Maldron Hotel Shandon Cork City

Staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, especially Vivienne, made us feel right at home. Bar staff were also extremely attentive and assisted us with directions and suggestions of where to visit and how to catch public transport.

Staff were really lovely, very helpful and friendly. Our family room (109) was big and spacious 1 double and 3 single beds. Ceilings are high and two big windows made the room bright and airy. The bathroom was in a separate little area just inside the door. It was nice to be able to close the door to this area when going to bed. Breakfast was very good with a wide range of choice for all the family.

The hotel is situated a short walk from a bridge to take you into the city centre, it is located in a quiet area but a short distance to the hustle and bustle. Our room was exceptionally clean with all the facilities you would expect such as hot drinks, hair dryer etc. The bed was a little small for our liking but each to their own as it was comfortable. The staff were very happy to help and breakfast was buffet style but freshly cooked with a good selection.

The room was extremely huge. We were given a room with a double bed and 3 single beds (there was only 2 of us). The bathroom was also very large. The bed was comfortable and all the usual room amenities were available including coffee and cookies (biscuits). We did not take advantage of the hotel amenities but there are restaurants, a bar, a pool, and probably more.

Location was perfect- short walk into the city centre. Breakfast was superb- great choice of food. We have family and close friends in Cork and we met in the bar for meals in the evenings. All the staff are so welcoming and friendly - management, in the bar, on reception, at breakfast time. We have stayed in the Maldron several times in the past and they remember us which adds a very personal touch and makes our stay extra special.
