I had a fantastic stay at The Montenotte Hotel. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and the views of Cork were amazing, especially from the lounge and restaurant. However, the food options could use some improvement, particularly for gluten-free choices. Overall, it was a nice experience that I would love to repeat.

The location is pretty good, a short downhill walk into the city—though the return can be a bit steep, so catching a taxi back was a smart choice. The hotel sits in a scenic spot that offers stunning views of the area.

My stay at The Montenotte Hotel was generally enjoyable, with standout service and beautiful views enhancing my experience. However, the room size was a surprise, and noise from the hallway was a bit bothersome. The breakfast had excellent options but felt a little pricey for what I expected.

Rooms

8.0

The room was smaller than depicted, though it met our needs. The bed was comfortable, and it had great amenities like a Nespresso machine. However, noise from the corridor was distracting, and our view was disappointing, facing the car park instead of the city.

The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, with helpful service at reception and in the dining areas. David at reception made us feel especially welcome, and the camaraderie among the staff was evident.

Location

The hotel is perched on a hill with stunning views of Cork city. While this location means it's not within walking distance of the city center, taxis are readily available, making it easy to explore.

Dining

The breakfast was extensive and delicious, but at €18 per person, it felt a bit overpriced. The buffet had a good range of pastries and cooked dishes, and the quality of the food was generally high, enhancing our dining experience.

I enjoyed the cinema experience provided by the hotel, which had cozy seating and allowed bringing drinks in. The bar offered beautiful views of the city, although I wished for a broader range of cocktail options.

I recently stayed at The Montenotte Hotel and found many aspects enjoyable, especially the creative decor and amazing breakfast. However, the experience was marred by several service issues like slow dinner service and inconvenience with the apartment access. Overall, while it had its highlights, I left feeling a bit underwhelmed by certain elements.

Location

The hotel is perched on a hill, providing nice views of Cork, but it's a bit out of the way which made getting around a little awkward at times. Navigating to the apartment area was a hassle, requiring multiple staircases.

Breakfast offered a variety of choices and was good, especially the tea served in real china. However, I experienced some delays during dinner service when items I ordered were sold out, which was disappointing.

The pool and gym facilities were well-maintained and enjoyable to use, although there were some restrictions like needing to purchase a swim cap, which felt inconvenient.

My stay at The Montenotte Hotel was a blend of good experiences and some minor frustrations. The hotel embodies a charming atmosphere with stunning views, particularly from the lovely terrace bar. However, there were a few moments where the service could have been faster, especially during busy times, and my room's layout could have been more intuitive. Overall, the hotel has a lot to offer and I'm looking forward to returning, hoping for an even smoother visit next time.

Rooms

My one-bedroom flat was cozy and beautifully decorated, but the room layout was a bit confusing as it required using two different elevators to access the third floor. The bathroom was also quite small with limited fixtures.
