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

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.

Great Stay in Cork

Had a great stay at the Lancaster Lodge and a lovely time in Cork. Our room was newly rennovated to a really high standard and bed was really comfortable. Hotel is in a great location, friendly and helpful reception staff and a great breakfast. We would definitely stop here again
