The room smelled horrendous. Tv didn’t work. Shame as room would’ve been nice as it was top floor with good views

Close to Cork City, a nice walk. Parking limited but we snagged one and there is on street parking but it's hotly contested, I think. Nice facilities - restaurant, and hotel shares gym, pool, steam room and sauna with a fitness centre. Good hot shower and comfy bed, room a little small for 2 queens but completely fine for the money.

Parking was not good. Stated parking available but had to park blocks down and put a scratch off discounting the parking fees with a map of garages to go. Very confusing: Two twins put together that didn’t line up when I booked for a king. Spent $677 for two nights slept horrible 1st night due to the uneven bed situation. Woke up to only have the shower be cold and then would not shut off had to get management up right away and she shut it off and offered another room as we had no shower and expressed our concerns with sleep Stated she was going to comp breakfast but I told her are breakfast was already included for two nights and she said she would look into it and get back on a way to compinsate. Had to wait until after breakfast a few hours later to pack up all our stuff to move to another room. Roomed seems to be ok but bed situation more durable but still not a king and water still had difficulty getting it to come to temperature. When I talked to the desk she said there was nothing documented on a compensation or credit because we chose to move but we explained we had no choice. She said she would talk to other manager. As we were leaving she informed us they would not compensate. Very disappointed as we spent a lot of money at the bar having dinner and drinks which the employees on that end we were wonderful. If nothing can be done on a credit to my account, poor recommendations to social media, definitely know about our stay and

Absolutely loved our stay here. The location is perfect - on the north side of the river, so quieter and easier to park, but so walkable to everything to see in Cork. We had a lovely stroll across the river to amazing food (hundreds of placed to choose from), Cork Folk Festival and historic landmarks and enjoyed a stellar music session at the pub Sin e near the hotel. Room was everything we needed, nicely appointed and spacious. Staff at Maldron were wonderful start to finish. Even when we had an unruly bunch partying next door, staff responded and reminded the party there were other guests around them - much appreciated!

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.

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.

Stay was fine. Parking lot very small and tight. Alarm went off at 1 am 3 times causing kids/baby to wake up. Hotel did nothing for inconvenience.

Perfect hotel in the perfect location. The breakfast is fantastic. The manager, Joe, and his staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We would love to stay again.

Aug 2024

The main issue with this room was how extremely hot it was in there. Even with the window open (the 1-2 inches allowed) it was still boiling in there. We literally left the door to the room into the hall open in the evenings just to help with the heat. Outside was in the mid to high 60s. We live in Seattle and are used to no AC but the lack of fresh air from the window was tough. They left a fan in our room and nice snacks, which was lovely. It is close to a lot, easy walk to the main part of the city. If you don’t score a parking lot spot, you will have to park on the street or in a garage down the road and move by 8 or 8:30 am. We didn’t have the breakfast but the staff allowed me to pop in and grab a coffee each day which I really appreciated. Our sink was clogged and it did take two days to unclog but they did eventually get it taken care of. The history of the hotel was pretty cool, the idea that this hotel was a hospital back in 1720 and is literally older than my country was fascinating.

4.1

Aug 2024

The staff was friendly, the bed was comfortable, the hotel was fairly quiet, but unfortunately that was all overshadowed by how unpleasantly hot the room was. It wasn’t particularly warm outside (18-20 C), but the room was SO much hotter and stifling. No air-conditioning, the window didn’t open and there was zero air circulation. There was one (very necessary) desk fan in the room, but unless you stood in front of it the entire time you were in the room, it did nothing to combat the heat. It might not be an issue in the winter, but it was terrible in July.

Great room and breakfast. Parking is very limited and super tight if you get a spot at the hotel.

My wife and I spent time in Cork and enjoyed this facility. The staff were really nice. We are able to access all the key downtown areas of cork quickly and there is even a hopper on hop off bus stop at the top of the hill, which was really a worthwhile investment as well. We would certainly stay there again.

The neighborhood was more industrial than I expected. I thought we would be more within a walking distance of activities.

