I was in for breakfast on the 21st of February and I really enjoyed it, Ann was the waitress and I have to say she made the breakfast 100 times better, the place was very busy and she was working on her own but that didn't stop her she was very chatty and made myself and my wife's breakfast very enjoyable she is a fabulous worker and is a credit to the commons, myself and my wife will 100% be back just to see ann again, Also we could not fault the food it was Very enjoyable can't wait for our next visit :)

Breakfast :)

Fab French toast ann is a pleasure to deal with❤ service was very efficient. Staff were very friendly. Plenty of choices. Would definitely be going back. 🥐🍾🍽🍧🍔🍟🍕🥩🍉🍏🍎🥥🍇🍊🍋🍍🍌🍓🍒🍳🥘🥪🥓

Best French toast in cork

I attended a coffee morning for widows and widowers today as my mom is recently widowed. And I have to say it was a lovely morning. My mom really enjoyed chatting to people in the same situation as her. The staff were exceptional. Especially Ann our waitress. Really looking forward to the next coffee morning on 3rd February. Meeting new friends and the wonderful staff. Thanks again to the commons inn.

Coffee morning

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Located very close to blarney  castle as well. If you are planning to visit cork this is a decent place to stay. Not to far from the city, with access to all the facilities. There is nothing to complain at all during our stay there. 

Good stay

Experience was very good. And the staff at the reception deck and and the breakfast area was excellent and outstanding. I would recommend the commons inn to everyone very good value 10/10. Come back on a regular basics. Feel like home away. Very relaxing and comfortable. Love

Family trip

Stayed for two nights with my partner. Location was good, walking distance to Blackpool Shopping Centre. The room was nice enough, quite clean and bright. Beds were comfy. I liked that extra towels and toilet paper were left outside rooms which requested not to be disturbed, rather than having to request these. It was a nice touch. Shower was a bit of a nightmare, nearly impossible to turn off and the shower door came off the hinges when we opened it. The toilet took about 20 minutes to refill with water, so couldn't be flushed one after the other. Lights behind the bed wouldn't work, and we couldn't turn the lamp on without the main light, so it was either stark brightness or dark all the time. There was also an alarm in the stairway which continuously beeped for the entire two days we were there. Noise from both the road and the corridor was quite loud and, at one stage, other guests let themselves into our room - which I assume was just a room number error, but should not have happened.
Overall, the hotel was average, and could do with a bit more attention to detail.

Nice, but a few issues

The hotel has the feeling of a vacant property.  The distance between the bedrooms and the restaurant accentuates this.  The breakfast was nice but a little haphazard as the buffet area was not ready at 7 am and bits and pieces were added as time went by.

The room was fine but nothing to write home about.  Everything was there and it was comfortable.  Few power outlets where needed.  UHT milk had been opened by a previous guest and had gone sour.  A sign in the bathroom says "don't drink the tap water.  Drink the bottled water provided" ...  no bottled water in room on arrival.

WiFI was horrid and slow.  Not suitable for a business guest.

The rooms were, however, well heated.

Dated hotel

The room was clean but the smell all around the hotel wasn’t pleasant. The hotel needs big refurbishment, especially the restaurant. We went for carvery food at 3:05pm and the waiter told us that closed at 3 o’clock even though in the room menu was saying 4 o’clock. Also his attitude wasn’t pleasant hence we decide to find a more friendly place to eat.

Not a great experience

My partner and I stayed here for one night. The 
room was spacious and clean but the temperature control for the shower in the room wet were given didn't work, meaning we couldn't use the shower. we were given an accessible room which was much smaller and wasn't suited to us as the facilities were geared towards a wheelchair user with the shower not pointing at us. The water didn't drain in the bathroom (wet room), bugs crawled out the wet room drain overnight.  the water in the bathroom wasn't suitable for drinking, and not enough bottles water was provided. 

Cheap and not so much cheerful 

Hotel got cancelled because they gave my rooms to refugees . I only found out because booking.com sent me a message a week before our stay . Couldn't contact the hotel , all my calls went straight to answer machine . I understand that the refugees needed the rooms more than me and my friends but the way it was handled was dreadful . I had to find an alternative a week before we went and had to pay inflated prices for the rooms
