Clayton Hotel Cork City

Great location, only concern is about paying parking!

I got a room with a window facing the in-door atrium, which meant not having a window with daylight. For the price I paid, I would expect to have a room with a window with daylight. Spa was not clean and I didn't enjoy it at all. Breakfast was not good either. I won't stay with Clayton again.

The staff were great, very helpful. Location was a amazing. Good value parking too.

The hotel is very central and easy to get to . Very close to main shopping streets and pubs .

Thank you, Paul and Clayton Cork CIty Team for a joyous celebration of our son's Confirmation. As always we loved our spacious room, pool and delicious breakfast. Colin loved his Confirmation Balloon and treats, thank you. We all loved the location.

It's rough, a bit run-down, dated, a few people outside looking for a fix. It reminds me of a travel lodge or other discount chain, down to the kiosks they want you to use for check-in/check-out. To be honest, the kiosks probably provide better service, if they worked, which they didn't for me. Rooms - There's black marks on the walls, partially caulked bathrooms, very faded fabrics on the chairs. It could be quite eloquent and upscale, but it has been allowed to fade from the prestige I imagine it once had. The room has a fridge, and it used to be a minibar, the kind that has sensors to know when things were consumed. The product is gone, but the inserts for bottle placement remain - it's that kind of detail that contributes to the sense that this hotel used to be better. There's a lot of empty/blank space in the room, I can imagine there were probably things there in the good old days but now it just looks empty. The rooms are spacious for both American and European hotels, but with all that space, it should be used. An interior designer could work wonders. Best part of the room? The water pressure for the shower is phenomenal. I haven't seen their data collection policy yet, but they do tend to ask for a room number for everything. Coming in past 9pm? Room number. Parking pass validation in the evening (but not in the morning)? Room number. Want a beer and intend to pay as opposed to charging it to the room? Room number anyway. The bar is, contrary to the hotel, lovely with excellent staff, and creative and comforting food too. Football usually on one of the TVs (without the sound, which is good, so it's not a sportsbar per-se). The restaurant staff are proactive and thoughtful, and just really genuinely service-focused people.

Filthiest hotel I’ve ever been to. We just spend two nights here before a wedding and after a rather rude and unfriendly check-in, ended up in a room where the carpet was so filthy you wouldn’t take your shoes off. Dust hang down in thick swathes from the aircon and the closet and when the bedsheet came off partially one saw blood, urine and stains. The swimming pool is absolutely disgusting and my daughter caught a viral skin disease in the pools and now has pus filled bumps on her back which the GP says will likely come from a unhygienic swimming pool - the only one of which she’s been into is this one at the Clayton. The bathrooms were full of mould along the edges as well and the streetlamp and noise from outside prevented sleeping well. I am shocked such a hotel passes inspections in Ireland and would recommend ok stay somewhere else.
