice en suite and a fantastic shower. Perfect if you want a cork hotel within walking distance to city centre bars and restaurants.

Metropole is in the center of things in Cork. The room we had was small but they did give me a room with a walk in shower that I had arranged prior. It is an older hotel and you can see that it’s gotten a little ruff around the edges but staff do their best to keep it clean and tidy. We ended up getting a rental car and parking was nearly and they validated for a reduced rate. Breakfast was not included. We stayed for a week. A budget friendly hotel.
