Bella Vista is truly like having an extended family. They are so helpful, professional, and caring and make your stay so comfortable. Their apartment are excellent for families and they are so well run with wonderful staff. I would recommend Bella Vista anywhere from couples and families and extended families as they have all types of accommodation. Fredrics and Vincent are incredible managers who make it a wonderful seamless experience :)

This hotel had by far the best customer service I have experienced in my 50 plus years of traveling. We loved our stay at the hotel. The little pub onsite was great and the staff was amazing. The views from the room were lovely.

Another fantastic stay at Bella Vista. Can't sing enough praise for the staff, and of course the accommodation and location continue to speak for themselves. Amazing town and harbour views, great bar and restaurant on premises, and a short stroll to all Cobh has to offer. We will be back. Jason

We arrived 28/12/22 and stayed for 6 nights. Every member of staff we met was helpful and cheerful. Our self-catering suite was separate from the hotel, but we used the bar (comfortable, well-stocked and reasonably priced) and the China Sea restaurant (where we enjoyed delicious food served by lovely people). Our suite had everything we needed, including a comfortable bed, and equally comfortable sofa (white is perhaps not the most practical colour: it was a little grubby). It was nice to have both bath and shower. The steeply sloping car park and stairs mean the Bella Vista is not suitable for anyone with mobility problems but that is probably true about Cobh as a whole. The amazing views from our balcony were worth the climb. We had a lovely stay at the Bella Vista and throughout the rest of our stay in beautiful Ireland.…

Dear Jayne, Thank you very much for posting this amazing review and thank you for sharing those great pictures! We are glad to hear you enjoyed your time with us and in Ireland altogether. Yes, Cobh is pretty hilly and this is actually one of the reasons of it being so unique. We do have few ground floor options (both hotel rooms and self-catering apartments), based on availability, for anyone who might prefer to not do stairs. We do hope to have the opportunity of having you both as our guests in the future should you travel to Cobh again. Kind regards, Team BellaVista

Friendly welcome, attentive service from the front desk, and great Chinese food too! I had the panorama suite, which was very clean and comfortable. I had a tremendous view of the cathedral and the port. It’s a healthy walk down to the town and back.

Having stayed here a few times for buisness trips, this is by far one of the most friendly comfortable and hospitable hotels that I have stayed in. All the staff are great really friendly approachable and go above to make sure you have a great stay. All the rooms I have stayed in have always been immaculatly presented and very clean and fresh. The views from the front are fantastic as you look across the bay with the catherdral in your eye line also. Deffinatly worth a stay.

I could not fault Bella Vista Hotel & Self Catering Suites, Everything was immaculate lovely clean rooms,comfortable beds,spotless bathrooms and breathtaking views unfortunately the weather wasn't on our side for our stay but that didn't take away from the experience we had we had views of spike island and st colemans cathedral right from our room at Bella Vista we watched tankers and ships pass by our window at night it was so picturisque Cobh town is literally a 5 minutes walk away with some stunning restaurants and all essential shops the staff at Bella Vista were so friendly and always on hand to help whenever needed on our last morning before we departed we enjoyed a delicious buffet style breakfast at Bella Vista's own restaurant, Bella Vista also sell some lovely souvenirs such as fridge magnets and keyrings which we purchased as a little reminder of our family trip we stayed as a family of four and our little girls had the best time we can't wait to go back in the summer months.…

The hotel with modern furniture sits up on a hill and has great views. The staff were friendly and showed us to our room. The made to order breakfast was delicious and served by a courteous staff. My only complaint is the Chinese restaurant, some of the worse Chinese food I have ever had.
