Beautiful view over the river above the city. Easy onsite parking. Fabulous breakfast and cocktail balcony with views over the city. A bit of a walk down to the city, but a quick taxi ride back if needed.

Front office staff at check in gave me a room on the ground floor but as my friend was on the 3rd floor the manager graciously changed my room to the 3rd floor. Very nice room and view. Thanks very much!

Fabulous stay at the Montenotte in Cork. Staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. Rooms were beautifully appointed, with really fun and chic decor; we had lovely views over the city of Cork and environs. Excellent breakfast included and tasty in-house gin for late night cocktails. Easy walk down the hill into city center of Cork and easy to get back to the hotel.

We had a lovely stay at the Montenotte. The rooms were very comfortable with plenty of amenities, although a bit warm and stuffy without air-con, so I found it a bit difficult to sleep. To their credit a fan is provided but they can be a bit noisy. The hotel has beautiful grounds and a nice restaurant and bars. Parking was a bit busy and we did struggle once or twice. Overall we really like the hotel ambiance and decor.

The staff are fantastic in the Montenotte. Couldn’t fault them. Friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. The service was great. Loved the cinema, beautiful decor, gorgeous panorama bar and cocktail lounge. Will definitely be back again.

The staff was fantastic and so accommodating. I had chocolates and water next to the night stand every night. I had issues with my card when I arrived after an overnight flight. I was exhausted after a long flight and arrived around 11 am. They called housekeeping and got my room ready early so that I could rest and told me we would sort out the card after I had time to rest. Unbelievable customer service and all done with a smile. Would definitely stay there again. Great job!

Tale of two rooms

A tale of two rooms, I haven't stayed here for a number of years as it is in my opinion over priced but with a meeting just down the road though I'd give it another try. First room was small, overlooking the car park, heating blasting away (centrally controlled so no option to turn off) air con not working. Hotel quickly sent someone to fix, twice, neither worked. Moved to another room which was fine. The basic rooms are small and very dark, not sure if this is meant to be atmospheric/romantic but is just gloomy in my opinion. Had dinner in the restaurant, again over priced and very dark ( I do understand that they want to highlight the twinkling lights from the city) but when you need your phone torch to read the menu perhaps a bit more lighting is needed! Sorry Montenotte wont be back.
