Good service but room for improvement

The staff are friendly and polite but the hotel is showing its age around the public areas and rooms. Sink, bath and mirror in bathroom look cracked/rusted. Biggest disappointment is the swim facilities with not knowing that caps are mandatory at €3 each and expecting guests to bring a padlock for lockers is a bit silly, just have a coded or key operated door system. I would return because the hotel is well situated but it would benefit from a refurbishment, and is definitely below the usual Maldron standards elsewhere I’ve stayed.

Great 3 days at this property! The main entrance was under construction during our stay but it didn't bother us at all. The rooms have all been updated, they were very clean, all 4 adults were comfortable and felt safe. The breakfast is plentiful. The hotel is within walking distance to downtown Cork. There is very limited parking in front of the hotel, we dropped off our luggage at the hotel, parked in a downtown parking garage and walked the 10 minutes back. The only caution is that the hotel is on a hill. If you have anyone with mobility issues, this could pose a problem with the amount of walking uphill.

Fantastic staff

We had a noisy stay at the hotel due to some inconsiderate guests, but the hotel were amazing about it and moved us into a different room at 1am, provided free breakfast and parking and refunded half our stay. The room we moved to had super comfy beds and was very quiet. Breakfast was good but the best thing about the hotel was the staff. Denis the manager, Marie the receptionist and the night manager all went above and beyond. Many thanks
