Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Rochestown Park Hotel is often praised for its spacious family rooms, sometimes featuring 2 double beds, with bathrooms including both a separate bath and shower; air conditioning is another appreciated feature. Its location proves convenient, particularly due to the proximity to Douglas shopping centre and bus stops for reaching Cork city centre. Guests commonly enjoy the leisure facilities, with the pool and gym being highlights, along with the relaxing lobby and bar area; some have, however, found the standards in Suttons Bar have dropped. the provision of tea and coffee, along with room safes, adds to the convenience.

Great family stay!

The leisure centre was great. Our beautiful room was super clean. Plus, it was super handy having shops like Aldi and McDonald's so close to the hotel! A birthday gift of chocolates from the hotel charmed me!
I didn't like unmarked parking spaces! and the trek through corridors to reception, and room was not ready!

The receptionist was to be less enthusiastic than I am about lukewarm tea (a low bar). She acted as if I interrupted her daily marathon of solitaire. The furniture looked like it survived a small war, sporting more character (and stains) than I cared to analyze.
