8/10 Very good

Nice hotel, the only issue was that it’s not air conditioned, so it was pretty warm in the room.

8/10 Very good

Overall, it was a good experience. We stayed in a triple room on the top floor, and the view was great! The room was quite spacious, the beds were comfortable, and everything was generally clean. One minor issue was the bathroom fan - it automatically turned on with the light and made quite a loud noise. The staff at the reception desk were okay, but not particularly friendly.

Over night stay

The hotel was beautiful Our room was spotless and the bed so comfortable
Derek, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice hotel but it’s not in a great area. You have to walk several blocks to get to anywhere close to restaurants. There is a restaurant in the hotel and our dinner was very, very good. The service was excellent. The room was nice, but the temperature could not be adjusted And the coffee pot was impossible to figure out. The hotel needs better signage on the street for where to pull in. There’s a very ample parking lot, but it’s a one-way street and if you miss it, you have to circle around because it’s not well identified.

If you are driving, the off site parking isn’t that convenient. Hotel layout is a little confusing and there were a few hallway odours. Room was large, clean, comfortable and quiet though.

Good stay, could be improved

Great location and good clean hotel in general. Pool was ok but you need a swim cap and padlock for the locker. We had no heating or hot water in 324.

Cork trip

We enjoyed our stay at the Maldron. The location was great just round the corner from some lovely bars and restaurants. Staff were really friendly and the breakfast was very good.
Susan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great hot

Great hotel with nice staff. It seems a bit weird to pay for a room and then if you want to use the swimming pool, spa and sauna you need to bring your own lock or pay 10 EUR. The breakfast had everything it needed and the food was fresh. My room had a weird setup for the shower curtain that made it impossible for the water to go out in the bathroom floor.
Mikkel, 2-night trip

Great location, very nice staff, good food.

Excellent customer service from staff, who could not have been more attentive and helpful. Some parts of hotel could do with some refreshing, but overall clean and comfortable and didn’t detract from the visit

Enjoyed our stay here. It was a beautiful place
rose, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Loud & pretty dirty

The doors to the rooms slammed loud and hard. Every time a guest closed a door it was so loud that it woke me up. It was also the dirtiest hotel we stayed at in Ireland. Thankfully, we brought our own Clorox disinfecting wipes and cleaned the place. The front desk staff were ok. The carpets in the place were disgusting. Stains on stains. I would not stay here again.

Fantastic staff

We had a noisy stay at the hotel due to some inconsiderate guests, but the hotel were amazing about it and moved us into a different room at 1am, provided free breakfast and parking and refunded half our stay. The room we moved to had super comfy beds and was very quiet. Breakfast was good but the best thing about the hotel was the staff. Denis the manager, Marie the receptionist and the night manager all went above and beyond. Many thanks
Sarah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay. Super close to the city center, the room was huge and the staff was helpful.
Eira, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great 3 days at this property! The main entrance was under construction during our stay but it didn't bother us at all. The rooms have all been updated, they were very clean, all 4 adults were comfortable and felt safe. The breakfast is plentiful. The hotel is within walking distance to downtown Cork. There is very limited parking in front of the hotel, we dropped off our luggage at the hotel, parked in a downtown parking garage and walked the 10 minutes back. The only caution is that the hotel is on a hill. If you have anyone with mobility issues, this could pose a problem with the amount of walking uphill.

Paul, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good service but room for improvement

The staff are friendly and polite but the hotel is showing its age around the public areas and rooms. Sink, bath and mirror in bathroom look cracked/rusted. Biggest disappointment is the swim facilities with not knowing that caps are mandatory at €3 each and expecting guests to bring a padlock for lockers is a bit silly, just have a coded or key operated door system. I would return because the hotel is well situated but it would benefit from a refurbishment, and is definitely below the usual Maldron standards elsewhere I’ve stayed.

Even though the property was under construction it was quiet and super clean. Loved our room and met a.cool and friendly bartender on our first night arriving. Great place to visit and definitely would stay here again 🙂.