The location was great- close to everything but not in the middle of the tight streets- great for parking and an easy walk everywhere. Staff was very helpful and nice ( as all the Irish have been)

We had a very spacious comfortable, clean family room. Great staff. ( the only negative comment would be that they charge a manidotory 3 euro charge for a bathing cap if you want to use the pool)

4.1

Jul 2024

Insufficient parking at the hotel, which is first-come-first-served. If the lot is full, which is usually is, then you get to park at a city garage 2 blocks away and pay for parking (the hotel offers a discounted rate, but you still have to pay). The hotel is also noisy -- depending on your neighbors, you will hear them talking in their rooms or in the corridors. Also, the room doors slam easily and often, so you have to hope that your neighboring vacationers are quiet and courteous people.

Nice hotel in a not-so-nice part of Cork. It says they have limited parking but don't try it.

Jul 2024

The kids loved the pool. It was walkable to the train station, buses, and downtown. The room was hot/no air conditioning. We didn't realize there was a fan until we were packing up to leave. It was clean, and the staff was friendly. We ended up staying an additional night, and they made that easy to accommodate. While breakfast buffet was good, other food available that we tried was not. Beds were comfortable, and we found additional pillows in the closet. Staff was super helpful calling taxis, etc.

4.1

Jul 2024

I have no issues with the property itself. It's not central to the city, but easy enough walk. My biggest issue with this stay was tge other guests who were up at all hours, noisily slamming doors. We didn't sleep for 2 nights. The onsite parking situation is also a joke. We had to park around the block where there was no easy access.

We needed a place for one night and this one didn’t break the bank. I wouldn’t have wanted to stay here more than one night. The room was big, but it was hot and stuffy. There were people yelling early in the morning-it sounded like a domestic argument after a night at the pub. Location was pretty good, but no parking on site. Overall, the hotel seemed a bit scruffy and run down

Centrally located hotel … with its own parking … service is a bit of a hit or miss … when I wanted help with my luggage during check in , they got the bar tender to help … while in the room when I requested for a plate and spoon … was told that I could come down and get it or pay 5 euros to have it delivered … this is 4 star service in Cork I guess .. anyway on my check out when I similarly asked for help was informed that there were no men available … otherwise the hotel was ok …

Staff very friendly, room was good size, decor pretty dated and no shampoo / conditioner in the bathroom. I'm gluten free, the breakfast was fairly good with a few options, the evening menu wasn't good almost everything had gluten and the options to make them gluten free removed key components of the food

We enjoyed our time at the Maldron. It is a pretty close walk to the main part of Cork for shopping restaurants, yet far enough to not be in the night life. Vivian and Niason(sp?) we're great in the hotel restaurant.

Everyone was so helpful and kind. Very professional staff. My apologies to the man who worked both in the bar and at breakfast because I don't know his name--he's got tats on his arms---he was especially helpful and good humored.

Staff was super nice. Park in the garage across the street but even when you park in front of the hotel and block 3 full buses coming in for a landing everyone is still super nice. Rooms were clean and lovely. Staff is courteous. I'm 3 pints in on this review but I'm pretty sure it's accurate. You'll be happy you chose this hotel. Very walkable to cool stuff.

Room was comfy. Food was great. Location was handy. Only disappointment was the pool. Apparently, Ireland has a law that says you must wear a swimming cap to be able to swim. No notice of that before arrival. Wife hates the idea, and as a man without hair on my head, but plenty on my back and toes, I fail to see the point. Obviously caps were on sale, but we were so annoyed about this we didn't bother. Since this isnt a requirement anywhere else in the world that we have travelled, I can only say whoever came up with this rule is a muppet

Super quiet, great location. No AC bit the windows open and there was a fan for circulation. My only issue was that there was a light in thecourtyard outside our window that cycled in and off during the night. The blackout curtains blacked most of it out, but was a slightly annoying. Prob not an issue if you are in a different room.

Nice hotel for a former hospital. Shandon is much quieter than being in Cork proper. Overall, great location… Only negative is the parking can be iffy

There are so many great things about this hotel. It’s a great location and our executive suite was spacious and affordable but the front desk staff are not very responsive and seem to lack customer service abilities. Room cleaning is by request only and they didn’t take out the trash. Also it was an extra 5 euro charge to have cutlery sent to our room.
