The Montenotte Hotel

The Montenotte Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We loved this property. It was nestled on a hill overlooking Cork and had lovely views from both of its beautiful bar and eating areas. Our room was one of the more modest rooms but was lovely. It was clean comfortable and had a great bathroom and shower. They also left a small bottle of wine for us to enjoy on our arrival which was a lovely touch. The parking was easy and the staff were very helpful and friendly. We had dinner in their main restaurant at night and the food and wine was very nice. We also loved our pre and post dinner drinks on the balcony. They had a concierge that took our bags to our room which was also helpful. This is an exceptional hotel in a place you may not expect. It was such a lovely surprise to us and we would definitely recommend this property."
