They always managed well to cater for the events that were big enough. The restaurant (The Fitzmaurice) is very good. Seeing that I was there for big events (300ish people) I was very impressed how they managed to organise and serve dinner and lunch and very good quality. Breakfast is Full Irish (self-service) with everything you can expect (fried egg, scambled eggs, mushrooms, tomato, black and white pudding, baked beans and hash) or you can get continental breakfast. The conference room and the surrounding facilities are friendly and comfortable. And free wi-fi is always nice to have these days. I didn't get to try their spa yet. Only three stars might be a bit mean. But I twice got a room that wasn't up to standard. Once (two years ago) is was a very small one and not very inviting - this obviously might have change by now. This time I was on the third floor in a lovely room to the back. Luckily I couldn't hear the trains on the rails just behind the hotel. But I got the impression this floor doesn't get used a lot (which is fair enogh in these times). The locker in the room didn't work. I suppose the batteries had dies. I mentioned it at reception. I didn't make it urgent so I wasn't surprised when that wasn't fixed by the time I left the next day but somehow I still kindo expected it. The heating wasn't on at all on the third floor it seems. Which I first thought is nice as I hate overheated rooms. But it got quite chilly during the night. Luckily I found a blanket in the wardrobe. And when I wanted to have a shower the next morning I absolutely couldn't switch it on. And I consider myself strong.

Amazing hotel with big roomy halls and great mattresses (this matters a ridiculous amount to me…read moregiven the traveling I do). In the last two years, it has come under new ownership which is on-site. The staff are over-the top friendly and attentive, and often surprise me by remembering me by name. It's very clean and the rooms are incredible. We got a junior suite which had a living room, two bathrooms and a bedroom. A welcome brownie and berries were a nice surprise in our room upon our arrival. I have only had a pedicure at the spa, but plan on going back next trip. Would absolutely return.

A pretty nice hotel in a mall with unfortunately apathetic staff, please go somewhere else than…read moreMaldron. My girlfriend and I, on our way back to Dublin for our flight back to the U.S., stopped at Maldron for one night so we could wake up early and make it to the airport. The hotel is located in some sort of shopping mall, so if you're looking for fast food options you're in luck. Upon checking, the lady at the front desk was very nice and hospitable, even saying that, although we were leaving before breakfast, that they would set something out for us. The rooms are modern and appear new, with Wi-Fi, satellite TV, and a large bathroom. So far, so good... ...until the night. At approximately 2:00 AM we were awoken by loud people in the lobby. Staying on the first floor, we could hear every word. I wish I could tell you they were all teenagers, which most of them were, but there were also adults walking around the hallways chatting like the place was empty. I called the front desk to complain, and was rerouted to wherever the night time staff is, and after 20 agonizing minutes the talking finally stopped. Why was there no one at the front desk to handle this immediately? Who knows. Sleep disrupted, we dozed for a few more hours and couldn't check out fast enough. It was terrible, and I would rather sleep on the side of the road then stay here again. And oh yeah, the breakfast area was locked with nothing set out for us. They clearly don't care at Maldron Hotel, so you shouldn't care to stay here either. Pass.

My husband and I wanted to go out for a meal and a drink so we decided to stay in the Maldron as it…read morewas close to home. On entering the foyer, my first impression was that it was very basic but clean and the receptionist though not overly friendly was very efficient. Our room was quite spacious and the bathroom looked immaculately clean - until I noticed the stains at the bottom of the shower curtain. We decided to have some tea and a smoke before going down to dinner and opened the window so that we wouldn't have to return to a smoke filled room. It was then that we noticed the really dirty net curtains that were just crying out to be washed. The restaurant was very basic but the meal, which was served by a nice efficient waitress, was quite tasteful. We returned to our room an hour or so later only to discover that the kettle had leaked quite a lot all over the courtesy tray and onto the floor. When my husband phoned reception, another kettle was promptly delivered to our room but this one also leaked. Not wanting to be troublesome, my husband brought the kettle down to reception along with water soaked tray and he was given another tray and kettle. Alas, the tray he was given was in a filthy condition with water marks, tea stains and crumbs on it. This was enough to make us want to go home but due to the fact that we had indulged in a couple of drinks we were obliged to spend the night here and so decided to retire for the night. While my husband was at reception, I noticed that the floors were only vacuumed wherever the vacuum cleaner would fit. There were dust marks under the bedside lockers and quite a lot of dust behind the unit which held the television set. Another surprise awaited us when we pulled back the shams on the bed - the lining on them was full of stains. Next morning we went down to the restaurant just before 7 AM and looked forward to a nice breakfast. There was a great selection of food available but once again I was let down by the stains on top of the toaster and the crumbs and stains on the tray which was supposed to catch the bread when it finished toasting. As it was so early in the morning and we were the only guests in the restaurant at the time, I can only assume that the toaster and tray are rarely if ever cleaned. The breakfast wasn't up to standard either. The cereals were fine but unfortunately the fry was cold.
