Great location but with constant smoking outside
The hotel was lovely and in a very nice location in the city, especially with kids. Only downside was that since there is no air conditioning, you must have your windows open to help keep it cool. That would be fine except that our window was right above the front entrance and there were constantly people out there smoking cigarettes/weed etc. and therefore it constantly came right in our window. Otherwise the room was very spacious for 4 people and the pull out bed was large for the two kids but the beds were overall a little on the hard side.

Clean, stylish, just outside of the city
The room was stylish and clean. We had a basement room, with a small window that looked onto a wall, so the room was dark, but it fitted in with the theme of the room. It was about 20mins walk to the main square. It says there's parking at the hotel, but upu can park on the street for €65 per day or in the Zoo car park, which was about 5mins walk for ~€25 per day. There wasn't an iron in the room and there wasn't one available either. Overall, a very nice stay.

When booking , I thought the pictures were good and it was going to be fine . The hotel service is good but the rooms are very hot . We had to ask for an extra fan, leave our door open when getting ready and even tried turning on cold shower water to cool down the room. They also do not clean the rooms well and you will be woken up by cars and such . We were here 3 nights. It was fine but I wouldn’t stay here again .

This is an older hotel and without air conditioning. We visited during a hot week and were placed on the top floor with windows that are not allowed to open apart from a small crack. Sleeping was uncomfortable, even with the fans the hotel provided. The restaurant, which was a reason I booked this property, is closed for the entire season, perhaps longer, and I was not made aware of this prior to our arrival. There are other cafes on the same block and good coffee/breakfast options. It was not a hotel I wanted to spend any time in and did not look forward to returning to. The staff were all very nice and accommodating, however, within what they could offer. The location was great. Fantastic neighborhood.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel! Very close to the zoo and a couple of good restaurants/bars, but a little bit of a walk into the city center. It's a quiet neighborhood, which was nice!

Housekeeping on request is a very green option but on arrival our room wasn’t very clean so some part of the room looks dirty and tired and better housekeeping should be implemented on departures , breakfast was excellent and very helpful reception.

Great stay
We enjoyed our stay at Lancaster Hotel. Location was convenient, access to everything by Tram, bus and metro, but slightly away from the noise and traffic of city center which we liked. Beds were comfortable, blackout shades were great, everything was well designed. We were on the newer part of the hotel. Our room has AC but we didn't need it since it was cool during our visit. Umbrellas were readily available for raining days.
