We went to stay in the Oriel Hotel to get away after our daughters Communion, on arrival the manager of the hotel greeted our daughter with a card and a little present which in turn made our daughter feel really special on her day. Apart from that the staff of the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful. Which made us feel very welcome indeed. We would definately stay in the Oriel Hotel in Ballincollig again and i would recommend it to all my friends and family. They really made our weekend enjoyable. :)
