We arrived in Cork late in the afternoon without reservations only to find a town with few hotels and no vacancies. The staff at the Clarion went out of their way to accommadate us and make sure that we were comfortable at a very fair rate. We were treated as if we were regular customers and they had full knowledge... More

We stayed here for two nights. It is a modern hotel, centrally located. Parking was in the building and very accessible. We parked, checked in and were in the room quite quickly. It is about a 5 minute stroll to all the high street shops. The bar and lobby are nice, we tried the food in the bar, it was... More

I stayed for one night for business. It was exactly what I wanted- clean, modern, fresh and quiet. My room had a double and two singles. The check in was pleasant and efficient. Staff were helpful but not over the top. The location is good -the quiet end of Oliver Plunkett street. It's about a 10 minute walk to the... More

We traveled (drove) around Ireland without any reservations and figured we would stay in Hotels as we felt like stopping. We were planning to stay in Cork 1 night but enjoyed the City AND the Clarion so much we decided to stay another night. We stayed in 5 different hotels in Ireland and this was by far the best value.... More

Have just returned from a two night stay at this hotel with 3 friends. Wow what a hotel, cannot fault anything, except that we were hoping to have room near each other but unfortunately this was not possible. We had the most amazing weekend, first class with excellent staff, nothing is too much trouble, food, facilities and location are second... More

I recently stayed in this excellent hotel with my son and we were kindly upgraded to lovely balcony rooms overlooking the river and VIP'ed for free. The staff were extremely helpful at all times and when lock broke on room door and a change of room was necessary we were given a bottle of wine to compensate for the fact.... More

We spent this weekend at the Clarion for the duration of the Choral Festival. It was our first time staying here and we were not disappointed. The hotel was full for the weekend but service from front staff, restaurant and bar was excellent throughout. A special mention to the waitresses in Kudos on Saturday night - excellent, fast and friendly... More

Laura & Rebecca Boyle stayed at the Clarion on the 24th April, 2012. We had a fantastic room which was huge, which overlooked the river. Our room was designed in a contemporary style with an extremely comfy bed, a three piece suite, a small dining table & the bathroom.... Wow! I have stayed at the Clarion many times & appreciate...
