Beautifully updated rooms with lots of useful amenities and friendly, helpful staff. Superb location and plenty of onsite parking. Can't recommend enough.
Located pretty central in Cork City and great to have a secure area to park.
All the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful, especially the ones at the front desk. The rooms in the Lodge are nicely updated and very comfortable.
We enjoyed a relaxing two night stay. Our room was lovely, modern & very clean. The staff were lovely & friendly. Really appreciate the free parking.
The hotel is located easy walking distance from the city centre. Would recommend Liberty grill for breakfast.
Very good hotel located close to Cork centre. Excellent room with modern decor - all floors serviced by a lift. Good Wifi, free parking on site. Our booking included breakfast - very good and cooked to order. Only negative - no hair shampoo or conditioner provided. Would stay sgain.
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.
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 :-)
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.
This location is great...it's easy to walk down to the English market and to Oliver Plunkett street. We had great dining out and the hotel staff was kind. Breakfast was good.
