Great little hotel in Cork that was perfect for a visit into the city and for the Munster 100 road races. Only thing that let it down was the lack of parking for the bike, although no problems it was parked on the main road. Excellent breakfast and really friendly staff.


Munster 100 road races

The location is PRIME if you are visiting Cork. It’s only a couple minute walk from the train station and about 10 mintutes from the central bus station. We never had to rent a vehicle but if you do, Hertz is just around the corner! 

We found it odd that our room floor was slanted (seems to be a common thing in old buildings in Ireland) but the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. There were not a lot of TV stations. However, the Wifi works great so you may be able to access your shows from your phone... OR you could take up the lost art of experiencing life instead of just watching it. ;)  Urssella (sorry if I misspelled your name) makes a great Irish breakfast. It was the best meal I had my entire trip of the UK and Ireland. Thanks for all your help!

Great Location

I was in Cork for a stag party. In advance, I requested an early breakfast and check out on Sunday morning which was accommodated by Ursula without any problem.

The B&B is a two minute walk from the train station which is ideal It is also about a 15 minute walk into the centre of Cork so location was ideal for me. 
Check in and payment was prompt on arrival. I had space in the back yard to leave my bike which was great since it was off street. My room was on the first floor, up a stairway and at the rear of the building. My room was clean, fresh and welcoming. It had the standard hotel-like facilities (lockable door, fire escape plan (which I was show by Janeta), en suite, fresh towels, TV, kettle and coffee/tea and a wardrobe). Bed was queen sized and comfortable.The room was quiet but as I said, room was at the rear.

I requested a vegitarian version of the full Irish breakfast was delicious, prepared by Janeta who was professional and welcoming.

Can recommend this property as a comfortable, ideally located place which  value for money.

One night stay, ticks all the boxes

My main complaint with this place is that it neither looks nor feels clean. The bedroom was so dusty I had to take an antihistamine tablet to stop sneezing.
The mattress cover, under the sheet, actually had mold on it. But this was hardly the cause of the sloping bed.
This is unacceptable in 2018, and the place is like a throwback to the 1980s.

The manageress was very nice and helpful but she couldn't make up for the grim condition of the place.  It needs (IMO) serious investment/refurbishment. 

Time travel

Number Forty-Eight is a comfortable, if plain, B&B right near Kent Station in the heart of Cork. Housed in a 200-year old building, it met our needs perfectly and simply. The room was sufficient and even though it offered a view of the train station, it was surprisingly quiet. The host, Ursula, was delightful and our breakfast was tasty and sufficient. Number Forty-Eight is not fancy, but it is comfortable and pleasant.
