Fern House, hotel in Cork

Situated in Cork, near Cork Custom House and Cork City Hall, Fern House is a recently renovated property, featuring, a garden and shared lounge.

It was my first stay in such type of property and I was a bit worried about sharing bathroom thing and a room for one person, if it could be cozy as others. And actually it was the best decision to book this place instead of a hotel! I didn’t had any inconvenience with bathroom, everyone was keeping it clean and I never waited. Sometimes I even felt I’m the only one in apartment, it was super quiet. The access to kitchen is super crucial for me rn, as far as I can’t eat many things and it’s hard for me to find food outside. Also I stayed on Christmas week, and most places were closed, but not Asian stores, so simple miso soup with tofu and edamame beans was easy to make there. The apartment looks very new and super clean. My room was super cozy with a lot of storage shelves. It was very warm, I wish my Dublin rent room be like that. And I like the glass water bottle on the table what was super thoughtful. I’m against plastic bottles. The shower is huge and super clean with big mirror with extra light in it what normally u can have only in 5 star hotels. But the biggest star was a neighbor cat who was coming at night to play and watch smth with me. She makes me feel like I’m in real welcoming home. I felt sad to leave this place, it’s really very charming and super comfortable! My host, Àine :) was very helpful and quick with responses during her own holiday! I’m really appreciate that!

    The hotel is very charming, in an old building with a waterfall in the yard. Shops, clubs, pubs and restaurants are nearby, the city centre is 5 min by walk. Aircoach to Dublin in the same street. Breakfast was very good and not expensive. Wlan worked very well, the beds were comfortable. I got a quiet room on request in the 3rd floor (well isolated window). I would definitely stay here again!
