Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Fabulous hotel, excellent location. The staff went above and beyond in being helpful. Rooms were beautifully decorated and comfortable. I would highly recommend. Food was lovely, the glasshouse was an experience and having a cinema is the cherry on top!

Hotel's Favourite
5 stars isn’t enough. Exceptional hotel experience. The hotel staff from the GM Fritz to the customer relations director, Danielle, to the entire staff were exceptional. Every need was attended to with dispatch and a smile. Every accommodation was made including getting us a dinner table, immediately, in a packed dining room on a holiday weekend. The hotel and accommodations are first class. Elegant and immaculate. Breakfast is delicious with multiple options. A special note about Martin, a great asset to this hotel. He was overboard in his assistance to our small group ( 4) from doorman service, baggage handling, suggestions for things to do, and concierge services. He is worth a star.

The hotel is old school luxury with a modern twist! Would recommend to everyone and will return! The views of the city are just beautiful and incredibly dramatic in an icy December morning! The new cocktail bar is just perfect. Staff and welcome were second to none. A magnificent find in the city!

Just give them the 5th star already. From check in to check out and everything inbetween. I stayed 2 years ago and since then the already amazing standard has risen to solid 5 star. From the staff who are just incredible, professional with the perfect balance of fun. Food is amazing we had room service and breakfast in panorama. The view from the terrace, the cinema with cocktails, the bed!!! So comfortable. Absolutely perfection.

This is easily the best value hotel I have stayed in of some time. It is not a budget hotel but is not overly expensive. Everything about it oozes class from the welcome at the door to the check out 3 days later. Location is great and close enough to cents rot Cork to allow us all to walk in and out each day. Staff helpful one and all. Facilities excellent. Definitely the place for me to return to in Cork.

We loved everything about this hotel. It's close walking proximity to the main city center, the free parking on-site, the excellent service, how comfortable the rooms were, how gorgeous the hotel looked inside and out, and their delicious food and drinks. We had plenty of space inside our room and bathrooms, and the beds and bedding were very comfortable. The front desk, concierge, and staff were all excellent and friendly. The hotel was located 10 10-minute walk from the city center and easy to get to and from.

We stayed in Montenotte hotel in November and I must say it was one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had. My wife has recently had some health issues and so I brought her there as a pick me up. When the hotel found out, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. Beautiful views over cork, great food and amazing cocktails in their glass house bar. Can’t fault it, truly amazing. This is our third time there and will definitely be back. Thanks guys.
