The strong perfume throughout. But read comments above.

Panoramic view of Cork. Nice sized well equipped room and public areas and pleasant helpful staff. I find the scent (diffused throughout) overpowering but staff provided a humidifier in room to tone it down. I was very grateful. Really enjoyed the food at the restaurant. Interesting choices, beautifully presented and fine dining delicious.

Nothing really. Some other hotels are cheaper but Montenotte is serious about high standards and quality.

Lovely, high quality hotel with standards of cleanliness, comfort, caring and professional staff etc.

What's not to like!

We got upgraded to a suite that was incredible! LOVED this hotel! It's out of the main city and quiet with incredible views of the city and countryside beyond. Staff couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. Great food and facilities. Enjoyed sitting on the terrace in the evening with drinks and food and the spectacular city views!

The Swimming pool can be busy as outside members can use this club .

Lovely view from the dining area. Great sunken Victorian garden with sculptures. Excellent facilities. Swimming pool. Good ambience.

There were maintenance issues which were not addressed although we kept asking e.g. the dishwasher leaked all over the floor every time we used it.

The one bedroomed apartment was well equipped although a little smaller than expected. Loved the restaurant and the cinema. The location is excellent - out of Cork but walkable into the town. Very good value for money. Staff were very friendly.

Long walk to town, not much space on dresser to plug in hair dryer and dry hair.. not enough electric plugs.. walk to reception from our room was confusing

Nice view , big room , great breakfast , staff very pleasant and helpful

Had to wait for room to be cleaned.

The air-conditioning doesn't worked the first night and the room had a terrible garden view. I recommend to book the city view. Next time I also would do a direct hotel booking. Might result in better rooms for the same price.

Nice location and view. We could change the room after the first night. The bar and in-house cinema is a nice add on

It was so unusual and had everything you’d need to relax for a few days

A couple of small things: we felt the staff (door staff) were a bit “overly nice” in a way that came across as a little forced, like they were trained to take too much interest in our personal business. The receptionist also gave us the wrong timings for the cinema and breakfast, though thankfully the card in the room had the correct info which was really handy. Dinner was very expensive, which is the main reason we didn’t dine in. These issues were very minor and didn't effect our stay.

We made full use of everything – the cinema, jacuzzi, pool, sauna and steam room – and loved every bit of it!! Our stay was for our anniversary, and the hotel made it extra special by leaving a handwritten note saying congratulations along with a lovely tart dessert. The room was fabulous, spotlessly clean, and the gardens were absolutely spectacular. Having a drink in the “Glass House” at night was such a memorable experience. This is a truly beautiful hotel, clearly very well cared for, and the staff really make you feel looked after. It definitely deserves a 5-star rating – we were genuinely shocked to learn it’s only rated as 4!

Room was a bit outdated, bathroom small and shower in bath. And still 350 euro without breakfast.

The atmosphere on the terrace, the glasshouse, and bar was very good. Super helpful (Mexican) receptionist.

In order to have the garden grounds and whatnot they do, they are a bit out of town. We didn't have a car, and so ended up Ubering to and from the town most of the time. (Alternatively, its a nice healthy walk).

The staff at the Montenotte were helpful from checkin, to helping us find things, to generally just giving us a good lay of the land. For instance, they explained the various hotel amenities in a way that seemed like they weren't just regurgitating a set of facts for each guest. The room was quiet, decorated well, the temperature was maintained well, etc. The grounds were really nice, and while we didn't try the restaurant or spa, we had a really nice drink at the Glass House. It was really nearly the perfect base for our trip.

It was a long walk to get down into town, which was OK since we had a car

Full service resort type hotel. Beautiful grounds, great fitness facility and cocktail terrace

Breakfast service was very slow. Took almost 25 minutes and 3 reminders to get a hot breakfast order of an omelette. The omelette was overcooked and burnt. Maybe the chef was not there for the 7:00am breakfast shift 🤔🤔🤨🤨

Great location, clean property with excellent facilities. Staff very attentive and friendly

Beautifully designed hotel. Staff was incredibly welcoming. We are looking forward to come back.

The food on the terrace could have been better though. The Caesar Salad was dripping on dressing but it did not taste like a Caesar dressing the sardines and an acidic taste were missing. Because of the beautiful weather the waitress on the terrace was totally overwhelmed. There is a beautiful terraced Fountain garden. I wish they had lounge chairs there to relax in the afternoon. Our room had the shower in the bathtub. We don’t like that, way too dangerous.

The exterior and interior design was very well done. The room size was decent and the bed was very comfy. We got lucky with the weather and enjoyed two wonderful evenings on the terrace either for cocktails or dinner? It was great to see that a lot of locals use the summer nights to come there for cocktails as well. Dinner at the restaurant was delicious. They have a movie theater with big comfy chairs and one night we (partly) watched Interstellar. We haven’t been to the movie in a few years so it was a fun activity.
