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.

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

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.

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.
