The number one hotel in Cork, with an excellent location, the river lee is right under the window, and the breakfast is excellent. It is a 5-minute walk to the National University of Ireland Cork and an 8-minute walk to the British Market.
It was a wonderful Victorian-style hotel. The hotel was remodeled from a former hospital building, and it has luxurious spaces. The rooms were clean and spacious, of course. The bathrooms were also of a high standard. It was impressive that they eliminated the bathtub to save water consumption in order to maintain the sustainability that the hotel aims for. I hope it will continue to develop as a good accommodation.
The staff was very friendly and the accommodation was very good. The hotel also provided bathrobes and disposable slippers. It was not too far from the center of Cork. It was much better than the 4-star hotel of the same price I stayed in near Dublin Airport. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to enjoy the free swimming pool and sauna.
We stated for one night over the bankholiday weekend. Plenty of parking and a short stroll to the beach. Checkin was extremely quick. We had dinner and drinks downstairs in the lighthouse bar the food was exceptional and the service was fantastic. We used the pool and the outdoor hot tub which was lovely as pool itself seemed a little cold. We had a room on the 4th floor with a lovely little balcony which was unexpected that looked out over the car park and beyond. The bed was lovely and comfortable, the room is decorated with dark features including black paint but this showed up the evidently dusty areas of the room especially the radiator cover, while there was also heavy staining and debris on the carpet by the entryway and the water in the pre filled glass bottle tasted as if it had been there for days. The bathroom is lovely and similarly decorated however the existing low bathtub could be replaced with a lovely walk-in shower. We weren't told at checkin about any works going on in the hotel but we had our thoughts that there was because as we reached our room you could see dusty footprints emerging from a door directly opposite ours which was not a room this was confirmed the following morning when we were woken before 9 with drilling and sawing that was happening in the hallway. The guest directory said there was free WiFi but all networks were locked and no password to be found in the usual places like the back of the key card pack or the TV etc. We weren't asked on checkout how our stay was, just took our room number and said that's OK have a good day bye, seemed a little hurried even though there was nobody waiting behind us. Overall nice stay, top quality food and service downstairs but slightly better attention to detail in servicing rooms/ housekeeping and notice of possible works going on needed.
The location is superb! Right by the river! The facilities are excellent, clearly top-notch. Hygiene is great, as consistently clean as you'd expect from a Moxy. The environment is very clean, and the bedding is super comfortable. The service is spot on, the staff are enthusiastic and very professional! They were able to resolve issues very well.
It was a pleasant stay, clean and spacious room, with everything needed. Nice view from the window. Good breakfast included. Friendly staff!
Nothing to complain about :)
Thank you!
The Montenotee hotel is an experience of its own , fantastic views over the city , amazing interior design, delicious food and professional staff .. The glasshouse is superb with quality cocktails and surroundings. Highly recommend.
I always enjoy my stays at the Talbot. It really is a lovely hotel. The rooms are big and spacious, as are the bathrooms. The staff are friendly and professional. My only complaint is the breakfast which I don't bother with anymore. It's very subpar considering the price the hotel charges for a room. Apart from that, I love the place.
The booked room is on the first floor, there are more stairs, it is really inconvenient for the lady with a large suitcase. The location is relatively remote and not easy to find, and the restaurant is also nearby. You must eat before you stay, but the breakfast is rich.
Very Good

GGuest UserRooms were big and spacious and very clean I liked that it wasn’t noisy can’t abide being in a hotel and you can hear everything from the next room the reception staff were really friendly definitely would stay here again highly
SSharmaSachinThe hotel was okay overall, but there were a few things that could definitely be better. Water bottles weren’t given every day—you only get them if you ask, which felt a bit inconvenient. It’s something you expect to be taken care of without having to remind them. The internet in the room was quite slow. It worked, but not great—good enough for checking messages, but not reliable if you need to do work or stream anything. On the bright side, the lobby looked really nice—clean, modern, and a good place to sit and relax for a bit. In short, it’s not a bad place, but a few small improvements could make the stay much more comfortable. Swimming pool service was good.
アアヅサAs the word of mouth, the breakfast was great ‼︎
I think it is recommended for those who want to eat breakfast properly.
The room was a double room for two people, and the heating was always on (although I didn't know how to turn it off), and it was January. The room is spacious 々, and there are sofas and tables, so I was grateful that there was a place to sit besides the bed where I could drink tea and relax. 😌 The TV is turned on, I gave up without any channel. There was no bathtub and only a shower, but the hot water was also comfortable and comfortable 👍 The interior and building itself were generally vintage (it was nice like an old good Western-style apartment). Only the shower was modern.
GGuest UserThe front desk was very welcoming and the service attitude was great! It felt like home. The hotel facilities were complete and there was a car to take you to the airport. The room was quite large and clean. There was water in the room. I was super satisfied!

GGuest UserThe hotel was really lovely, great location and staff. The only problem I could find with the hotel was the breakfast, I had a full irish breakfast every morning at a few different times and it was always too dry. I think the hotel must prepare many, keep them under heat lamps and then just add a freshly cooked egg when they are ordered.
