Holy Smoke in Cork

30/10/2024: I can't share the positive reviews. We booked 5 nights there and as a thank you we were given a very old-fashioned room with mold in the bathroom. Everything looked different when we booked. After complaining, we were allowed to change - to an identical room with a little less mold. There were only lamps in the room (one of them broken) with dark lampshades - no ceiling light - which is why it was always dark in the room. The room was on the ground floor and you could easily see the bed from the parking lot. The heating knocked at night and it was still always cold. Of course there was no air conditioning either. We will not be returning to the Montenotte Hotel and feel it was an expensive experience... The Motion Health Club, the panoramic restaurant and the spa are really good, hence still 3 stars.

26/10/2024: We requested early checkin, and even on a very busy weekend we got it! Staff are so friendly and helpful. Could not recommend this place more! A walk up a big hill to get here but taxis and buses are easily available.
