Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa, Cork , Little Island, County Cork

"It took days for the person responsible for the bookings & reservations to get back to us. Her attitude on the phone was rude and gave us a general feeling as if we are bothering her for wanting to make a reservation. We paid €9 for two decaf espresso which turned out to be made from instant coffee. I still can't believe it. We had a good time the last time we were there 3 years ago, but this time something seemed very off."

"Great service. Friendly hotel. Both meals (dinner and breakfast) were extremely good with attentive service. The ambience of the restaurant was calm. The room had a good, firm mattress, sufficient lighting and TV set with many Irish and UK channels. The temperature was inadequate but was supplemented with an electric radiator which was sufficient until the heating came on at 6pm. I attempted to have a bath but the water was tepid. I would give the hydro pool and gym only 2 out of 5 especially as they were a main selling point of the hotel. Many of the jets were not working but after pointing that out the man obtained batteries to enable some of them to work. The pool had activities such as mothers and fathers and babies that had no pre-warning of the times so one couldn't schedule time to swim lengths. Circuit training was advertised by didn't start for another month. The sauna's top layer was broken. When visiting the gym I decided to leave early as gangster rap was put on which featured a very angry man spewing out a whole string of expletives which was totally out of line with a relaxing trip in an upmarket hotel. All in all, not bad but certainly not four star!"

"Have just left from my stay here and I am blown away. I stay in hotels very often and this is officially my top hotel in Ireland. It was lovely to still see the Christmas decorations up. The lobby was stunning, very elegant. Check in was quick and easy and ended up with an upgrade to a suite, we were delighted. They were very friendly at the front desk. The room was perfect. Bed was so comfy. Only fault was that it was very very warm, but we opened a window and it sorted the problem. We had 2 courses included in our stay. Dinner was incredible. Myself and my partner tried different things off the menu and everything was to perfection. We spent the evening relaxing in the room. Breakfast was buffet style which we were pleasantly surprised by. It had all breakfast options and it was delicious. Didn’t get to use the pool or spa facilities but from what we saw they looked great! Overall , we had an amazing time and we will definitely be back. Thank you too all the staff for making our stay so enjoyable."

"Stayed here for 2 nights for work, Lovely hotel settled away from the busy roads and motorway. Good range of food on offer and staff very polite. My room was lovely, bed big and comfortable, my only negative would be the cleanliness of the bathroom. Toilet roll holder covered in dust and the sealant around shower screen was a bit mouldy. All that aside I would stay again the next time I'm in Cork"

"Just one things made our rest not so pleasure.. The room was nice and modern, but it was dirty. A lot of hair and even toilet was not properly clean POOL: very nice. BAR: tasty cocktails . BREAKFAST: lovely."
