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

We stayed at Lancaster Lodge for one night while in Cork during our Ireland travels. The hotel is very nice and well kept. Check in process was smooth. Extremely convenient to have onsite parking while in the city. Plenty of dinner options just a short walk away. Breakfast the following morning was great! Definitely worth the stay!

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.
