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.

Room refurbishments are very good but still in-hand so the hotel was noisy during our time. And this area of cork can get pretty noisy too but overall we had a very good stay.

The hotel is remodeled and is very nice. The location is also very good, close to the university and not far from the city center. The room was extremely hot though, and there is no AC. Unfortunately leaving the windows open would not help either, the room stayed very warm even though outside was cold.

Affordable perfection
The staff were so very friendly, cheerful and helpful. My room was beautifully renovated, everything fresh and relaxing. The bathroom was perfect and absolutely clean. The hotel's location was perfect for visits with old friends and for an event at the University.

Great Choice
Room was ready early which was great after driving down from Dublin. Room was spacious and clean with all the amenities I needed (tea/coffee/bottled water/great shower/TV/fridge).
I only had the continental breakfast which was good value and the cooked dishes coming out to other guests looked really good too.
Hotel is well located with the city centre just a short walk away and the free parking in their own car park was ideal.
