Everything was impeccable, the cleanliness of the room, the helpful staff (and owner), the delicious complimentary breakfast, the location!!! It was fabulous! They have done a magnificent job in restoring a beautiful building.

Exceptionally helpful and friendly staff, comfortable room, good selection of tea/coffee available 24/7, very good breakfast.We cannot fault the hotel for anything and found the previous badreviews to be untrue by our experience. Big thumbs up! :). Directions to the hotel were inadequate and our 2 cars both got lost. It would be helpful to indicate the one-way streets and provide clearer directions.The hotel was a little difficult to find and on a very steep hill... be careful when going on foot. No phone in room. nothing at all. No elevator. bright light shining into our room at night. Sound traveled quite clearly through the floor of the room above so we were woken when the room upstairs started moving around in the morning. we were travelling light but if we had taken a reasonable amount of luggage the absence of furniture in the room could have been problematic for a family of 4. ( 2 bedside tables and a hanging rail was all that was provided). was below dining room and could hear the chairs moving. Would prefer to have tea/coffee facilities in room. The location was a bit strange. The building next door had brokenwindows and partial occupancy... Gabriel House and other surroundingbusinesses looked like they were trying to turn the neighborhoodaround...not sure. A security guard is there through the night. No hair dryer or tissues in room. No tea and coffee making facilities in room. Would have liked tea/ coffee facilities in the room. No cable t.v.just basic channels. missed luxury of a phone?.

Hotel information details

Given its position, overlooking the harbour and the eastern section of Cork city, it is not surprising that our views are very impressive. From here, you can gaze out over the docks and the spires of Cork's churches and cathedrals to the countryside beyond.

The guest house is deceptively quiet for such a centrally located establishment. This is due, in part, to its setting, surrounded as it is by mature gardens and spacious private car parking facilities.

An estimated time for arrivals after 18.00 would be greatly appreciated

Important information to guests

Please note that parking is subject to availability, as parking spaces are limited. Pets are accommodated in kennels adjacent to the guesthouse. Please note this hotel does not accept American Express. The property is not wheelchair friendly as it is located on a steep slope and there are numerous steps from the car park to the main entrance. Please inform Gabriel House Guesthouse in advance of your expected arrival time. You can use the Special Requests box when booking, or contact the property directly with the contact details provided in your confirmation.
