Honestly expected a bit more from a 4-star hotel. The facilities were great and the views exceptional, but service was spotty and the room amenities average.

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.

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.

Staff was nice and helpful. Unfortunately the air in the room was stuffy and needed fresh air. Air conditioner would have made the stay much nicer. Our dinner was very good. There wasn’t enough parking.

Probably the best overall hotel that I've stayed at to date. We were greeted very warmed by Ken. Such a kind and helpful man, my shy kids even felt comfortable asking him questions. The entire staff was very kind and helpful. Always checking on you as you walked by. The property itself is stunning and fairly priced for all the amazing amenities. Can't say enough good thing about this hotel. High praise from the kids too.

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!
