Nice quiet grounds with views to the garden from the terrace and easy to park, good quality food at breakfast and evening meal

Ongoing renovation work meant a lot of noise in the hotel during the day

Marybourgh is 300 year old country hotel full of character in its own right, which is absolutely breathtaking outside and in. The staff were 1st class, exceptionally wonderful, they couldn't do enough for you. The hotel smelt beautifully through with tee lights lemon and jasmine. It was lovely decorated for Christmas with stunning trees everywhere. I took so many pictures, lovely roaring fire as you entered. When I arrived there on Saturday the 16th of November there was a beautiful wedding the bride was lovely.. Both the bar and restaurant were spectacular, and the food was outstanding. All staff were 1st class..my room was just perfect with a massive comfy bed. I would definitely recommend this absolutely wonderful hotel.full to be a lovely friendly, hard-working staff and its charm. I will definitely visit again when I'm over in the summer to visit my son and his girlfriend and family.. I absolutely had a fantastic time staying at The Marbrough Hotel and Spa.

Absolutely Nothing - Completely perfect

Staff was pleasant at Breakfast. The room was nice in a nice location. I had dinner one night and the food was good.

Pool, sauna, and steam room closed early two night in a row. A young kid opened the steam and sauna rooms 15-20 minutes early two nights in a row preventing me from using the facilities. I was away and didn't get to use the facilities until the end of the day and this was disappointing. I normally bring my own googles for swimming but since I was traveling for such a lengthy time, I left my pair at home. The googles that were provided had mold and black stuff on them. A good disinfect or clean would have went along way.

The whole experience was amazing. The room was outstanding, with great view to the garden and an amazing balcony. The dining experience was also incredible. The Thermal Suites, offered as a compliment on our stay, was a very relaxing experience and one of the best structures I've ever been to. But I need to say that out of all the things that impressed me on this Hotel, the main one was the staff. Luke at the restaurant, Laura at the Spa, Heidi who gave me the deep tissue massage, and especially Johannes at reception were able to offer of one of the best hospitality experiences I've had in my life. Kudos to every single one of them and whoever trained these people. Well done!

I believe that the breakfast was not at the same level of the other services provided at the hotel. It wasn't bad, but the Full Irish for example was as simple as it gets, definitely not at the same level as the dining experience you would have during Dinner.

The room and welcoming champagne was lovely, though we didn't get to open it due to our short stay (traffic took us longer to get there and we were exhausted). We sat outside for a beverage, but the staff never came to us to ask if we wanted food or drink, we had to get up and go inside the bar, but they did help every group that was outside other than us. I did see this and it was very obvious. That is why I did not give 5 stars... Not one time did they ask if we'd like anything (outside and there were 3 servers walking around, even brought cushions outside and didn't ask us if we wanted some on our chairs, but asked 3 other groups). Room was absolutely lovely, bed, large pillows and not the small ones, the scenery, the front desk was superb... but the servers were disappointing.

This hotel is as many reviews described: a bit dated in terms of the rooms and their facilities, but with a beautiful garden, good parking, and a nice spa and pool. The thing I really wanted to mention is the staff at the check-out and check-in - I unfortunately didn't get her name, but she was so nice and welcoming, and helped move our luggage. Such service only seems to be found in another time long, long ago. It was truly impressive!

See above. The rooms are rather dated and the whole annex building where most of the rooms are feels run-down. The breakfast is a bit clunky with one having to order most hot things, but overall good.

We had a truly 5-star experience at the Maryborough. Starting with check-in, and throughout our stay, the staff was very welcoming and helpful. Johannes even insisted on taking our luggage up to our 2nd floor Junior Suite as it was in the older section of the hotel which has no elevator. The suite was magnificent with high, wood beam ceilings and a separate living room and bedroom. The large bed was very comfortable and had 2 electric fans to keep us cool. The suite amenities included a refrigerator with milk for the complimentary tea and coffee, 2 bottles of water and 2 bottles of wine (very unexpected and appreciated) and all the toiletries you'd expect from a 5-star resort. We enjoyed the complimentary access to the spa's Thermal Suites and a fantastic breakfast each morning. We also had a wonderful dinner 1 night at the restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return should our travels bring us back to Cork.

Not a thing!

Very nice hotel and Spa, located just a short drive deim Cork city centre in a nice part of the city surrounded by parks and residential area. The hotel grounds are beautiful, nice gardens with lots of flowers and it is quiet, even though there is a busy road just next to the hotel. The staff was absolutely great, arranged the rose petals in the room and greeted us with a bottle of bubbly and cake for our anniversary. We booked the dinner in Bellini's, a hotel restaurant, and the food was amazing. Again, two glasses of prosecco from the restaurant were complimentary. We were so grateful when the receptionist went above and beyond to help us identify the tree with most beautiful pink flowers which we decided to find and plant it at home. All in all, we will definitely come back as we didn't have anything to complain about.

Nothing I can think of.

Small bottle of Prosecco in room which was nice and water. The porridge was delicious and husband liked the cooked breakfast.

At our first breakfast there was lovely real honey but was never replaced the rest of our stay. Fresh fruit and juice wasn’t replaced when gone. I had a fruit scone which was rock hard and couldn’t eat. It would have been nice to have a few biscuits in room and a fridge to keep drinks cold.

The Maryborough was everything we wanted for a chilled-out post-Christmas break. A family-owned boutique hotel, it oozes charm and old-school hospitality with plenty of character. We liked: A seriously comfy bed and the BEST pillows. Breakfast - a well-stocked Continental buffet with a spread of fresh fruit, yoghurt, cheese, meats and smoked salmon, as well as delicious pastries and even some mini custard doughnuts (seriously tasty, FYI...). Guests can also avail of a made-to-order hot breakfast including a traditional Full Irish, Eggs Benedict, pancakes or an omelette - I'd highly recommend the latter. No need to deal with parking or taxis - leave your car at the hotel and take the bus into the city centre. A stop for the 220 is located across the road from the main entrance. Buses are frequent, running every 15 minutes, and best of all, you can use your Leap card. A trip into the city costs a mere €1.35. The spa and thermal suite with complimentary access for all hotel residents.
