The Kingsley Hotel

Hey everyone last night I stayed at the Kingsley hotel in Cork it was my first time there. I have to say it was a lovely treat from the moment we checked in to the checking out. I always say that the staff can either make or break an establishment and they definitely make it here at the Kingsley. Rochie checked us in he was a true gent he even gave us a complementary upgrade he also gave us v.i.p Spa passes and a voucher for the Spa. He was very friendly and welcoming made us feel right at home.

The hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas with fairy lights and trees and warm roaring fire at reception.

Our Room
We Stayed in a deluxe double room which had a king size bed. Flat screen tv,fridge,tea/coffee making facilities and lovely cozy robes and slippers for us. The bathroom had a double vanity are with both bath and shower.

The Spa
The ladies at the Spa were lovely giving us the run through of the facilities I couldn't use much of them being pregnant but still enjoyed what I could. We got out robes and flip flops and headed down to the relaxation room which had heated loungers with calming water fountain to listen and drift off to . The lighting was a cool blue and warming yellow on the other side they also have a colour therapy room with loungers you can avail of. The Spa offers

• Ice Shower (This re-energizing shower helps to close the pores after a heat treatment while also stimulating blood flow and therefore helping rid the body of toxins.)
• Aromatherapy Steam Baths ( Breathe in the herbal infused steam and allow it to permeate your body as you exhale built up toxins. Its recommmend that you use one of the cooling showers between all heat treatments.)
• Laconium(Begin your thermal suite experience in the Laconium. The gentle heat prepares the body for relaxation.)
• Finnish Sauna(This traditional heat treatment with temperatures between 90 and 100 degrees help the body purify itself.)
• Chromotherapy (Also known as color therapy. The color therapy room has been exclusively designed to create an oasis of tranquility using warmth and light to help you completely unwind and feel all daily worries drift away.

They also have a Jacuzzi and Outdoor pool overlooking the River Lee. They offer a great selection of teas and fruit infused water to stay hydrated. They also have a large gym with lots of equipment to get a great session in. Unfortunately the Spa was booked out but I am going back next week to enjoy one of their Maternity packages.

• Juices (Orange,Apple,Cranberry)

They also have cooked to order breakfast menu I order the French Toast it was delicious. We sat by the window overlooking the River Lee it was beautiful and so relaxing I didn't want to leave. The staff again welcomed us with a smile and made us feel comfortable.
