Beautiful views of the River Lee while enjoying a delicious breakfast. The garden terrace offered a picturesque setting to unwind. The bed was comfortable, and I liked the close walk to city center attractions.

Warm stay, as always. Fantastic service, relaxing king room with TV, the patio, for instance. Perfect and satisfactory breakfast with a very nice view on the river and freshly brewed coffee to order, as for instance. Speedy check-in and late check-out, parking nearby. Everything wonderful.

I loved the breakfast overlooking the river. It was a highlight of my stay! The comfortable outdoor seating area by the river provided the perfect spot to unwind. The staff were really nice, drying my raincoat after a downpour while I was exploring.

I recently spent 2 nights in a Single Room at Shandon Bells Guest House. The bed felt quite comfortable, a relief after long days exploring Cork. The garden terrace beside the river offered a picturesque spot to unwind. I enjoyed the hot breakfast options, although the selection for a continental breakfast was lacking. Parking a few doors down was convenient, but access was quite tricky, and the tight driveway was stressful to navigate. The bathroom was very cramped, leaving little room to maneuver. I found it difficult to shower without bumping into the walls. Wi-Fi was slow.

Friendly and accommodating staff made my stay enjoyable.
I was disappointed with the cramped bathroom, made showering uncomfortable. The Wi-Fi was disappointingly slow. Parking was tricky to navigate due to a tight driveway. The overcrowded spaces left me feeling uneasy .

The breakfast offered a plentiful and varied menu, served in a lovely conservatory overlooking the river, which enhanced the experience. Staff were helpful, allowing me to leave my bags for a few hours after check-out. The location was ideal, just a short walk from Cork city center and near the University.
The TV connection was problematic, and I missed having a news station available.

What a good stay! The breakfast was freshly made and offered plenty of tasty options, and the comfortable room had a beautiful view of the river. We also enjoyed visiting the nearby Blarney Castle, with its lovely gardens, a hit with the kids.
For dads, it would be great if there were more family-friendly activities nearby.
