Stayed at the Best Western, Montenotte for three nights over the May Bank Holiday weekend. We had a very enjoyable stay, and were delighted with the hotel facilities. The leisure centre with pool, sauna etc is top class. The staff were helpful and courteous at all times, and provided a great service, even though the hotel was very busy.
The hotel gave great value for money, and we would love to return again.

Stayed at the Montenotte, Cork Apr. 20th -23rd. A family gathering of 8. Even though some of us arrived early our rooms were ready. We had a very enjoyable stay. The staff was excellent, very friendly and helpful. Rooms were spacious and comfortable and food was excellent. It’s a downhill walk into the city (about 15min.) but we used taxis – more convenient and just as cheap when you consider the hassle of finding parking and the cost of it. Average cost of Taxi €8. We all enjoyed our stay and would have no hesitation to return.

It was a nice hotel but I did not really enjoy the stay. When we arrived the room was not ready and it took almost two hours until we eventualy got the key. We had a 2yr old and a 3mnth old with us so it was very stressful tryin to keep them calm and quiet as we waited for the room everytime qwe asked we were told another 10 mins if we had of known it would take 2hours we could have brought the kids off and went back in a while which would of caused a lot less stress.

We stayed here on Saturday last the 7th April 2012 and found the all round service to be excellent from the pleasant receptionist who took a genuine interest in our wellbeing to the attentive waitress who served us breakfast the following morning. In fairness to all staff the level of cleanliness was noted immediately in both the bedroom and bathroom and really I can find no negatives. Will definately return when needing a room in Cork City again. The Montenotte offers a really pleasant walk to Cork City centre as it is all downhill although perhaps the same might not be said about the walk back if you are so inclined. Personally I would recommend this hotel to anyone as excellent value for money.

Our stay with you was for 2 nights Thursday and Good Friday and not for pleasure as we were attending a funeral. We found the staff friendly and helpful particularly the Reception area. Hotel a little tired and in need of decoration but on the whole clean and comfortable. Would respectfully suggest that new pillows are needed (I went out and bought my own). We enjoyed a swim in the very good pool/gym area. Food in the dining room was good and breakfast had all we needed. I have stayed before and would again. Thank you for looking after us. Phil

My partner and i stayed for two nights in March at the Montenotte . As soon as we arrived the staff were very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay . The rooms were spacious ,clean and the bed was very comfortable. The walk into the city took about 10 minutes and was down hill all the way but going back can be a bit tougher on anyone with walking difficulties. The breakfast was very nice and there was plenty of choice.We would recommend the Montenotte hotel and look forward to staying there again in the near future.

Stayed here a few times before and enjoyed those. This time however on our second night we did not get much sleep as a large crowd of youths staying on the same floor were messing and running along the hallway. Their language was vile and I had to approach them myself to remind them that there was other people in the hotel who would like to sleep.

We had a great stay Saturday night, 3rd March 2012. The was a few functions on in the hotel which created a great buzz and lovely atmosphere. Funnily enough you would have not know there were so many people downstairs as it was very quiet up where the rooms were. We had dinner in the restaurant and were not rushed from our table. We were able to sit down ,relax and enjoy our meal and a nice bottle of wine (the seafood chowder was devine) There was a musician in the bar that played a good variety of music too. I couldn't fault anything about our stay last Saturday night. Breakfast the next morning was great too.

Convenient hotel, about 10/15min downhill walk to Cork city quays, a taxi back costs about 8 euro. I wouldn’t consider it 4 star, it is closer to a 3 star standard just because of small details such as a broken handle on our window, no free water in room etc but the staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was very good. Overall a good choice for a city break.

Had 2 night stay with dinner & breakfast included at the Montenotte. Lone traveller. Was delighted with the reception book in/out. All Staff that I encountered were cheerful polite and most helpful. My room was lovely size for me on my own, have to say my husband is a big broad shouldered man and I feel he would have found the bathroom too compact, however for moi on her own it was just dandy. Bed was sooooooo comfy. Pool/sauna etc right nerxt door and just lovely to use. My only only disappointment was the food. I am not at all fussy and really feel am easy to please in this area, however even the soup was pretty bland. I hate giving negative feedback as I think those that read the review concentrate on that instead of over all view. Over all I felt wellcomed, found all staff helpfjul, would both recommend and stay here again myself in the future. Anne the manager was just brill, couldn't be more nice. Oh by the way, the hotel is up a very steep hill, which on a dry crisp feb morning was a pleasure to walk down.A bus can bring you up so far on your return, and although for a not so fit over 50 the rest of journehy up hill was...........good for me..............it might have easily killed me off. Ha ha. Wish I could do it every day. Stay and enjoy..........I did

