The staff was awesome and place was great. Views fantastic. Lots of hills to walk but worth the walk. Must be European thing but no wash clothes in bathroom but none of my hotels have had them. One downside is although there is off site parking it is a difficult parking lot. Overall i was very pleased

The only couple of drawbacks, albeit insignificant, were that parking was tight and no elevator. But it is a wonderful place, located in a prime spot.

Good acommodation. Very clean, big bedroom, lots of space. If arriving by train, there is a very steep hill to get to it so not very accessible. Staff were friendly, facilities in room were low, minimal towels, basic toiletries, no black out blinds, one bottle of water each for the stay. We slept well most nights, acoutics is very poor so if did get the wrong crowd i could see problems. There was, what I assume, was a child in the room above us and in morning and evenings the ceiling nearly came in with the jumping around. Given the cost its not good value, its very expensive for what it is but assume thats a reflection of where it is.

We loved our stay at the Bella Vista Hotel in Cobh! The location is perfect — just a short walk to the iconic Postcard Row and right near the waterfront. From our room, we had a stunning view of St. Colman’s Cathedral and could even hear the bells ringing, which added a magical touch to our experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, making us feel right at home. The room was comfortable, clean, and full of charm. If you’re visiting Cobh and want a cozy, scenic place to stay with easy access to everything, Bella Vista is an excellent choice. We’d definitely stay here again!

The room we had (at the rear) had no view at all, completely obscured by a tall wooden fence. Getting to it via a narrow staircase is a little tricky with suitcases. However, the room itself was clean though very basic. The hotel is not close to the harbour as the pictures might suggest. I think it’s a bit expensive for what it is.

The staff were super friendly and we were given a free upgrade which was very cool since it's only ever happened once to me. The only negative thing was we ate in the restaurant and I think my chicken was cooked in a pan with fish (or which had fish cooked previously and possibly wasn't cleaned thoroughly enough) since there was a strong fish taste from the chicken.
