"A good quality, family friendly hotel, with an excellent health club."

I stayed at this hotel to combine running the Dublin Marathon with a family half - term break. It suited both purposes wonderfully. A short walk from the beginning and end of the race and relaxing health club facilities on completion! Large and comfortable rooms with a good quality buffet restaurants. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

I could not fault this hotel in any way. The staff were very helpful and attentive, the food was excellent and plentiful, the room was spotless. This hotel is definitely my number one choice when I visit Dublin again. Thanks again for the wonderful stay.Shirley Kelly

"Good hotel, within close walking distance of Dublin City."

good hotel, friendly staff that can accomodate infants without a fuss. in-house resturants providing good value-for-money during promotion time.Only downside was lack of parking outside hotel. It was very difficult to get space to unpack. They do have a deal with the closest parking unit (about 10mins walk) but will still add on around 18Euros a day.

"Likened to Benidorm"

Hotel clean and friendly, tho stay in 3 stars normally and they have better room facilites. Only one pillow each. Walls thin could hear people both sides, snoring coughing etc. Extensive building work outside which started at 7am! Windows useless as they let in all the noise, could even hear people talking in the street and we where 3 floors up. Breakfast service slow not enough staff, ordered a newspaper, still waiting. If I was staying longer I would have moved hotel. Spa nice clean etc.

"All you could want for a stay in Dublin"

Hotel staff friendly & efficient, rooms clean and fairly big (ours was a standard room & had a double and single bed plus armchairs/table etc.). We liked the location as it was far enough away from the centre to be quiet but close enough to walk (about 20 mins along river side). Plenty of taxis around if walking a problem - about 10 to 12 euro from say Temple Bar. Would definitely stay there again on return visits.

excellent hotel. 1 tiny point was the service in the restaurant... waiter did not want to seat our group maybe because it was abit late, only for the restaurant manger to over-rule him and seated us, but it wasnt the best service on 3 occassions but only little details. Overalls it was an excellent stay at your hotel.

"Breakfast arrangements rather haphazad !"

Comfortable hotel , good location, generally well run - except for breakfast arrangements. Queues 2 of 3 days due mainly not to the lack of tables but the slow speed at which they were turned around.Also poor surveilance of what needed to be replenished.

"The rooms were lovely, the food was tasty and good value and the staff were friendly and helpful."

The only problem was that the hotel had no car park, we had to park on the street but only for a maximum of 3 hours during paying periods. Which meant we had to keep goin out to put yet more money in the parking meters.

"Good, efficient and clean International Hotel on the up and coming Quay side district"

A well run international hotel, with international staff keen to help and serve your every need. The hotel itself is in the quay side development which is dotted with cranes and undergoing major development. The area will be fantastic when finished in 2/3 years time. It is a ?10 cab journey into Dubin`s pub and restaurant area. The rooms are clean, pleasant and comfortable. We had a very enjoyable stay.

"Nice room. Good Health Club. Expensive"

Too expensive to eat at the hotel. The shower area in the female changing rooms of the health club was mouldy

"Lovely hotel and staff very helpful, room was very clean I would stay again"

on the downside, pool was not warm enough but jacuzzi too hot to stay in for long and two tea bags per day for a double room was definately not enough, breakfast staff very cheeful and helpful but breakfast spread pretty basic.

"Good Friday"

If you stayed at the hotel on Good Friday you needed a `substantial meal` to get an alcoholic drink. A bag of crisps was not enough but a bowl of soup was, so it was a bowl of soup and a pint of the black stuff. The staff were apologetic but the law is the law but according to our taxi driver it was only this hotel !! It was good otherwise.

"Nice rooms, good cocktails, average breakfasts"

Overall this was a decent stay, although we were disturbed by other raucous guests, I don`t necessarily think that was the hotel`s fault. When we complained, they were courteous, and asked us to call down if it happened again.Breakfast was average, and the fruit juice was so sweet it was practically undrinkable. Fruit was not great either - you would think for the money it would be a bit better.Not too far to walk into city centre - about 10-15 minutes. Poor views from hotel looking over building site from our room.

"A three star hotel with a four star lobby. Non personal no frills service would not entice me back."

The food for breakfast was very cheap, the service was sketchy, the rooms were clean but anonymous. The swimming pool was so cold that swimming was uncomfortable. Dinner was ok but the dining room was like a canteen. Not what I`ve come to expect from this class of hotel. But not a disaster. Nice location on the docks, but a little far for my 5yr olds legs to walk from town comfortably.

No shower cap or anything personnal supplied in the hotel. Also it seemed necessary to ask for everything...there was a swimming pool and gym but no times were given and when I enquired I was told I`d have to buy a swimming hat as it is a legal requirement in Ireland, but they never said what time the pool was open, so we never actually got to see it let alone use it. However, the hotel was first class, clean and modern with the most comfortable bed ever. It was quiet in our room and the curtains darkened it perfectly to allow a good night`s sleep. Very pleasant and helpful staff, and a good restaurant. I`d go there again.

"The rooms were very spacious but really could have done with a small fridge."

Had a good comfortable stay at the Maldron, staff were pleasant, breakfast was good but would have been better if there was a choice of cooked eggs and sometimes the food was not hot enough. It is a good 20 minute walk to OConnell St.

"Large, clean and spacious rooms"

Reception left a little to be desired, difficulty with language barrier and a small request for an ash tray in our smoking room not actioned. Walk into town much longer than had been lead to believe but would recommend the rooms, really comfortable and breakfast was great.

"Satisfactory overall despite our brief review"

Still doing refurbishment and there is a lot of building construction work going on in the immediate and surrounding area - Popular International Hotel - Hotel bar used for private functions on 2 of the 3 nights we stayed - breakfast good but the choice was the same every day, very busy on Saturday we had to queue - bedroom clean, comfortable and spacious - lovely Spa facilities
