Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Belvedere Lodge impresses guests with its spacious and comfortable rooms, often featuring new toilet installations and attractive decor. Many appreciate the excellent full Irish breakfast, including hot options like freshly made scrambled eggs, and the convenience of having tea/coffee making facilities in the room. Its location offers both on-site parking and easy access to Cork city center via a bus stop right outside, with Blarney Castle also a short drive away; some guests, however, have noted that the city center is a little further out. The property is beautifully decorated, providing a great value stay.

Wonderful stay. Highly recommend

smiling stafftea facilitiesgood varietyfree parking
The staff greeted me with smiles each morning. I felt very welcome! My room featured tea and coffee facilities. This was convenient. The breakfast offered a good variety. This started my day off right. I appreciated the free parking. It made my arrival and departure smooth.
I noticed the shower curtain had a slight musty smell, this was a bit off-putting.

Decent Stay with a Few Drawbacks

generous roomprompt breakfastonsite parkingtraffic noiseminimal toiletriescobweb
The room size impressed me! The space felt generous and comfortable. Breakfast service was prompt and efficient. I never waited long for anything I needed. I appreciated the provision of parking on site, which removed the stress of finding a space.
The room lacked proper sound insulation. I heard traffic noise throughout the night. The provided toiletries were minimal. I noticed cobwebs, especially in the corners of the room near the ceiling. A more thorough cleaning would improve the experience.

The breakfast included several hot plates and a great selection of food. The room was clean and had all essentials (soap, shampoo, towels). The restored bathroom was nice and included a good shower (it also had great water pressure!).
The room was far from my car and up three flights of stairs (I left my luggage in the car).