We recently stayed at the Montenotte and had a very enjoyable stay. The room was very spacious (2 double beds and there was plenty of room for a travel cot) and we had a lovely view over the city. The buffet breakfast was lovely, with a good choice. The hot breakfast was delicious and was freshly cooked on both mornings. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. We made use of the swimming pool, which my son really enjoyed. Although the hotel is on a hill, we were able to walk down to the city and back which was very nice. We had a 4 year old (walking) and a baby in a pram so the uphill part was a bit slow going, but very do-able! All in all, we had a lovely stay and would definitely return to this hotel if we were visiting Cork again.

Just back from a lovely stay at the Montenotte. Absolutely delighted with our choice, the hotels interior is very modern and the hotel offers a very relaxing ambience. The bedrooms are very contemporary and the beds are massive. The bar is really cosy with leather sofas and has a brilliant view over the city. The staff are extremely friendly and will help you in any way that thay can. Although the hotel is a good fifteen minute walk from the city center this didn't bother us as we walked in during the day and at night time we got taxi's which were plentiful. Overall a very pleasant stay and I would definitely return.

I would definitely not rate this hotel as 4* more like a 3* but it is still a great hotel to stay in when visiting Cork.
Location is good just 10 minutes by bus or taxi or 25 minutes walk and all down hill and one must visit Cork City it really
is one of the great cities to visit in Ireland and especially the English Market.
Rooms are big and views over Cork City are great. breakfast and dinners are great and food selection is good.
I will surely be back again to visit Cork City and will stay again at this hotel.

Stayed in Montenotte 2 nights B&B with 2 evening meals.
Rooms were a good size with 2 double beds in them.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Meals were lovely. Yes, breakfast is buffet style with the usual selection but if you ask for extras they have no problems with that. We asked for tomatoes, mushrooms and poached egg to go on our breakfast plate and what arrived was a meal in itself.
Music only on a Saturday night. It wasn't fantastic, but it better than nothing.
Word of warning!!! Very steep hill up to hotel. It takes approx 7 minutes to walk down it but about 15 to 20 minutes to walk up it at a leisurely pace. But good exercise. You can also get a taxi for about €7.
Also no bath mat in the bath so it can be very slippery when taking a shower.
I wouldn't class this as a 4* hotel but I would definitely stay here again. Excellent value for what we paid.

The service at this hotel was excellent. The door didn't lock on the first room we had and the porter was there within minutes and we were given another, and nicer room immediately. The women at the front desk were always friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and we had a room service dinner that came quickly, was still hot and was delicious. Although clean, the rooms and public spaces did seem a little worn. It was very busy though, so that would happen. The rugby world cup was on while we were there and they had the tv going and breakfast set up in the bar area for people who wanted to watch. I don't think many hotels would do that.

We stayed in The Montenotte Hotel In Cork. The room was clean and warm but small, especially with a travel cot in it. The food in the bar was beautiful and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking was free which is a huge bonus for a city hotel. The toilet had a pump flush which was sometimes difficult to flush. There was a daily rate of €6 for the use of the hotel's WIFI which I felt was very miserable, it should automatically be free. Overall, we had a pleasant stay, with a great price and convenient location.

We dined in the restaurant on Fri & Sat night and food was excellent, served in timely manner by lovely staff. Breakfast was very nice too. Check in and out was efficient and friendly, sadly we didn't get to try the leisure centre as we were just too busy. I would recommend this and would stay here again if in Cork. The only minor downside was rooms are smaller than other hotels we stayed in but I would not let that put me off staying again

We stayed at the Montenotte Hotel for one night of the August Bank Holiday weekend. What a lovely stay we had.
Valarie the girl who checked us in was so friendly and helpful gave us a beautiful room to the front of the hotel with a fantastic view. All the staff were most helpful and when the iron did not work in the room (twice) they had no problem in brining us up another one. We did not have dinner in the hotel but the breakfast was very good. A bit short of some food on the buffet but it did arrive out in the end - but the food was very tasty. The bar also has a fantastic view and is very nicely furnished. We would have no problem in spending another few nights at this hotel. Enjoyed our short stay very much Thanks to all.

Myself and my husband recently stay here for a weekend break, overall the hotel is very good lovely big rooms and very clean all the staff were very helpful and friendly my only negative about the place was breakfast on both mornings. it was buffet style and each morning when we arrived down we had to wait a while for the platters to be refilled, the staff on duty were doing their best but they were clearly understaffed in my eyes. they hotel was very busy so i thought they should have been better prepared for the morning rush of breakfast.

