Montenotte Bistro in Cork

My wife and I stayed at the Montenotte Hotel in Cork this past weekend, as we traveled from the States to Ireland for a family friend's wedding. The hotel provided excellent service and an amazing experience. In particular, Jess with the concierge's desk was outstanding: She coordinated travel to and from Dublin to Cork for us and gave us great guidance and service throughout our entire stay. The overall physical plant of the hotel was beautiful; with a picturesque vista from multiple verandas / dining venues. The food was excellent, and the hotel has a great bar scene. It's also conveniently located close to the center of the city, but it still is tucked away in an alcove away from traffic and noise. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Cork in the future. Ask for a room with a view from the hill. It is stuning. James Tierney Tang & Melissa Marovich-Tang New York City, USA

Lovely balcony area for breakfast and evening cocktails, very comfortable bed and relaxing vibes. My air con was tricky to get working, but a perfect stay beyond that!

A Truly Exceptional Stay at The Montenotte Hotel We recently had the immense pleasure of spending a week at The Montenotte Hotel in Cork, and from the moment we arrived, it was clear this was going to be a special experience. Nestled in a splendid setting overlooking the city, the hotel exudes both elegance and charm, with a unique character that blends luxury and comfort effortlessly. Our stay in the woodland suites was nothing short of magical. Surrounded by nature and designed with impeccable taste, these suites offer a peaceful retreat while still being just minutes from the heart of Cork. Every detail, from the plush furnishings to the tranquil ambiance, reflected the highest standards. The facilities throughout the hotel are first-class — from the serene spa and stylish rooftop bar to the in-house cinema and well-equipped gym. However, what truly elevated our experience was the exceptional service we received. A heartfelt thank you goes to Danielle and her incredible team, who went above and beyond to ensure every moment of our stay was perfect. Their attentiveness, warmth, and personal touches made us feel genuinely valued and cared for. Dining at the Panorama Restaurant was another highlight. Aptly named, it offers breathtaking views over Cork city, making every meal a visual and culinary delight. The food was consistently outstanding — fresh, creative, and beautifully presented. We came to The Montenotte with very high expectations, and yet they were not only met but completely exceeded. The level of care, attention to detail, and the genuine hospitality we experienced left a lasting impression. We left feeling truly special, already planning our return. If you're looking for a hotel experience that combines luxury, warmth, and unforgettable views, The Montenotte Hotel is second to none. Highly recommended!

Difficult road access for American drivers....be patient. View is stunning. The service personell are the best of any hotel I've stayed, id give a 5 star just for the service. Standard Rooms dont have a refrigerator or dresser but otherwise are excellently appointed. There is heat and a/c which many accommodations in Europe are without. Typical standard room is a double single, what americans call a king. Upgradef rooms available. Spa onsite... book in advance online. Terrace, restaurant, and pub on-site. Craft pub and wine restaurant share a building 500 meters down the hill. Lifts for the handicapped. If you meet Ken at the door, it will be a minute before you get to the front desk as he will find all you preferences and needs to make your stay enjoyable.

Tuve el placer de visitar aquí para el almuerzo. Me encantó el menú y el personal me pareció muy atento, lo que realmente hace la diferencia. Hubo un retraso en el plato principal que se sirve, pero nos ofrecieron una bebida como compensación. La comida era increíble cuando IT llegó. Definitivamente volveré. Muy agradable experiencia.

Had an incredible stay at the Montenotte Hotel – easily one of the best hotel experiences I’ve had in Ireland. The views over Cork are stunning, the design is chic and inviting, and every detail has clearly been thought through. A special shout-out to Erin, who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable – so warm, helpful, and professional. She truly made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Can’t wait to return!

What a beautiful hotel in the City of Cork! My wife and I had a lovely stay. We really enjoyed the grounds and pool. Everyone was incredibly hospitable. Ken at the door had great recommendations!

The boutique hotel was lovely up on a hill. We were surprised by the location since we drove there and the drive up was narrow and turned to a single lane for two ways. It could take a bit of time climbing up there and down depending on traffic. The service staff were professional and nice. They helped with our luggage. Was slightly disappointed with the cinema experience. The show was lagging and it was hard to find someone to fix the screening issues. But the seats were luxurious and comfortable - they even have options for us to order popcorns and drinks. Would be a perfect date night if the screening was mended by someone. The Glasshouse is absolutely stunning with outdoor fireplace and when it lit up at night - it looks picturesque.

This is hands down the best hotel I've ever stayed at. The staff was incredibly nice, the food was of a quality I'd never known could be possible, the grounds were well kept, and each area had it's own feeling. I had one of these best cocktails at The Glasshouse. I didn't get a chance to check out the cinema but they had a great listing of daily films (new and classic).

El hermoso restaurante en el Montenotte Hotel en Cork es mi restaurante favorito en cualquier lugar de Irlanda. La comida es siempre de primera calidad y el personal muy profesional. Hay una vista panorámica del puerto de Cork y los hermosos jardines victorianos debajo de los cuales todo se suma al disfrute de la comida en este magnífico restaurante. En mi reciente visita me trataron como una reina. Rohan, el chef vegano muy talentoso, me creaba platos fantásticos cada noche que eran una delicia para comer. Él y el resto del personal de catering me mimaron mientras estaba allí. Muchas gracias a todos. Muchas gracias también a Ken, el conserje muy acogedor, que amablemente me acompañó a mi mesa. Una experiencia fantástica de principio a fin.
