Long story, short- right after we checked in, my husband and I went on a ghost tour. Turns out the hotel was the original Cork hospital starting in 1720!

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.

Cork trip

We enjoyed our stay at the Maldron. The location was great just round the corner from some lovely bars and restaurants. Staff were really friendly and the breakfast was very good.
