Pros: Great comforts and very helpful staff

Cons: Problem allocating a room when we arrived but ultimately were well accommodated

Pros: Old world charm and very polite staff

Pros: Very classy and well kept facility with a very friendly and helpful staff

Cons: We had on issues with the property and staff

Pros: I have stated in the Hayfield Manor many times as my wife and I promised that we would stay there every year for our anniversary. The staff are so nice and Frank (doorman) is always hilarious. It is a place of utter luxury and relaxation. A dream location for anyone wanting to experience a slice of heaven

Cons: Not applicable

Pros: • The welcome at check-in • The cleanliness • The spacious bathroom, fabulous bath tub and shower. The toiletries! • The food! The BEST burger I ever ate in my life! Everything exceeded my expectations!

Cons: I really can't fault anything. This was the most luxurious, comfortable, amazing experience I have ever had!

Pros: Location

Cons: Too expensive - it should have included breakfast as room rate for one person occupancy was 340 eur per night

Pros: Facilities

Cons: The hotel is hard to find. Even the GPS struggled to get us there. Old world atmosphere, with some unusual and welcome additions; a bottle of whisky at the reception desk to parch the thirst and ease the frustration of locating the place. Another fun touch, a putter and play practice green in the room. It is a nice place but would I stay there again? probably not. It's the little things that matter in a hotel and the dinning reception left us cold. We made dinner reservations and showed up on time, appropriately dressed, only to be kept waiting while others streamed by, were welcomed, and seated. Eventually,We were placed in a back room at what must have been the worst table in the place, center stage, traffic area in a room surrounded by cozy booths. The Food and service excellent, but the second rate treatment left a bad taste. So we move on, to a better experience somewhere else.

Pros: Restaurant, staff and food was 6 star

Cons: Maybe check the room appliances like the iron and press?

Pros: Everything was terrific. The staff is young and very enthusiastic. They were always so accommodating and well trained. FRANK the concierge was the best. Gave us so many great recommendations. Totally on point. Will surely go back.

Pros: The rooms were beautiful, clean, and spacious. We arrived early, got a room quickly, and even were upgraded to a suite just like that. The staff treated us like queens and kings, making us feel like part of their family. Everyone was cheerful and helpful during our stay, and the bartenders were eager to talk about local places to see and shop at. A highlight indeed for our Ireland trip.

Pros: The welcome at reception set the tone immediately, the friendliness of the staff throughout, especially Jack the Barman and Maria in the Spa.

Cons: Our entire experience was beyond our expectations.

Pros: Nice, relaxed ambience of the hotel. Great staff and food

Cons: Nothing

Pros: While the wait staff (excluding the bar staff) were rather helpful, the one working elevator was slow, the spa did not have any openings, and we received a 3am wake up call that we did not authorize. For a luxury hotel, they have some work to do.

Pros: Such a nice setting...fab hotel

Pros: I highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Cork. The upper deck jacuzzi overlooking the river was a pleasant way to finish a day of travel.

Cons: The dinner wasn’t amazing but the wine was wonderful and the other restaurants/bar made up for it.

Pros: Have stayed previously and was left underwhelmed however most recent stay improved by view. Room was more modern and a significant improvement and more in line with expectations. Staff are very helpful and friendly.

Cons: The room could have been a lot cleaner other than that it was an ok stay. Couldn't believe the state of it and when complained was just told they have no more rooms to transfer me, disgusting.

Pros: The spa is beautiful and good value for money nice staff

Cons: No robes in room especially when ur using the spa

Pros: The hotel is modern, clean and comfortable, and the staff were welcoming and friendly. Our room was spacious and well presented, and the bar and restaurant both good. The choices for dinner were excellent, and the staff had just the right balance of friendliness and efficiency. Great parking, and a nice riverside walk.

Cons: The only downside is its distance from the town centre - about a 25 minute walk.

Pros: Room was large with king size bed

Cons: Food average and room had overpowering smell of bleach which was still there next morning. We had room at front of hotel and very noisy as we were facing main road.

Pros: Lovely luxury room, courteous and friendly staff, free water, excellent restaurant (the seafood chowder with home-made bread was to die for, as was the rich, firey peppercorn sauce served with the prime Irish sirloin), air conditioning, great shower (with choice of a bath as well), beautiful views of the river. Decent breakfast buffet too. There is also a pool and spa at the hotel, but didn’t have time to use these, sadly.

Cons: Only minor issue is the distance from Cork City, but there are regular buses and taxis (around €12) were plentiful and the drivers were very friendly.

Pros: The Kingsley was a great place to settle down In Cork. The staff were professional and took pride in their work. The rooms were nice and clean. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay.

Cons: I didn't mind this actually but the Kingsley is about a 15-20 minute walk to the city center. You could take a cab or walk it. The reason i didn't mind was because it was far enough away that you weren't surrounded by the noise.

Pros: We were going to the Bons hospital so the location was great for us. Our room was lovely.

Cons: Nothing really. The rain?

Pros: Great bed and friendly staff

Cons: Room 203 was very small for a couple, could not order room service breakfast as there was no where to eat it, missed this treat. Room extremely stuffy, and couldn't sleep much due to some extractor outside that was going all nite. Shower over bath we could not use as even at coolest setting was still too hot, so we used the mixer tap shower attachment on the bath. Think I will try Isaccs hotel across the road next time.

Pros: Breakfast was very good. Location was excellent. Bar staff were really friendly

Pros: Nice lobby and downstairs

Cons: Bedrooms were very dated and needed renovation, unbearably hot, tv with very bad picture (old bulky tv) paint peeling off bathroom ceiling and nigh on impossible to get mixer tap for shower to give right temperature!

