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.

Compared to other four star hotel we stayed in Ireland , this is not four-star. We booked three rooms, one of it was not cleaned ( bins were not emptied, towels not changed) after the first night. Bins were also not emptied for another room but towels were changed. There is very limited parking so we were given a voucher everyday for overnight parking in a car park that is five minutes away. The voucher only covered one third of the cost. The car park is very compact, we had to be very careful going in and out.

Good room, just add hot water

Large room, helpful staff, nicely appointed room and bathroom. The shower worked, but the water never got hot, just luke-warm. Small but functional elevator. Standard pub fare available in the bar.
