Our hotel room was clean and in a great location, easy to walk into the city center. The hotel room was very warm and the window only opened a crack, it was very hard to cool the room down.

Great amenities and staff. Very good Continental breakfast arrangement and easy walking around Cork city center. The room felt a little too warm, even with the heat turned off, so we left the window open, but that meant noise from the busy night life on the street below. Not too bad, but a heads up to others - there's a fan in the closet!

Well located property about 8 minutes walk to the middle of Cork. Large room appears recently renovated to good standard. Some other areas eg hallway carpets look like they are yet be upgraded. Note the small fridge turns off when you leave the room/ remove your keycard - this is a design flaw. Some larger glasses and coffee cups in the room would be better. Friendly and efficient staff. Buffet breakfast was good.

It is a very good place to stay you are in walking distance of things but sometimes you need a taxi and the front desk will get it for you unless they forget to call them like they did to me and I missed my tour and I didn’t get anything back so I lost a lot of money

Great location for visiting cork city

We enjoyed a relaxing two night stay. Our room was lovely, modern & very clean. The staff were lovely & friendly. Really appreciate the free parking. The hotel is located easy walking distance from the city centre. Would recommend Liberty grill for breakfast.

Located pretty central in Cork City and great to have a secure area to park. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful, especially the ones at the front desk. The rooms in the Lodge are nicely updated and very comfortable.

My wife and I stayed at 3 supposedly "4-Star" hotels in 2 weeks. The Lancaster Lodge was the only one of the three that really measured up to that designation. Everything was great! The full Irish breakfast had a wide variety of offerings, and everything we tried was well prepared and promptly served. The entire staff was attentive and courteous. The facility was small, intimate, well-maintained, and beautiful! The city center was only blocks away. I only wish we were planning a return visit sometime soon.
