The staff was very friendly and provided amazing service. The hotel itself just seemed like a patch job and paint cover up. When we got into our room there was a broken cell phone shoved into the kettle and the sink faucet was broken.

We really enjoyed our one-night stay at the Maldron Hotel Shandon Cork. The room was an excellent size (and I loved having a bathtub), the staff were lovely and friendly and overall it was in a convenient location, easy to get to where ever we were going. My husband also enjoyed using the pool but was surprised to find out he needed a bathing cap (lol) not that it was a big deal to purchase on.

Check in is via kiosk but there’s a person right there to help if you need. Parking is a bit competitive so recommend arriving earlier rather than later. The room was small, very sparsely furnished (no decorative items), and bathroom was fine but had all these marks and holes on walls from where renovators had taken measurements and drilled wrong holes. No washcloths. Towels clean but bare-bones. Shampoo and soap but no conditioner or lotion. It was quiet enough. Had to leave window open for cooler air. Bfast was outstanding though.
