The hotel is located practically in the center of Cork, with a wonderful view of the river. The rooms are very clean, with a new renovation. The bathroom exceeded all my expectations — everything is brand new, resembling a five-star hotel. Despite being warned about possible noise due to ongoing renovations, I experienced no discomfort — it was quiet and clean. There was breakfast available, but I didn't order it. I stayed with my beloved person, and everything was very clean and cozy. The price was reasonable, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone who values comfort, quality service, and a great location. If I come back to Cork, I'll definitely book it again.

Nice and clean newly refurbished modern room, friendly staff, coffee maker in the room, superb breakfast! Close to city centre. Would definitely come back again. Despite building work, we didn't hear a lot and it didn't really disturb us.
The breakfast was superb and really yummy, everything fresh cooked, the buffett was kept clean and very appealing! Thank you :)

Newly refurbished so the room was lovely and clean. Shower was great. Design was nice. The staff at reception were really friendly and helpful. Location was great, easy to walk to the centre. Parking at the Lodge was safe and right outside. Room was clean and comfortable.
They had warned us, so it's not their fault as such, but the maintenance they'd warned about was annoying and loud at 8am. Apart from that, it was fine.

Very convenient location with free parking in a private lot right behind the hotel. Since it was raining heavily when we arrived, we really appreciated that. Downtown Cork is an easy 5-minute walk away. The room is enormous and looks newly renovated. The smart TV was nice to have. We were very comfortable here and would definitely stay again.
Bathroom was a little small. Price was high for just a one-night stay.

This was a stay of 10’s and zeros, hence a rating of five (5).
First the pros:
Beautiful bathroom
Spacious room
Free parking
Now the lows (0’s)
The bed, which we were informed was new, managed to combine very hard with lumpy.
While many hotels lack streaming services, the suggestion that I use my “hot spot” was a bit ridiculous. This was due in part to the fact that the staff (courteous and hard-working) was unable to get more than 3 channels to work on the tv. When I inquired with the manager the following day, I was informed that they adopted a new system 5 months prior… my question regarding why this was a known problem that remained unresolved was answered, “we’ll definitely look into this.” Apparently “looking” takes precedence over “acting”.
The staff, while kind and courteous, lacked aspects of training necessary to meet guest needs. For example, when asked for a recommendation for lunch, the receptionist made it clear that she simply had no idea where we might find a good restaurant… polite but ineffective.
Cost of accommodation: I paid significantly more ($275) for an unsatisfactory stay in Cork than for an exemplary stay in Dublin. Frankly, it left me with a less than favorable memory of Cork.

The hotel looks like it's been renovated; everything is new and spotlessly clean. I recommend the shower and the coffee machine. A bonus is the fridge in the room with cold water. Sparkling water would be nice, but I still recommend it 100%. I'll be back.
