Kent Train Station is 200 metres from the bed and breakfast and Cork Airport is a 15-minute drive. The Blarney Stone is just 5 miles away, and Kinsale is 30 minutes’ drive away.

Very cozy Guesthouse with lovely ladies at the reception. The breakfast was delicious! There is a nice backyard with ducks and birds. Very easy to walk around the city center and beds were very comfortable as well. We had big luggages so we took a taxi from the train station but with just a light luggage the train station is just a small walk away.

    The hotel is very charming, in an old building with a waterfall in the yard. Shops, clubs, pubs and restaurants are nearby, the city centre is 5 min by walk. Aircoach to Dublin in the same street. Breakfast was very good and not expensive. Wlan worked very well, the beds were comfortable. I got a quiet room on request in the 3rd floor (well isolated window). I would definitely stay here again!

    I stayed here for a couple of nights in visiting CUH (hospital) to visit a relative. Staff were pleasant; the room was well-appointed though the bathroom was dated. Charming old building, wonderful location in downtown Cork. Really quiet at night time which was appreciated. The Imperial is a classy old-style hotel in a great location. Nice view to the front of hotel from our room and the windows seemed well sound-proofed from traffic noise.

    Perfectly located for the city centre ,quiet ,friendly atmosphere. A good shared kitchen and shared sitting area . You can leave your bags before or after check in/out but there is a small charge . The accomodation is so much cheaper than most other accommodation in Cork. It is for students so bear that in mind
