Clayton Hotel Cork City

The staff were efficient, friendly and helpful and permitted us to check in a little early, which was much appreciated. The location was the primary reason for choosing the Clayton as it was less than five minutes walk from Cork's bus depot; only 15 minutes walk from Cork's main rail station (Kent); and less than 10 minutes walk to the Oliver Plunkett, one of Cork's best pubs with awesome live music. The busy city centre, English Market, shopping, restaurants, pubs etc were all within an easy walk of the hotel.

The advertised power shower is a joke. Only vastly improving the water pressure will provide a truly powerful shower experience. And the laundry prices were ridiculous. It would have cost us around 100Euro to wash three pairs of trousers/jeans, five shirts and a weeks worth of underclothes through the hotel's laundry system. The hotel management should realise not all its guests are on a business expense account and should offer a cheaper alternative. Instead, we found The Laundry Basket, just 10 minutes walk from the hotel, which did an excellent same-day service for 16Euro.

Very convenient. Nicely appointed rooms. Very clean.

No facial clothes in the bathrooms. Has to ask for one each day. Just bring me one for each day when I ask the first time!
