    A quick 10min walk / 5 min taxi:

    Clarion Hotel (4 Star)
    Hayfield Manor Hotel (5 Star)
    Imperial Hotel (3/4 Star)

    had a makeover recently with the help of an RTE show. Never stayed there myself but the pub is cool enough.

    It's closed now I believe. Unless it reopened this week just gone.

    It was closed but I passed the other day and it looked like it might, possibly, have reopened.

    "Hopefully not too expensive "... probably the 3 most expensive in Cork!

    My own recommendation - maybe the LV/Windsor Hotel or An Brú (both MacCurtain St) - check out tripadvisor for reviews first.

    '' where is the best place to stay close to the Opera house? ''

    just giving him more options - you'd be surprised with the value in the above 3 recommendations.

    In fairness Hayfield Manor isn't remotely close to the Opera House.

    If the OP doesn't mind self catering then the Cornmarket Apartments (above TK Maxx) could be ideal. I know that I saw them advertising nightly rates a while back. I'll try to find out and post up the details here.

    This place is about a 10 minute walk & should be reasonable enough.

    Yup Maldron is murder for parking, their car park is tiny and the surrounding streets are packed. Should be grand though if you get a space and are happy to leave it there for however long you are down. No parking at Windsor or An Brú by the way, options I mentioned earlier. Lancaster Lodge as someone mentioned earlier is actually quite nice, that's were we put all visiting staff on short-term stays. About a ten minute walk to opera house. Alternatively there are loads of B and Bs up near University College Cork, all of who have their own driveways and parking.

    edit: actually there is a 24 hr car park near the MacCurtain st. options, can check what cost is for you later if you want when I'm passing.
