The River Lee Hotel is really well located, with good parking, obliging staff and really comfortable rooms right in the heart of he city. It's not startlingly cheap but you get what you pay for. Highly recommended.

We arrived at the hotel to a warm and friendly welcome from receptionist Natalie Horgan who took time to tell us about local attractions and how to get to them. The food in the restaurant is of a high standard. I would recommend booking a Deluxe room as this gives you access to an exclusive executive lounge.

Good hotel. Very central. Parking excellent. We were there for two nights. Had a standard room, but really good facilities. Good to have a walk-in shower and plenty of toiletries. Would love to look at the luxury rooms because the standard was better than some luxury rooms in other hotels.
