    Wonderful experience

    rating28 Mar 2026

    We were a group of 13 staying at the Metropole and we couldn't have been looked after better. Rachel looked after the booking and was so helpful with the planning and admin of it all. From the moment we arrived the staff without exception were so helpful and friendly. Thanks so much to Fabian and Nico who ensured that our evening meal was very special. Lorraine at breakfast was superb and gave us all the tips for making the most of a trip to Cork city..A wonderful experience. The location is perfect for a stay in Cork city but it's the wonderful staff that will ensure my return. Highly recommend. Concierge atTheMetropole, Owner at The Metropole Hotel, responded to this review Hi Maps, Thank you so much for sharing this feedback and for the full 5 stars in your review. It is truly great to read about how much you enjoyed your stay. Our aim at the Metropole is to create memorable experiences for our guests, so I am delighted to see this rang true for yourself and your group. The Metropole is a great place for big dinner parties like yours. I will pass your kind feedback on to Fabien, Nico and Lorraine, who will be delighted they could contribute to your memorable experience. We would love to welcome you back to the Metropole anytime. Best wishes, E.Corbett.Guest relations.

    Great location, nice bar, and that’s it

    rating27 Mar 2026

    First, the positives: it’s well located. The entrance is nice and so is the bar. Then, the negatives: old overall feeling in hallways and rooms, with old stained carpets. No ac in room, old and noisy shower system . Gym was disorganized and smelled bad. Would not come back. Concierge atTheMetropole, Owner at The Metropole Hotel, responded to this review Dear Z6715VHdanielb, Thanks for your review. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.It’s great to hear you enjoyed our location, as well as the entrance and bar. Those are areas we take a lot of pride in, so it’s lovely to know they stood out to you.In terms of the overall feel of the hotel, we completely understand your comments. We are a historic property that first opened in 1897, and as one of the oldest hotels in Ireland, a lot of our character comes from that heritage. It’s something many guests love, but we also recognise that it doesn’t suit everyone’s taste and that’s absolutely fair.Thanks again for staying with us. Warm regards, E.Corbett.

    We will return.

    rating26 Mar 2026

    Treated so well by Emily on arrival for a family meal. She was friendly, pleasant and great fun. We were given a complimentary drink as we waited for the bar to open. Anna was so helpful in the dining room. She was lovely. We had a delightful meal and an enjoyable experience . The only complaint was our cold French fries which were replaced. Concierge atTheMetropole, Owner at The Metropole Hotel, responded to this review Hi Coastal546033, Thank you so much for this lovely review. I am so delighted to read that you had such a wonderful evening in the hotel. It was a pleasure to meet you and your family. We hope to welcome you back to the historic Metropole again soon.Kind regards, E. Corbett.

    Great experience!

    rating17 Mar 2026

    Had a wonderful experience at the Metropole! The piano player was great and so relaxing. Emily was so bright and welcoming- she went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. And Thias was so kind and constantly checking in to see if I needed anything. The atmosphere was great all around, 10/10 experience and will be back Concierge atTheMetropole, Owner at The Metropole Hotel, responded to this review Dear Emmy800, Thank yo so much for taking the time to leave us such a great review.