We had a 2 night stay at the Montenotte just recently and would recommend the hotel as a pleasant experience.The staff are friendly and helpful, our room was clean and comfortable as was the hotel.We were there on a package deal as a pensioner and tight budget restraints so the 2 nights B and B and Dinner for the 2 nights was excellent value, considering the meals we had and the overall experience one couldn't but thank the staff for a very enjoyable trip.If you are visiting Cork for the first time do visit the English Market and amble through the stalls and see the produce on offer it's a foodies delight.

A very average hotel with poor customer service. Requested a room with a view and was assured at check in it was lovely only to be faced with a large wall outside the window. The room was ok but the bed was 2 singles very obviously stuck together and I could clearly hear the conversation of the person in the room next door.
Breakfast was nice but unfortunately it was poorly staffed. Asked twice for tea and toast and when it finally came we had finished out breakfast.
All in all a very forgettable stay.

lovely hotel only 1 gripe the same menu for the 3 nights we stayed and no smoking area as such you had to go outside the hotel or off the bar which was annoying.

We only stayed one night. I dont think this hotel merits 4 stars at all. We booked a double room and given a twin room with a shower for a disabled person. Hotel is dated, carpets are dated and skirtings in hallways shabby plus a lot of walking to get to the room we were changed to. Wouldnt stay there again.

Had a great time with Family, the hotel is well located and good value for money, the only issues we had was on Good Friday there was no fish on the breakfest menu which was a bit strange. Other than that room was very clean, staff very friendly.

I was very dissapointed with my stay at the Montenotte on the 15th and 16th of april, we were kept awake untill 4am in the morning by a party of about 30 unsupervised children running around the corridors shouting and slamming doors while the gurdians drank in the bar downstairs, there seems to be no policy in place in the hotel to controll unsociable guests. Although the staff were trying thier best to deal with the situation it seemed to be completely out of there controll, and we had to deal with the situation ourselves. All of the staff were brilliant that were working that weekend during the day and night, but after reading other guests reviews the noise situation seems to be a reacurring problem here for guests and the hotel doesn't seem to be taking any action to prevent this from happening. I have never ever experienced anything like it in another hotel. There were other minor petty complaints like worn carpets,a 1cm gap gap in the window when it was closed, cold breakfast, poor tv reception, ect but I would not stay here again on the grounds that you are not guarenteed a good nights sleep.

This was our fourth stay at the Montenotte Hotel and it certainly won't be our last,the staff and most importantly the chef's are top quality,the bedrooms are airy and spacious and comfortable and the leisure facility is excellent with its wonderful pool,steam-room, sauna and gym.If I was to find a fault it would be the lack of directional sign posts for those not too familiar with Cork City,knowing the huge cost that local Co. Council's put on these sign-posts it is understandable to keep them to a minimum.Keep up the good work,Regards,Pat Clancy.

Really nice hotel Long walk from City. Number 7 or 8 bus stop is a five minute walk away from hotel and will take you into the City. Recommend buying Day saver ticket - that way you can travel to and from hotel as many times as you want.

The Montenotte hotel was a nice place. Certainly nothing too fancy, but nice.
Clean, with a lovely pool and well equipped gym in the basement. Staff were helpful and friendly, but not over intrusive. The room had everything I needed and was comfortable and a nice size. Carpets were faded, and worn through in a couple of places, which gave a bad first impression, so I'd love to see that changed as its really selling the place down, but apart from that, it was lovely.
I was disappointed (and left out of pocket) by the fact that reception staff advised me that it was impossible to get a bus to my destination without changes and delays. There was, in fact, a direct bus within a five minute walk which cost %u20AC2.50 per day as opposed to the $28 (before tips) that a return taxi cost for the first two days until I figured out the busses.

All worked out as planned no hidden extras great value.Only snag our room was at the start of the corridor and there was a wedding on the first night which meant a lot of noisy people passed our door until very early the next morning.Otherwise very pleased.

OK, but the room was not of a standard you expect from a 4 star hotel. The thermostat in the bathroom was not working, giving only boiling watyer in the shower...Not nice if you want to washy your hair!
Most of the carpets in the hotel need to be changed.. But in the adds, they say the hotel has rexcently been refurbished...

Room was ok, but bed was TINY! was like a large single bed, for a double room in a 4* hotel?? Not good. Food was ok in restaurant but you had to pay for your veg and side potatoes which were way over priced . And also dont avail of the masseaus they have on the website , he is not professional at all, had an appointment and he messed us about big time. Over all not a bad experience, breakfast was buffet which was good.
