We really enjoyed our one-night stay at the Maldron Hotel Shandon Cork. The room was an excellent size (and I loved having a bathtub), the staff were lovely and friendly and overall it was in a convenient location, easy to get to where ever we were going. My husband also enjoyed using the pool but was surprised to find out he needed a bathing cap (lol) not that it was a big deal to purchase on.

Ein schönes Hotel mitten in der Stadt, daher natürlich nicht ruhig gelegen. Sehr bequemes Bett und recht hochwertige Kissen und Decken, was vor allem bei einem längeren Aufenthalt sehr angenehm ist. The staff was outstanding!!! I had food poisoning from a supper at a restaurant in the city and the manager himself brought me some water to the room. Also the other staff members were always very friendly and helpful!!! If you like to stay in Cork I highly recommend this hotel to you! For me, I will choose a more rural area like Bantry, next time, but this has nothing to do with the hotel itself!
