This primarily business hotel is a pretty solid offering. Underground parking, good security between this and the rooms, and a spacious restaurant for breakfast. Breakfast itself was again solid. Good quality food, competantly cooked and displayed. All staff were efficient and reasonably pleasant.

Great

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Maldron Hotel. From the moment I arrived, the warm and welcoming staff made me feel right at home. My room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed with all the necessary amenities. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The hotel’s location was ideal, with easy access to major attractions and public transportation. It was the perfect base for exploring the city. Overall:
I highly recommend Maldron Hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and memorable stay. The combination of excellent service, beautiful accommodations, and great location makes it a standout choice.

Favorite and Comfortable

This was one of our favorite stays and it was an equally comfortable as the 5 star hotel we stayed in. We stayed in 7+ hotels this trip with mostly higher end accommodations and 3 different types of rooms per stay so we got to see most of the rooms each hotel offered with a group of 7.
