My recent stay at the hotel was nothing short of delightful. The views over Cork were absolutely breathtaking, especially enjoyed from the outdoor terrace. The facilities were excellent, particularly the indoor pool and spa, which provided a perfect retreat after a long day of exploring. However, I found accessing certain areas a bit confusing, and the location being quite hilly made transport to the city center a bit of a hassle.
Rooms
The room was spacious, immaculate, and featured a stunning view from the balcony, making it a perfect retreat. Rating: 10
Service
The service provided by the staff was truly remarkable; they were genuinely helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. Rating: 10
Location
Perched on a hill, the hotel's location allows for tranquil views over the city, but it can be a bit of a trek back to the center, especially for those unfamiliar with hilly terrain. Rating: 7
Dining
While the breakfast and dining options were good, I felt there could have been a bit more variety on the menu. Rating: 8
Facilities

The Montenotte Hotel offered a lovely experience during our 30th anniversary trip, with its upscale ambiance and beautiful city views. The attention to detail and personalized touches, like a bottle of champagne in our room, were thoughtful and added to our stay. However, we found ourselves spending so much time exploring Cork that we barely got to enjoy the hotel's amenities, particularly the pool's limited hours for children, which was a disappointment.

We had breakfast in the dining room, which offered a decent selection of tasty options, but we didn’t have time to try the restaurant at night. I wish we had.

The hotel has a nice pool and a fitness center, but the pool's restrictions on children's hours limited our enjoyment. It would be nice to have more flexibility.

I had a pleasant stay, with beautiful views and impressive amenities, but the challenges with access roads and underwhelming dining options left some room for improvement.

Overall, I would consider returning, especially for the leisure facilities.

My stay was fantastic! I was thoroughly impressed by the gorgeous modern decor and the overall clean atmosphere. Each encounter with the staff reaffirmed their commitment to excellent service, as they went out of their way to ensure all my needs were met. However, the pool was a bit colder than I would have liked, especially for families. Despite this, the dining options were exceptional, making up for it with delicious meals and outstanding views of the city.
