    Nothing. The breakfast is with some option but can be improved. The lady at the breakfast is fantastic, nice and helpful

    Bella vista has probabile the nicest view of Cobh the staff was very very kind. They had a problem with our room and consequently they offer us an upgrade. The beds were top! Very quit.

    Two-sided opinion! The only humane and polite thing was the hot and tasty Irish breakfast and the girls who served us. T

    The money was actually withdrawn from the card on July 31, and check-in was on August 5! They did not compromise, they did not change the room. I wrote a corresponding review on Google, then the owner of the hotel wrote that this was not true and that I was misleading people! 🤬 You need to post real photos of not only the room, but also what's outside the window... and not close the blinds!!! If I had seen this in the photo, I would never have booked such a room!!! I am not a homeless person to have such an attitude!! (boiler room, barn, wall), I did not need a view of the ocean, but a view of the barn and garbage bins is also not good enough!!! I booked a room with one double bed, but the room had a double + single bed. The owner does not understand why there are complaints - like they wanted one bed, but we gave you two, like we did you a favor 🤬 - I don't need two beds, but one and space and at least a view of the garden, not a barn. The windows overlooked the boiler room, and at 22.45 the kitchen workers were knocking loudly and talking in Chinese.) I have real photos from the bank when the money was written off from my card! I am not misleading anyone, but they misled us by showing the room in the photo but with blinds on the windows..., now I understand what the catch is!!! Like you checked in and if you don't like it then no one will return your money. They don't care that you want to relax, they want to write off the main money from the card!!! And the guy who was at the reception on August 5, 2025, wrote down the card code for himself. - Now I am forced to check my card all the time and not trust hotels and people at all!!!

    The friendly women who served breakfast.

    You did need to lock the door from the inside or it wouldn’t lock but that’s the only thing I would say.

    Beautiful view of the water. Breakfast/coffee were included in our stay and the staff were very friendly!

    The bed was a little more firm than I am accoustomed to which was an adjustment for me. Otherwise, everything was spot on.

    Like all Hotels in Ireland, not enough air circulation when they have warm days. Breakfast was good, but the restaurant for dinner was only Chinese food, and not very good

    Quaint hotel with views of the harbor. Full breakfast .

    The water in the shower was cold. When i was in the bar, i was served west coast cooler that was over a year past the expiration date, as was my sister. When brought to the attention of the staff he didn’t seem too concerned or apologetic and simply went to the store room to get us two new cans, but didn’t offer a refund or replace the other expired cans on the shelf behind the bar which we really thought he should’ve done straight away. Other than that it was a lovely hotel and i would recommend !

    Great location, lovely clean and comfortable room, chinese downstairs smelled amazing ! Staff were super super friendly and welcoming.
