The Gresham Metropole - Cork

Das Hotel liegt direkt am River Lee und ist umgeben von Pubs, kleinen Geschäften, Fish+Chips-Läden ... Nur wenige Gehminuten entfernt liegt die Haupt-Einkaufsmeile St. Patricksstreet. Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten sind bequem zu Fuß zu erreichen. Der Busbahnhof befindet sich in Sichtweite, der Bahnhof Kent ca. 15 min entfernt. So ist man überaus flexibel […] bei Unternehmungen. Das Gresham Metropole zeigt den Charme eines alten Gebäudes, das aber geschmackvoll teilrenoviert wurde. Hier und da sind Gebrauchsspuren zu sehen, aber insgesamt wirkt die Einrichtung gepflegt. Unser Zimmer an der Hotel Rückseite im 3. Stock mit Blick auf den Lee war ruhig ( ganz wichtig, da an der Vorderseite des Hotels eine stark befahrene Straße vorbeiführt!!!) und sauber, Bettwäsche und Handtücher werden nach Wunsch- auch täglich- gewechselt. Die Badezimmerausstattung wirkt leicht antiquiert, mit getrennten Hähnen für Warm- und Kaltwasser und einem fest montierten Duschkopf. Das hat uns aber nicht gestört. Das Frühstück ist gewöhnungsbedürftig, da landestypisch. Gebackene Blutwurst, Würstchen und gebackene Bohnen sind nicht jedermanns Geschmack, es gibt aber u.a. auch eine große Auswahl an Cerealien, dazu Trockenfrüchte, Quark und Obstsalat, sowie einen kleinen Käseteller. Gegen Aufpreis können andere Frühstücksvarianten bestellt werden. Das Personal zeigte sich überaus freundlich, höflich und hilfsbereit. Auch Auschecken morgens um 3 Uhr stellte kein Problem dar. Für uns die absolut richtige Entscheidung! Mehr

Nettes 'alt' aussehendes Hotel. Preis/Leistung absolut in Ordnung!

The staff were professional, friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and the barman reccommended the seafood chowder and it was first class absolutely delicious best ever chowder and the ham sandwiches were lovely homecooked ham. The facilities were top notch clean room, shower and bath excellent.

Bed was quite small - probably only a standard double. Room was very warm, no air con and opening the window didn't help. Bathroom was nice, seems to have been recently re-done but there were jets in the shower that we couldn't get to work at all. We found it quite expensive for the overall standard of the hotel and it was room only.

Very close to all the important stuff in cork. This was good. Leisure facilites are great. Room is quite basic, nothing special. Would have preferred Jurys Inn having stayed in both hotels.

The Hotel has great location, spa and pool very good, Wi-Fi works too how ever for me and my experience that’s were it ends. No Parking near the hotel, just a stop and unload area...so don’t leave your car outside for too long! Hotel Car parking is shared with an indoor public car park which is a few blocks away, The bar restaurant was very busy, could […] not cope with the food orders along with the existing customers plates all over the place.. The bedroom was small, old and worn; the bathroom doors were dirty with what looked like was coffee stains all down! The bath towels were thin and approx the size of a tea towel ...One Lift that’s slow and very busy. Breakfast was very poor...The TV was small and from the 70,s the bed was horrible and the pillows from the pound shop... When we arrived in the room, it was exceedingly warm; all the radiators were full on..? No air conditioning! Mehr

Getting there and figuring out parking was a little tricky but not too bad. We pulled up in front, went inside and got a stamped ticket for a parking garage about half a block away, you have to drive around the block to the entrance but can walk out the back door which is just half a block to hotel entrance. Free parking is very nice. Room nice and […] quiet. Hotel has great character. Our room keys wouldn't work the last morning, had to have front desk re-program them to get suitcases to check out, minor annoyance. Breakfast was good but rather overpriced. Didn't use the pool, gym, or other amenities. Neighborhood didn't seem like the best part of town but it wasn't bad and very close to city center, easy to walk everywhere. Mehr

We loved our stay in the Gresham metropole. However the room temperature was too warm in the night and chilly in the morning, the bed was standard size and very flabby, finally we had a old style tv... However the location and the leisure centre is perfect

I recently stayed at the Gresham for one night with my boyfriend. The location was handy as it was close to the city centre but because it was close to the city centre it was quite noisy and I was woken at 7am by traffic. The breakfast was lovely and our room was clean.

