There is no a/c so it was very warm in the room. Windows opened fairly wide & there was a fan in the room. 5 - 10 min. walk to some very good restaurants.

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.

Good location, clean, modern, has a car park, which is rare in Cork City Center. The breakfast (included in my stay) was good only thing I wish it had was a gym and/or leisure center.

Great Place to Stay

Top-class, affordable guest house that is on par with any 4* hotel in terms of room quality, comfort, service and amenities. Just 3 minutes walk to the university and 5 minutes walk to the city centre. Highly recommended :-)

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.
