Talbot Hotel Cork  

In Ballincollig, Co. Cork — on the edge of Cork city and minutes from Ballincollig Shopping Centre and the historic Gunpowder Mills; about a 15-minute drive to University College Cork and Blarney Castle, and roughly 16 km from Cork Airport.

Around 100 guestrooms and suites blend modern comfort with practical touches — flat-screen/LCD TVs, in-room safes, air conditioning, coffee/tea makers, showers and hairdryers; family and accessible room options are available and the vibe mixes relaxed leisure with a lively bar scene.

Swim in the indoor pool, soothe muscles in the hot tub or steam room, and keep active in the health club; concierge services, babysitting (surcharge), picnic and barbecue areas, free self-parking and complimentary Wi‑Fi round out the stay.

A business centre, three meeting rooms, express check-out and high-speed internet make this a practical pick for meetings and corporate stays.

Grab a drink or hearty plate at the lively bar and bistro serving bar food and local Irish flavours (live entertainment on weekends), pop into the coffee shop/café, order 24-hour room service, or enjoy full breakfasts served on weekdays 7:00–10:00 and weekends 7:00–10:30 (for a fee).
