There were major problems at this Maldron hotel. I note mainly the AC. If the window is open, the AC doesn’t work - that’s entirely ok. EXCEPT the AC doesn’t work with the window closed either - and indeed the room was extremely hot and stuffy - easily the worst night’s sleep in 10 days in Ireland. Also, the lighting malfunctioned. The room card had to be left in the key slot for lights to be on - this was fine, except that one bright light refused to turn off. The Front Desk person visited our room and confirmed that the light could not be turned off. His solution was to take key out of slot. He said this would not affect the AC. And indeed it didn’t affect the AC because the AC never worked anyway. The best thing about the hotel was that 2 workers at the restaurant, one from Ukraine and another country, were so hospitable and helpful. Other than these two staff members (and the desk person who tried but failed to fix the lighting), the hotel staff was basically unfriendly and unhelpful. Charitably, I concluded that they might be good people - just not people with people skills, but regardless - they were unhelpful. Oh, and we paid for Executive Room with king bed - every hotel room should be good, but especially rooms for which premium price is charged. When in Cork, stay elsewhere!

Beautiful hotel, clean rooms, nice bathroom. Location is great, view of river and walking to shopping and restaurants is close by. Safe location. Only negative is no parking.. you have to use a car park over the bridge down the street. 5 minute walk dragging luggage to hotel. The car park is discounted with hotel validation. Staff was very friendly.

Horrible service!!!

Booked a double bed room for 2 days, checked in and unpacked then found out AC wasn't working!! They finally moved us to 2 separate rooms with king bed that was not acceptable since we have 2 children with us!! Then next day we left out for the day upon returning we found out our keys stop working on purpose so we can go to the front desk thats where we found out we have to move into a 2 bed room that we originally booked that all could have been fine only if someone has told us in advance!! Horrible service by Michael who looks like he doesn't belongs in the hospitality industry!! All he cared about us give up the rooms so they can sell the rooms!! And yes the 1st room beds smell like someone has urinate in it, will not come back to any of their properties ever again

This Hotel was Excellent! We booked two rooms for two nights each, to be able to enjoy Cork. When I booked them, I wasn't sure if both rooms would be King beds, because of the description. But turns out that they have a King, and a Super King (apparently a super King is just a little larger than the King) So that worked out great for all of us. The Maldron has a great staff, so professional, whether it was the front desk, room service, the dining areas or the bar. The hotel looked brand new, the rooms were spotless the bathrooms were great- we loved the "rain shower". The beds were SO Comfortable! The pricing was great also. The Maldron (South Mall), is just around the corner from streets filled with really great restaurants, shopping, wine bars, pastry/coffee shops etc. Parking is available through them 24/7, but not on site. We chose to park at the Mall because we didn't need our car in the evening, or till after 8am when the garage opens. But check the hours first! Everything we needed was within walking distance from the Maldron. Great Hotel, great area for food right around the corner from it! Highly recommend!

The room was very nice, and the area had a lot of shops and restaurants. It was hard to figure out where to park, but the hotel does have a good deal with a parking garage (we had to move our car over there after check in).