Pros: great choice for breakfast--staff very accommodating. The whole ambience of the hotel was lovely.A great welcome for our first visit to Cork !!!!!

Cons: Nothing apart from a few showers!!!

Pros: Breakfast is good, beds are comfortable, staff always helpful.

Cons: Room was v small compared to what I have had in the same hotel, for cheaper. Room very warm.

Pros: My room was quiet (except for noise from the busy street outside). However my friend was not so lucky with her room. Staff were lovely. Leisure centre was welcome, if a bit shabby & run down. WiFi worked well.

Cons: No adequate reading light by bed. No fridge or minibar in room. Leisure centre in need of a facelift (eg. Missing tiles, etc). No onsite parking but reasonable day rates available close by.

Pros: Lunch on arrival Friday great value and staff so friendly, .great view from our room on new pedestrian bridge . Our daughter was also staying down the corridor she was visiting from Boston on business .

Cons: Breakfast was amazing, but I felt a smaller breakfast for smaller cost would have suited me better Children playing the piano in the hall at 10pm very loud, we had to finish our drinks and retire

Pros: Grand old Hotel, friendly staff, great breakfast menu, no buffet. Fantastic facilities, indoor pool, gym etc. Right on the street, hive of activity, only issue was pub across the road didn't close till 3am so toe tapped the Irish Jig until all the revellers went home then got some sleep.

Pros: Great room on 4th floor in the dormer. Really nice. Terrific bathroom and really nice feel. Good amenities

Cons: Physical areas like halls and elevator and main doors are really worn and need attention.

Pros: Great location- easy walk to train station and shopping district. Good restaurants close by. Tall shower and excellent water pressure. Pretty room decor. Friendly staff and excellent workout center and pool.

Cons: I didn't care for the fragmented bathroom with steps and light switch on the outside of the door. It was a small room with uncomfortable chairs and lots of drawers which concealed a tea kettle I did not discover until the second day. Small elevator.

Pros: Great location, friendly staff.

Cons: Old building which means old windows which means lots of street noise which means bad sleep :(

Pros: Solid old style hotel

Pros: Location excellent and breakfast very good Lovely and hot

Pros: Staff were great, check-in was smooth, parking was easy. Comfortable walk into the city centre.

Cons: The only way to get airflow in the room is opening the single window. The street is noisy until quite late. Cannot darken the room properly due to the hotel external lighting blasting the front of the building.

Pros: Very clean nice staff lovely breakfast

Cons: Missed having a bar would loved to have came back in the evenings for a drink

Pros: The staff was very helpful. Although the location wasn't charming, it was near lots of restaurants and nightlife.

Cons: It was very difficult finding the entrance to the hotel using GPS. Be very careful not to turn too soon.

Pros: Staff were excellent and extremely helpful. The Location is perfect for the Courts. Parking Facilities are excellent.

Cons: I had a lot of luggage with me on arrival and it would have been helpful if they had a trolley to assist in bringing it up in the lift. This wasn't really an issue though as the staff in reception kindly offered to watch my bags when I brought them up to my room in two trips.

Pros: The hotel was good, with a comfortable bed and my room was quiet.

Cons: The hotel is a little bit of the city centre.

Pros: Pleasant helpful friendly made it a great place to stay.

Pros: The common rooms were clean and modern without being luxurious and I think the same could also be said for the bedroom. So it wasn’t really a place to spend a great deal of time whilst on a break and I don’t think the hotel will be disappointed to hear that I wouldn’t really describe it as a hotel it’s more of a lodge. But the rooms were very clean and kept clean by the staff. The communal areas again were spotless albeit slightly bland. Where Lancaster Lodge excels is the staff who are any competent and helpful and there can be no complaints about the extensive selection and quality of the food available for breakfast which would suit any pallete.

Cons: I suppose I could’ve been more travel guides to Cork in the area, some more magazines and free street maps.

Pros: Great location, clean modern hotel.

Cons: Can't fault anything.

Pros: Excellent location with free parking and just a 10 minute walk into town. A quiet spot.

Cons: Nothing really. Only the price was a little expensive for room only.

Pros: Staff were very accommodating giving room with a nice view as it was a birthday present

Pros: Location is close to the city centre, couple minutes walk to shops/bars/restaurants. Parking is €12 per day (not too bad).

Pros: Very convenient. Nicely appointed rooms. Very clean.

Cons: No facial clothes in the bathrooms. Has to ask for one each day. Just bring me one for each day when I ask the first time!

Pros: Location + staff

Cons: No

Pros: Bar and restaurant was lovely.

Cons: Initially I found our room way too warm so I mentioned it to receptionist next day and they upgraded us to an executive suite which was fab, so we were delighted much cooler room.

Pros: Everything

Pros: Location is very good. Food was very nice, breakfast lunch and dinner. Nice modern hotel with cool central atrium.

Cons: Renovations on going in leisure centre but wasn't too inconvenient. Breakfast is expensive especially if not pre booked. Drinks expensive enough even compared with city centre prices.

Pros: Everything was good

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Spacious room and communal areas

Cons: Price Only tepid plates for breakfast Waffles were cold! Bathroom could do with being re grouted

Pros: Big room, good location in the city center

Cons: No window for street

Pros: Staff very friendly and helpful Beds extremely comfortable.

Cons: rooms overpriced for out of season especially if you want breakfast. No water in rooms. Parking is not free, they only pay a percentage and this should be said before you arrive. Got rightly stung!!

Pros: Food was nice and bar staff were helpful. Room was comfortable and clean.

Cons: Reception staff on arrival and on checkout were not friendly or helpful. Upon arrival we were not welcomed. We were also never told where the breakfast area was. On checkout I needed to ask to get my car park ticket stamped. If I didn't know it had to be stamped I would have had a hefty price to pay at the ticket machine.
