Ireland: Our stay at Gabriel Guest House had a mix of ups and downs. Unfortunately, parking was a challenge, which can add stress after a long day on the road. When we arrived in November, the room was very cold, but thankfully, the receptionist was kind enough to come up and help us turn on the heat. However, the heat switched off during the night, leaving us cold again with no one on duty to help. Despite ringing the bell, I couldn't find anyone to assist, which was disappointing. The room had charming, old-world decor, which added a classy feel. However, there were some concerning cleanliness issues, with spots on the sheets that really detracted from the experience. The lack of an elevator also made navigating the space with luggage difficult. On the positive side, the receptionist was warm, welcoming, and did their best to address our needs, which I appreciated. It’s a lovely old building, but with a few improvements, especially with heating and cleanliness, it could offer a much more comfortable stay.

First of all we loved Cork. Walking distance to pubs, restaurants, bus and train. Lots of sightseeing. Just disappointed in our room. I booked this back in February 2024 for our trip in October. The room was so small the bathroom door hit the bed when opened. We had carry on luggage but had to be placed on the floor by the main door. The coffee, cups and utensils were set on the window sill. The breakfast was very good. The room was a big disappointment.

Location, location, location! Gabriel House is close to the train station and within easy walking distance to bridges across the River Lee that take you to the centre of Cork. In fact, Gabriel House overlooks the train station and can be accessed up a flight of steps (about 80 or so) from the road. The property is on a hill, which gives a grand view of Cork, but would be difficult for those with mobility issues unless they have a car. It’s about a 10 minute walk from the bottom of the hill up the street to Gabriel House. My group of friends (7 all together and mainly seniors) loved our stay! The walk “home” each day was part of our fitness regimen. Gabriel House is outstanding in many respects: friendly and helpful staff; gorgeous grounds with green lawns and patios to sit and enjoy drinks while taking in the city views; chicken coops housing the hens that produce our breakfast eggs; and wonderful, plentiful breakfasts! There’s also a sauna and a guest lounge in a cabin outside the main building. If ever I return to Cork, I would gladly stay at Gabriel House again!

The communication with Valarie prior to our arrival was excellent and helped us to plan the perfect long weekend away. All of the staff were approachable, helpful and friendly throughout our stay. We were able to arrange some extra birthday surprises with their help! The breakfasts are amazing, with so much choice including several cooked breakfast options. The rooms are comfortable and housekeeping visits daily. It’s a short 20 minute walk into the centre to visit the wonderful Cork! As mentioned before, there is no elevator and the carpark is steep!

Very warm welcome from Cara, and very well looked after by Valerie at breakfast. Make sure explore the garden, we discovered the sauna and beautiful decking area with log burner. Bruce yourself for the car park, it is steep!! Really good pubs within walking distance. Homely feel, clean and just what we needed.

Se avessi potuto, avrei messo 0 stelle, ma purtroppo non si può! In quattro ci é stata data una camera adatta al massimo a due persone con bagagli, all'ultimo piano, senza finestra ma un vasistas impossibile da aprire con la pioggia. Bagno minuscolo dove quasi non si poteva aprire la porta e il lavandino era grande poco più di uno spazzolino da denti! Veramente deluso. Senza ascensore con 5 bagagli di circa 60 kg totali salire le scale è stato particolarmente impegnativo. L'unica nota positiva sono state le ragazze alla reception, gentilissime, e la colazione abbondante e di qualità.

Petit hôtel fort sympathique avec un accueil et un service charmant. Bémol: si vous êtes dans une chambre dans les étages du haut il n'y a aucun ascenseur et heureusement que j'avais mon mari avec moi car je n'aurai jamais pu porter ma valise... Autre point à savoir: parking avec très peu de places...

L’accueil est agréable et très sympathique, profitez en car hormis cela… rien à retenir Chambre bien trop perite Salle de bain petite et fonctionnant mal Lit ne faisant pas la taille pour 2 personnes … Dormir aussi mal à 160€ la nuit c’est terrible C’est la pire nuit que j’ai passé en Irlande et de loin Ah j’oubliais ! Chambre mal insonorisée et les portes doivent être claquée pour être fermée. Parking trop petit (donc on ne peut pas s’y garer Les toilettes partagées sont sales Le petit déjeuner lui, est correct
