Gresham Metropole Hotel Cork

Good hotel. Friendly staff and central location. Absolutely value for money and will stay there again.

Everything was as expected. The room was clean and quiet. The staff were professional. The room was small and was fine for just one person but would be a squeese for two. Pool is lovely and quiet also. Great location for shopping or theatre weekend.

stayed here several times, staff very helpful when i asked for an early breakfast, rooms clean, overall very good, will be back.

Stayed in a single room for one night, got a rash above the hairline the next day!

This was my third stay in the Metropol and the last time I promised myself I will never do it again but the rate through Roomex was so good I said I will give it a chance. I got a single occupancy room, which was bit better than the last room I got which was very grotty. It was clean and that's about it. The TV had no aerial cable (I asked for it 4 times and gave up eventually after being told by a really nice I must say man that he had no chance to get away from the desk to go looking for one). The view out of the room was awful onto galvanised metal roof, it was very loud and the room stank of cigarettes even though it was non smoking room. The second night an alarm went off near by and was going off all night, I got no sleep at all. The staff were nice but not extremely helpful. Had a drink with a friend in the bar and we could not hear our own conversation as the other side of the bar was so loud so we went somewhere else after that. I did not use the leisure centre which is nice I heard but I will not be giving the Metropol another chance I'm afraid. Just as well I got good rate through Roomex , there was few people staying that paid huge money for staying there and were not happy.

The Metropole was a very enjoyable stay with it's efficency and cleanliness second to none. An early morning swim in the pool was followed by a sumptous breakfast. The staff were courteous and always had a smile on their faces. I'd definitely stay there again.
