Maldron Hotel and Leisure Centre Cork City  

Locatation

When we entered the hotel, you got the immediate feeling it wasn't clean. The bedroom window was very difficult to close. The ironing board was dirty.Very few towels supplied, they were mainly hand towels. When we checked out the next morning we asked about a luggage room, we were told to use Jack Lynch Suite, it was an unlocked conference room, we asked at reception, if this room was safe and was it going to be locked. We were assured everything would be locked, when we returned our bags had been moved, a different receptionist was on duty, she didn't know, we found them ourselves by opening several doors, they were in an unlocked room we no markings on them, anyone could have taken them and we weren't asked had we found them. While waiting for a taxi for the airport, we waited in the lobby, it hadn't been cleaned since the night before, there was juice bottles and papers on the seats and the tables were sticky. I needed to use the toilet in lobby before leaving, there was no toilet paper, I had to ask another visitor to pass me in toilet paper and this was in the afternoon.

Location

Hotel was very poorly maintained and the rooms were poor. Parking is very very limited and the alternatives cost a lot. Would never stay again as did not get value for money

The staff were very pleasant and helpful and the food was excellent although the menu was rather limited. The bed was comfortable too.

The lighting in the bathroom was very poor - it was a bit cavelike ! Not much use for putting on makeup ! Also the arrangement of the bedroom lighting was a bit odd as I had to get out of bed to turn off the light in the entry area and the bedside lamps went off too leaving me in the dark ! I realise renovations were going on and they are needed as the furniture was shabby and the walls had holes in and needed painting. The TV remote didnt work either even when I got new batteries but I worked the TV manually. The whole hotel looks a bit tired so I hope the renovations go ahead apace. In saying this the room was spotlessly clean & my stay was not at all unpleasant.

The location was excellent, around an 8 minute walk to St Patrick St which is the central location for shopping, dining etc. Near the river, bus station and taxi ranks. The room and hotel in general were very clean and the staff were friendly and very helpful. The gym was well equipped for a hotel establishment also. I did not dine at the hotel so cannot comment on the food.

The location was suitable for my purpose

The bar area was not a place I would like to have a drink in and the room was not very clean also free parking !! better chance of winning the lotto

The price was great staff friendly and efficient location was excellent. Rooms were large and clean but could use some updating.

The only thing I did not like was the cost of having breakfast in the hotel it was ridiculously overpriced

Didnt like the car park,and the fact the staff just told me to leave the car any where until i booked in,for that reason i would not go back even if i got to stay free of charge in the hotel

Spacious, comfortable, liked interior design.

It was only one thing when I stayed with a family ( 2 nights ), shower gel was empty, it was only small bit left when we came in.

I liked maldron hotel it's location was excellent,

I stayed in maldron hotel cork city 27/ 28/ & 29 of march everything in this hotel impressed me, The location was absolutely brilliant, All This was until I slept in the bed it was the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in, I am a healthy fit person 25 years of age, I have an aching back after sleeping in this, it was room 411, I visit cork often and would stay in this hotel again, if the sleeping mattress would be better,,,

I requested a large room when I made the booking as we had lots of luggage, and we certainly got a very large room. Certainly no complaints. And the bathroom was the size of a small hotel room! Very high ceilings and great views of the top floor. Did not use the Spa but had a look through. The pool was a good size. Did not use the restaurant or bar facilities.

The only thing we did not like was that the hotel is actually behind a large wall in a narrow street so we missed the turning twice. Car park inside the walls was handy.

It is covenient as close to the city, the rooms are very comfortable, and the spa/swimming pool is good

We had to hie a car this trip and parking is poor.

The staff were very helpful and very polite especially Mary on reception and Darren who served us dinner. Very nice hotel. We had a lovely stay there.
