We were greeting by a friendly staff member upon arrival. The room was clean, and had all the expected amenities. Also, Lancaster Lodge has a lot of character, and the rooms are very classy and exciting with vibrant colors.

Jeremiah United States of America

Great location near University College Cork. Lots of things a short walk away. Very helpful to be able to drop our bags early and have them held until check in.

Patrick United States of America

It's modern, clean, well-organised, most importantly friendly and helpful staff.

Eva Switzerland

Place is central, clean and very easy to get to. Breakfast is excellent. Walking distance to the center of the city. Parking included is a bonus

Lorenzo Italy

Friendly staff. Big rooms. Reliable housekeeping.

Donald United States of America

The friendly staff, ambience, dining room, bedroom

Siobhan Ireland

Regarding breakfast - this was the best porridge I've had in decades, my love to the kitchen. Otherwise - the room had everything I needed and was very well arranged: it was logical, spacious, yet small enough for me to move around well. Also, I'm glad the window opened.

Vladimir United States of America

The staff were very friendly. The lodging was very clean. Breakfast was included for us and it was very good - you could order an 'entrée' plus there was plenty of fruit, breads, cereal, coffee, tea, and juice. Many restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions were within walking distance.

Katwitt United States of America

A good location close to the areas we wanted to visit. Top floor room had nice tall ceilings and a large bathroom with full size shower. Very friendly staff provided great suggestions for bars and restaurants nearby. Our favorite meal of the trip was at a restaurant suggested to us by the staff.

Mariah United States of America

Loved the location, quiet enough out of the centre but really close walking distance. Very comfy bed and facilities.
