Would recommend for a stopover

Spacious room, great amenities, the indoor swimming pool was a refreshing bonus that many hotels lack, making it a perfect place to unwind after a day of exploration.

No negatives from this place.

perfect for city explorers with nearby parks and landmarks

Staying here made my weekend so enjoyable because I was only a short walk to the Royal Gunpowder Mills and the beautiful Regional Park Ballincollig, perfect spots for a leisurely stroll and taking in the scenery. it truly felt like home base while I explored all the vibrant local culture and history around me.

Cork vibes 🇮🇪

Room was lekker and big enough for our family of three. The staff were friendly, always ready for a chat and made us feel welcome.

Had a bit of a letdown with brekkie on one morning—food was cold and the buffet was kinda messy.

Stunning pool facility

my partner and i stayed for 3 nights and were pleasantly surprised by the spacious and beautifully designed room. the indoor swimming pool was a fantastic way to unwind after our days exploring cork. overall, talbot hotel exceeded our expectations with its comfort and attentive service.

something was off with the breakfast timing.

The stay at Talbot Hotel exceeded expectations thanks to the spacious double room, top-notch leisure facilities, and an exquisite breakfast featuring a fresh fruit platter and a selection of gourmet options. The staff displayed a remarkable level of service, accommodating every request with a genuine attitude that enhanced the overall experience.

Spacious room with a scrumptious buffet breakfast. Loved the little touches like well-equipped bath goodies that made it feel extra special. Easy access to exploring the charming sights nearby was a bonus!

But for a 'modern' hotel, the TV felt like a relic from the past—bring back bunny ears! my arm got quite the workout from searching for plug sockets!

Had a blast staying here with friends! We explored Blarney Castle and CIT Blackrock Castle for some fun and learning. The pool was fantastic, and the staff were so friendly. Breakfast had a good selection, and our rooms were spacious, which made for a comfortable stay.

One thing to note was that bar service could be a bit slow, which is something that could use improvement.

Exceptional Room Quality and Amazing Breakfast

My stay was enhanced by the spacious double room, which featured comfortable bedding and great amenities. The breakfast was a standout, with a scrumptious buffet that included fresh fruit and gourmet options. the hotel’s leisure facilities, especially the swimming pool, provided a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. Unfortunately, the check-in process was a bit slow, which could be improved.

The welcoming reception set a positive tone, and the spacious, beautifully designed room was a highlight of the stay. the cleanliness left room for improvement, with dust in various corners and an empty diffuser. Dining experiences were mixed. food quality varied with some dishes coming out cold or not as ordered, and staff availability during breakfast was inconsistent. While the setting was peaceful, the noise from adjacent rooms disturbed sleep at times.

The spacious room created a comfortable atmosphere throughout my visit, complemented by the friendly staff who made our stay enjoyable. the breakfast timing was off, and the noise from adjacent rooms occasionally disturbed sleep. The lovely indoor pool was a great way to relax after exploring.

the leisure facilities were enjoyable, but the housekeeping was quite poor.
