A large group of us stayed at this hotel for my brothers wedding this weekend just gone. My bother and partner had chosen it as they live in the city and it is close to the things they wanted it to be near to. First impressions, we arrived off a flight at 10.30am and were given our rooms straight away... More

Stayed one night. The staff were unhelpful to the point of rudeness especially at check out. The room was fine. It had been renovated and was therefore clean and modern. Breakfast was a disaster. It is in a dank dirty-looking room. The buffet was tiny and not topped up. The staff were unfriendly and generally avoided costumers. We waited a... More

The receptionists here are helpful, but there aren't enough of them and they don't let you in to your room even 1 minute before 3pm. The hotel has an air of delapidation and needs an upgrade, and there is only one usable, small, lift so you can wait a very long time! The heating in our room came on first... More

The group chose this hotel for lacation and we were not dissapointed. Our room was a decent size, but not enough closet space. The lack of a safe in the room also bothered me. Others in the group complained of small rooms. The hotel is clearly in need of updating. The service was excellent,the food good. The hotel clean and... More

We stayed in the Gresham Metropole as part of our Honeymoon Tour of Ireland. I booked this hotel because it was the nicest looking hotel that was closest to the city centre. When we arrived no-one offered to help us with our luggage (and they could see we were struggling and trying to carry our 20month old son). We were... More

We got a room facing the river lee, and it was wonderful! This is not a luxury hotel, but it is good enough. The room is clean, breakfast is simple but sufficient. Service is good. We asked for extra blanket, and was delivered to our room immediately. Late check-out is not a problem... The biggest merit is the location. Close... More

Stayed here last week on a work conference. First impression was not good at all as the receptionist was very rude on check in. I understand the hotel was very busy and fully booked but still no excuse for this. The hotel is located in the city centre which is very handy. The bar food was ok nothing special and... More
