Fodor's "Though she cannot compete in size with the grande-dame hotels of bigger cities, the Imperial, which dates to 1813, plays this role with conviction in Cork society." Full review
Star Service "In a central city center location on the banks of the River Lee...This urban crossbreed provides excellent meeting space as well as one of the city's better spas." Full review
Frommer's "This city center hotel is surprisingly affordable for the amenities it offers...the guestrooms are perhaps a little plain by comparison, and the most basic rooms are small" Full review
