The hotel is in a great location. It’s an easy walk from the train station and close to the city center. The automated check in process was quick and easy. The room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast had a lot of variety. It was a very nice place to stay.

8/10 Very good

This is a superbly located hotel with friendly staff. The building and rooms have clearly seen better days and the hotel could do with some refurbishment and freshening up. Parking spaces are limited so we availed of a discounted rate at the nearby multi-storey car park. We didn't have breakfast at te hotel but we did purchase two coffees for €8. The place was reasonably clean and comfortable but somwhat overpriced in my opinion. I don't stay in hotels in Ireland often enough to compare but have stayed in substantially better hotels in other European cities for less.

I love this hotel with is quirky nature. Renovated from an old hospital. The history and photographs are amazing. Parkig on site is limited but you can be lucky to get a space here. Worse case scenario there's another carpark near the hotel for a reasonable price. Staff are very friendly and for the age ofvthe building its very clean and well presented. A great spot

I had a good room on the 5th floor with a good view of the church next door. Room was tidy and made up everyday. Breakfast selection is good and the bar is nice to sit in. The car park is really tight and you are lucky if you get a space. Not a deal breaker though and i'd book to stay again.

6/10 Good

We stayed a night at the Maldron - had a standard double room booked. We ended up staying in a room marked “executive” on the second floor. The room was clean - if average - equipped with a small television, standard tea / coffee kit, and an electric plug in radiator (no air con). The bathroom while also generic, it was dated, with mould and grime all across the tiles, and the body wash dispenser was absolutely empty. A light fixture was also hanging out the bedroom ceiling. For the quality of room in comparison to price of nearby premier inns, for instance - definitely overpaid. Conveniently short walk to city center. Staff on the desk seemed friendly and helpful.
