Stayed recently with my husband for our anniversary, the location of the hotel is perfect with it being very close on foot to the city. Our room was clean with a great view of the river and the bed was comfy. We had food and drinks in the restaurant in the evening, our food was excellent and the service was great. Leisure centre pool is great. Breakfast in the morning was perfect with good choice. All staff were extremely friendly, polite and attentive to detail especially Katie - grace on reception who checked us in and also gave us some good recommendations about the city, all in all great hotel, will definitely return !

We had a great afternoon tea today at the River Lee hotel, fantastic food and a great selection of teas plus the staff were just amazing, especially our waiter Georgie, he was just wonderful, very helpful and attentive, friendly and very informative. We were so glad he suggested trying the other teas as being Corkonians we were just going to have good old Barry's but they were so delicious and we probably would not have tried them without his suggestion. We will definitely be coming back!

The Lee Hotel is in a beautiful location, located on the River Lee, with breathtaking views. The rooms are big and well-designed, with huge windows that bring in plenty of natural light. The bathroom is well-equipped, with a bathtub and a shower cabin. The hotel's pool, sauna, and jacuzzi are ideal for relaxation and recreation, making your stay even more delightful. Breakfast is really fantastic, with a wide variety of delectable dishes managed by Kosta's superb team. The service was excellent, and the overall experience exceeded expectations. I will surely return on my future visit!

The hospitality at the River Lee Hotel was outstanding! We were in Cork to see our daughter who was doing a study abroad at UCC Cork, and it was conveniently located between campus and city center. Our room was beautiful, clean, and eco-friendly. We had planned an excursion to the Cliffs of Moher one morning, and my husband was looking for coffee before their continental breakfast was ready at 0630, and one of desk clerks went and found him a cup with all of the trimmings. The people of Cork are so friendly. 10/10 experience, highly recommend.
