Pleasant staff and a decent sized clean room.

Pleasant staff and a decent sized clean room.
Alan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable

Clean room. Has a mini fridge and large bathroom. We had a family room with great configuration of beds. Easy to walk in town. Takes about 5-7 mins.

Great spot

The staff was very friendly and the property seems to be recently renovated. I only wish there was more onsite car parking.
Michelle, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Family trip to Ireland

Not good. Parking wasn't great, Kiddie pool has a foot of water in it which wasnt worth my 7 yr olds time. Breakfast staff was great. They were really accommodating and improved our attitude towards the hotel.
Shawnya, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean and comfortable, nice space for a family of four
Andrea, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Noise was a big factor

Room smelled of smoke, no temp control so hot, room was over restaurant with super loud music that you could hear so well you can sing to the words (Still loud with ear plugs) kids screaming in the hallways and slamming doors, rooms are older than the front foyer so misleading, the foyer smelled super strong of a nice cologne so not so good for my Mom’s allergies. The bed was comfy and the room space was good. Ask for a room away from the restaurant on the weekend or whenever they have live music past 11pm.
Adam, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel was in a good location - but water leak in hall covered by a rug. Breakfast was good but update the elevators already

City Break

We planned a night away and stayed in Maldron Shandon. Great location and very nice staff. Carpark is snall and tight but manageable. Ill be back
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff is very nice. The room size is great for a family. My only issue was not being able to open the windows- no circulation in the room.
Anita, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

ok

Ok location, not great parking - had to park offsite, self check in although staff were at the reception, strange room location which would have been made easier if staff checked you in and explained this. Comfy bed but overall hotel abit worn and tired
Jennifer, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent will stay here again and again
Mary, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location, rating is too high for experience

The location is great within Cork; there is a lot to see & do within walking distance. This is important because parking is very limited on site so if you need to leave to drive you will likely have to park offsite. There is no temperature control in the room and we were on the 4th floor so it was VERY hot in the room (even though it was only around 65 degrees outside). The rooms were small and beds were clean but bathroom didn't feel as clean. The space to hang out in the lobby & lobby bar was nice & service was good. Overall I would probably choose a different hotel to stay at next time in Cork

michael, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel was in the middle of a neighborhood which was quiet but not alot to walk to. Parking is tight, and we parked on the street and carried luggage up a decent incline. The breakfast was great! Cute bar and comfortable area. Would stay again.
VICTORIA, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Enjoyable Stay

Excellent safety features in bathroom - roughened surface on bottom of bath and grab bars. Bed with very comfortable mattress and bedlinen Kettle in room and plentiful tea and coffee supplies. A requested refrigerator was supplied for my medication. Reception desk staff friendly and very helpful and willing to please
Jennifer, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great big rooms and bed to rest! Clean and updated. Pricy but worth it.
Diana, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel seems old. A little run down. Carpet in hallways could use a good cleaning. Beds were clean and comfortable.
Christopher, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice hotel

Hotel was a little walk from "downtown". But the hotel was quiet, clean and the front desk was very helpful. They held our bags at the end of our trip until we were ready to leave. Let us check in and go into our room at 10am with no extra charge. Sometimes the wait for the elevator would take a few minutes but that wasnt a big issue. About a 15 minute easy walk from the train station. But no issues here and would stay again.

Great hotel, clean, comfortable and perfect location. Had a lovely stay.
Cynthia, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean, and tidy, good location to explore. Staff were friendly, only downside is if you want to use the pool (at weekends) you are also in with local swimming lessons & it’s not that big.