Room clean and spacious but had to pay for overnight parking and at €12 each this was expensive. Also when paying the balance of the bill we had been overcharged, Breakfast was included in our deal and they tried to charge again for it. Scramled egg cold on buffet table but otherwise everything was good.

I booked the Metropole mainly for it's central location admittedly, and having stayed at it's sister hotel in Dublin previously I wasn't particularly concerned about the standard of accommodation. However the first room I was given was miniscule, boiling hot and lacking the requested refrigerator - I was upgraded for free to a 'deluxe' room by the very […] helpful receptionist, but even this was still very small. The hot water did not work properly the entire three days I was there, and the TV stations available were extremely limited, although the bed was very comfortable. I would stay again if I was in town for a single night, but no longer. Mehr

Really enjoyed night in cork. Unfortunately room was not ready when we arrived at 2.55. Told it would be ready in ten minutes but wasn't so we were asked to take a seat in the lobby. While we were waiting we overheard an irate Dublin couple and their two teenage daughters complaining about some issue they had regarding their booking. Nobody called us […] to say that our room was ready. I eventually approached the desk and was told that our room was indeed ready. It was all good from then on. We had booked room only so I cannot comment on any other aspects. Mehr

The room was clean and the cleaning staff were helpful and pleasant. The hotel was extremely noisy even given that one night was the end of the Jazz weekend. I was woken three times by drunk guests trying to open the door having misread the room number. I complained to the reception and the manager especially about the noise but was given unsatisfactory […] resolution and comments. The pictures of the hotel on the website are extremely old since both the hotel and the leisure centre have dated/ aged poorly since these were taken. The staff in the leisure centre are very unhelpful and the pool is very cold. Mehr

I've stayed in the hotel several times and really don't have any negatives - it fits my requirements very well. Principally, I'm looking for a central location with car parking, leisure facilities, free wi-fi, decent standard of accommodation and offering value for money - the Gresham Metroploe meets these requirements. Although there may be parts of […] the hotel that could be improved I feel that it offers good solid services/accommodation for a decent price which makes it a value for money option from my perspective. One of my colleagues highlighted their room was cold through the day,another that their room was tiny, however my room was spacious and warm enough for me Mehr

Nothing told us there was no air conditioning. Room was extremely hot when we checked in. Had to leave windows open all night and the noise from the street was terrible. Either be hot and not sleep or have noise from outside and not sleep. Either way, didn't sleep well at all.

Authentische Hotels.com-Gästebewertung

The hotel has a rather dated atmosphere - could do with a makeover. We'd dinner in the "new" dining room which was sparsley populated and under-staffed. It was very quiet apart from some muzak whch kept fading and getting louder. It was really too quiet to enjoy pirvacy of converstation at our table.

Very close to main Rail station and accross river from Bus Depot. Adjacent to main shopping and easy access to Cork Opra House, Cork Goal, University College Cork - all worth a visit!

The Gresham Metropole is a very nice, moderately priced "city" hotel. The rooms are a little small by American standards but clean and well-maintained. We had breakfast each morning and the food was very good and fresh. The bar is a great spot for winding down before turning in for the night. The associates are friendly and helpful and the overall service […] was excellent. We were able to walk to the city center in five minutes. The hotel is eight minutes (walking) from the train station. Mehr

Unless you upgrade to a larger room, don't stay here with a significant other -- the basic room is a shoebox with a small, though relatively comfortable bed. Quite a walk to get to some of the rooms -- the inside of this quirky hotel is maze of passageways, all alike. Skip the continental breakfast at all costs; you'll receive the dregs of fruit (not […] replenished while I was dining), a small piece of cheese, some toast, and tea -- for E10? Complete rip-off. Go elsewhere to eat. Stay here for the location. Quick 10-15 minute walk from the train station, and local to several pubs and restaurants across the street. 5 minute walk to the town center, with many more options for food and drink. Mehr

the walls are paperthin, not the quality of ANY hotel, very noisy and poor quality overall. I would rate this as a hostel, not a 4 star hotel. you could hear when the person next door brushed his/her teeth.

The classification of this hotel as 4 star is misleading. It does have a large foyer and a leisure centre, however in every other respect it is 2/3 star as most. The hotel is old and in poor condition, double room was very small, carpets dirty, windows on to a noisy street, did not close properly, between that and an uncomfortable bed made it impossible […] to sleep, food was poor. The staff did their best but this did not make for the poor condition of the hotel. Mehr

The room was a bit cramped, only place to sit was on bed, unsure if I would stay at the Gresham again.
