Over our two week Dublin stay, we stayed here 5 nights and the rest at Hilton Garden and the Travelodge. This hotel came at a lower price and has some pros and I’d say minor cons. Location is great for upper O’Connell and Parnell St. Rooms are basic, a little older with a little more wear/tear than at the Travelodge. Staff was very friendly and cleaning staff worked hard to keep the rooms up. Any problems and I felt they would address it promptly. Room rates were a little less than Travel Lodge and Hilton. The neighborhood looks a little rougher however we didn’t experience it to truly be that way and we enjoyed the closer proximity to Parnell St and the Intl. restaurants it offers. Just a short 10 minute walk north is a great breakfast spot called the Yellow Cafe (a great local find) and I’d also recommend a quick walk through the beautiful, peaceful park/duck pond, Blessington Basin. The Maldron has a nice atrium area on the ground floor with tables and couches, a TV and faux fireplace - a nice area to relax with friends/family. We didn’t eat at the Maldron’s restaurant but other guests seemed to be enjoying it. The coffee and drink bar was attentive and the bartender /barista made decent drinks. We appreciated the filtered water dispenser near the check-in counter so we could fill up our drinking water bottles daily. All in all, we would definitely return here knowing now the Maldron met our needs at a competitive price.
