Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Only negative is the window goes nowhere. Bright light into the room so had to close drapes constantly.

Wouldn’t trust them again.

I recently stayed at the Maldron Hotel South Mall Cork City and booked an Executive King room. Upon check-in with Valeria, we went to our room only to find a double bed, despite having paid extra for a king (€80 more). When I returned to the front desk, Magdalene insisted I hadn’t booked a king room and even suggested I “be more careful when booking next time.” She initially said nothing could be done. After I pressed the issue, she reluctantly switched us to another room with the proper king bed. Out of curiosity, I later checked their website and confirmed what I already suspected: there is no “super king” option—only double and king rooms. I brought this up again, and Valeria confirmed that I had in fact booked a king room, though she could not explain why her colleague had told me otherwise. Unfortunately, the entire exchange left me feeling misled and disappointed, especially since it seemed possible they were trying to hold rooms back for a large tour group arriving at the same time. Beyond this, both rooms we saw were poorly cleaned, the air conditioning did not function properly, and there was visible mold in the shower. Overall, the lack of service, questionable handling at the front desk, and poor room conditions overshadowed any positives. Sadly, I would not stay at this property again and cannot recommend Maldron Hotels to others.

We travelled for 4 weeks, 11 hotels and this was by far our favourite! Clean, comfy, spacious, and updated rooms! The breakfast was amazing! We were so close to the action on Oliver Plunkett and St. Patrick’s street. The staff were also amazing, at the front desk and the breakfast area! What a wonderful stay at a wonderful place!

We booked a regular room for two but received a wheel chair accessible room which was not our choice. The bigger issue was a nasty clogged shower drain which the hotel maintenance person was not able to fix. Before leaving our room, he told us that the management would help with changing the room for us. After waiting for a while for someone to call us, we went downstairs to find out that there were no other available rooms and the front desk repeated to us that the attempt to fix the shower drain was made and this was the best that the hotel could do for us. We ended up finding another manager who got us a new room - another wheel chair accessible room. That room’s bathroom was fine but we made a mistake throwing the decorative pillows on top of the tv cabinet and immediately saw how dust filled the entire room. At that point we just gave up because all we wanted was to get into a bed and sleep. The next morning we departed early. We do not recommend this hotel.

Central cork. Can be loud and hot.

Good sized room but was pretty stuffy. Couldn’t have window open and ac on at same time and couldn’t get comfortable at night. Don’t know if it’s normal but may want to avoid Saturday. There was some sort of punk concert venue nearby. Noise went on till midnight. Could hear it through closed windows and my head under a pillow. That was pretty obnoxious. Did laundry through hotel. Pretty quick next day service. There were some events going on at hotel and the hallways were loud late two nights we were there.

We reserved two rooms months earlier. We ended up in a handicapped room and apparently if you don’t want a handicapped room you have to request it when you reserve. The gentlemen at the desk offered to change rooms and give us a windowless room in the basement, stating that was the best they could do. I refused and finally another member of the staff arranged a different room for us. For the remainder of our stay we were not acknowledged at all. The second room for our travel companions smelled of cat urine and had no heat. They were moved the second day to a room that had no a/c and although they were told it would be fixed it never was. The location is very handy, parking is a few blocks from the hotel, the property has a coffee shop and restaurant.
