Modern B&B hotel close to Cork city centre

This modern B&B type hotel offers a simple and nice breakfast. Our room was fresh and large. We enjoyed that the hotel is close to the city center and in walking distance to some good restaurants. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Good location, has car park

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.
David, 16-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

In the centre of Cork with car parking, our newly refurbished room was the perfect spot to rest and regroup after a long journey. Room was amazing and the staff helpful. Would stay there again.

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.

8/10 Very good

Great location in a quieter setting

Lancaster Lodge is removed from the bustle yet still conveniently located to UCC and city centre. As of late March 2025, there renovations look to be progressing nicely.

Excellent location, clean and comfortable. We would stay again. It would have been nice if it had a bar.
Marion, 3-night trip

Elevator was out of service but I think it's cause they're renovating which will make it super great!
Emily, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great property but the construction going on is a definite drawback since it was crazy loud starting at 8am . If you can check out before the noise starts great otherwise it is unacceptably loud and you won't be able to relax in your room

MICHAEL, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Conveniently located property. We were very grateful to be able to park our car in the lot early and explore the town before checking in. The staff were friendly and professional.
Linda, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great help from the front desk.

Great visit wished we had more time the front desk staff were extremely warm and inviting. He made a map to help us find places to eat and recommended a few places. One of his recommendations we were fortunate enough to get into and it was delicious.
Steven, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

My room had an infestation of spiders. They took over the wall and the windows. I tried to move rooms, but the hotel was booked. They told me there was nothing they could do. My parenter qnd I attempted to kill as many as we couod to get through the night, but it was an impossible task. The spiders woupd go down the cieling onto the bed. Nothing was done during checkout because "there was no manager on site" it was ridiculous.
Alissa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Have used this hotel many times over the years as it is very convenient for Cork City and has parking. The recent refurbishments have added to the experience. Breakfast is good and I like that it is fresh cooked and not a buffet.
Dick, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Das Zimmer war relativ modern und vor allem sehr groß. Beim Badezimmer und vor allem der Dusche hat sich tatsächlich jemand Gedanken gemacht. Es gab sowohl einen Haltegriff, als auch eine große Ausbuchtung zum abstellen von eigenem Duschgel/Haarshampoo. Besonders gut fand ich, dass es zusätzliche deutsche Steckdosen gab!
Sebastian, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
