It was really inexpensive and very convenient — located just outside the city center of Cork. I needed a location near the hospital as my traveling companion wound up needing hospitalization, and I was on my own for a few days. I didn’t need a fancy hotel, nor did I want to blow money on a pricey room. Belvedere Lodge is more of Boarding room environment…rooms are clean and had reasonable rooms (extra chair or two for lounging or reading). The bathroom was much nicer than I anticipated…clearly it has been updated and a nice hot shower with reasonable water pressure was a huge saving grace. The door did not have extra locks on it or way for you bolt the door once you were inside, but it locked and I was never bothered by anyone. Lots of international folks where staying, so it was a great atmosphere for meeting people in the breakfast room. I would absolutely return! Just don’t expect anything fussy…it was clean, I was comfortable in my bed, and it was quiet…so I slept very well. Staff was helpful and polite. I was delighted to find that within one block of the lodge, there was a gas station with Revolution laundry machines and they were in fantastic working order. There was also a SuperMax and 2 gas stations, so kit was easy to pop some laundry in and grab a cup of coffee and a bite to eat while waiting.
