Although rated 4 star it’s really a dated 3 star hotel. The rooms are basic and dated. The service is ordinary - first day staff didn’t offer to help with luggage for example.

My wife and I stayed at the Maldron while on the third leg of our trip. Unfortunately the first night there was a little incident that made us slight uncomfortable however the staff was quick to help us straighten things out and provide us with a new bedroom. Overall the stay was pleasant however like most have reviewed, the hotel can be very hot throughout the night but as long as you open the windows, it should be quite comfortable.

Great hotel. Comfortable room & bed. Staff was very helpful and quick to respond when we had an issue with the TV. Parking was an issue - we knew about it before arriving. Fortunately found parking on the street first night and in the hotel lot the second night. The area was walkable.

The room with a nice view. It was renovated and clean but toilet didn’t flush well. Housekeeping didn’t refill tissues and soaps when they refreshed our room but you can ask front desk and they are very nice in supplying it. The parking is very limited. We parked for 9€ a night from 5pm to 12 p.m next day. The staff were nice and friendly. Breakfast was very good but pretty much the same every day. There is gluten free options and fruits as well as oat and soy milk alternatives. Great coffee machine with many choices. You can request boiled or fried eggs if you don’t like the scrambled eggs at the the buffet. The location is not far from the city centre. We walked to shops and restaurants across the bridge. Overall I would return due to cleanliness, location and staff.

Eventhough I was assigned to a big room that comes with 4 beds in the shower curtain was set inward to the bathtub that narrowed the area you can take shower. Also, the shower gel and handwash dispensers were set on a very inconvenient locations. The bathtub drainage is poorly functioned.
