Classy

Overall a nice facility. No coffee machine in my room but a call to the front desk fixed that quickly. Dinner at the restaurant was terrific, if pricy.

Irish vacation

Unbelievable service and atmosphere. Damo does everything right and makes the bar what it is. Rodrick and Jack are great bartenders and make the best drinks you’ll get in Ireland.

Good stay

We were upgraded to a Junior Suite, nice room. Large with a safe which you can remove! It wasn’t attached to the wall! Sadly no turn down. Great staff. Lift 3 broke down so it was not easy to find our way to our room and needed help. Next morning it was working. Breakfast was very good, huge continental selection and cooked breakfast to order. Visited the bar on our first day and it was huge and great selection of drinks. In the evening visited again. Next day we couldn’t get it, tried twice and it was heaving so we gave up.

We called in for a night cap and Damien greeted us. Sorted out a beautiful seat got the somelia ( hopefully spelled correctly) to recommend a delicious bottle of bubbles Damien came and chatted to us made sure we were happy with our choice of bubbles and chatted with us and was absolutely welcoming friendly and great fun. He chatted to everyone and made us feel like we knew him like a friend. One can only say we would call in again and stay for the weekend just to experience Damien’s absolute exceptional welcome and an absolutely experience to pop in for a nightcap. Damien made us feel like old friends. He is an exceptional ambassador for The Imperial Hotel. Five star review from us to Damien and his team. His impressive performance wit and hilarious personality made our night one to remember. Well done.

Gorgeous hotel

We stayed in Cork on our way between hitting the Cliffs of Moher, and on our way to Waterford up to Dublin. Gorgeous Hotel. Only stayed there one night but gorgeous historic fun room with a cool vibe. Dinner and breakfast were wonderful and you’re in a great location. On a sidenote, if you’re driving yourself, parking is a bit dodgy with their recommended parking structure about a mile away and over the canal, but it’s doable. Don’t let that discourage you but just be prepared.
