Cork Hotels near Cork Vision Centre

Pros: Old world charm and very polite staff

Pros: Facilities

Cons: The hotel is hard to find. Even the GPS struggled to get us there. Old world atmosphere, with some unusual and welcome additions; a bottle of whisky at the reception desk to parch the thirst and ease the frustration of locating the place. Another fun touch, a putter and play practice green in the room. It is a nice place but would I stay there again? probably not. It's the little things that matter in a hotel and the dinning reception left us cold. We made dinner reservations and showed up on time, appropriately dressed, only to be kept waiting while others streamed by, were welcomed, and seated. Eventually,We were placed in a back room at what must have been the worst table in the place, center stage, traffic area in a room surrounded by cozy booths. The Food and service excellent, but the second rate treatment left a bad taste. So we move on, to a better experience somewhere else.

Pros: The rooms were beautiful, clean, and spacious. We arrived early, got a room quickly, and even were upgraded to a suite just like that. The staff treated us like queens and kings, making us feel like part of their family. Everyone was cheerful and helpful during our stay, and the bartenders were eager to talk about local places to see and shop at. A highlight indeed for our Ireland trip.

Pros: Excellent room. Good room facilities. Great view (main hotel is on top of a hill with extensive views over Cork).

Cons: Not a dislike really but important information to know in advance. Most of the parking locations seem to be at the bottom of the hill, and there is limited parking at the same altitude as the main hotel (in front of hotel) due to the layout. There does not appear to be any lift from lower parking zone (back of hotel) to main level. The website does not point this out in particular. So If you have a medical condition that makes climbing difficult, contact the front desk and they will help you to get a good parking space - the staff are very helpful.

Cons: I booked an executive room for a one night stay to escape the mad life running around after 5 kids with my girlfriend. While the room was nice it was quiet small and over looking the car park. Not very executive to be honest at €320 for B+B. We decided to ask for a better room and the front of house team couldn't of been any nicer. After a quick gin at the bar we were relocated to room 325. Absolutely stunning. Dave was flawless in his care of us. I run my own buisness and I can say hands down that every buisness that deals with the public needs a Dave front row center. The rest of the hotel is spectacular and it is now our favourite escape hotel in Cork. We will certainly return and I'll be booking room 325 regardless of cost. The views alone were priceless. Thank you for a magnificent all be it a short break. Regards, Alan Foley

Pros: Beautiful and different hotel. Excellent staff and amenities. Free cinema showing every night with complimentary popcorn. You can also take drinks from the bar in. I used the gym and you also got a towel to use for free. Staff gave us extra water on exit. We didn't use the restaurant but what other people were eating looked great.

The large back deck featured a glorious view of the city and night sky. The food was very good and reasonably priced. The staff was extra friendly and helpful.

Cons: Montenotte is a perfect hotel for anyone wanting a classy hotel with a beautiful view. However, even though not far from town, the narrow roads are not suitable for walking. Hence, folks wanting to walk into town may not find this hotel to be the best.

Pros: Facilities of hotel incl. comfort plus location very good.

Cons: Ability of restaurant+ chefs to manage gluten free breakfast for all 3 guests 0 in spite of giving them advance notice & speaking with the manager after the first breakfast.

Pros: This was my second time staying in this hotel. It's absolutely marvellous! Great view, spacious living room and terrace. The bedroom is full equipped, also, the quality of the samples (shampoo, body wash & milk) is top! Included their packaging!

Pros: Location was great

Cons: Lift is just too old and slow for modern purposes - pretty much unacceptable these days.

Cons: We had a room overlooking the river and expected it to be quiet. However, noise from street cleaners, who started power washing at 7 AM one morning, and contractors who made a deafening noise repairing something outside between 1- 2.30 AM the next night ruined a good nights’ sleep.

Cons: N/A

Pros: Room was comfortable and the location was fairly close to shopping. Rooms had great WiFi and charging options. The food in the bar and the cider options were really good.

Pros: Lunch on arrival Friday great value and staff so friendly, .great view from our room on new pedestrian bridge . Our daughter was also staying down the corridor she was visiting from Boston on business .

Pros: Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Room was clean, quiet and bed was extremely comfortable. Excellent shower

Cons: I

Pros: The room was very clean and comfortable.

Cons: Great location, very comfortable stay

Pros: The staff were exceptional every single one we had dealings with. The cleaning team were lovely and smiley. Despite the fact we only were staying one night, nothing was too much trouble, from getting extra milk (I like milky tea), to directions and recommendations to local hostelries, they all went above and beyond.

Cons: My personal taste is a cool room, unfortunately I had to keep the curtains drawn due to a very bright spotlight on the building so, even though I had the window open, I couldn't feel the breeze. But that would not stop me going back.
