Maldron Hotel & Leisure Centre Tallaght

Maldron Hotel & Leisure Centre Tallaght

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was fantastic, we stayed in the executive room, The big bed was nice and comfortable. The room was clean and tidy, housekeeping was everyday. The staff were super friendly and very helpful but I would like to say that one of the evening staff in the bar/restaurant went above and beyond and that was Rodrigo . The food was amazing and the breakfast I could not fault, a very good choice and we were very happy. You are close to transport links, both bus and tram options are close by,"

"Absolutely spectacular hotel and spa!! I have travelled extensively and this is the best hotel accommodations I’ve experienced. Our room was so well appointed I could have moved in forever! The staff were all so friendly, the pool and spa gorgeous, and the restaurants were both amazing. I can’t wait to come back!"

Barberstown Castle

Barberstown Castle

10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful dinner, the charcuterie board as a starter was the most impressive I’ve seen. The Hotel title does not do justice to the castle setting. The breakfast room is about 4 rooms extending into the real stone castle. Fantastic pancakes"

8/10 Good
"Hotel grounds and lobby are in good shape and clean. Hotel staff was kind and helpful. The restaurant at the hotel has good menu and breakfast. The hotel room was overall clean but the humidity is taking its toll on some of the furniture - causing peeling pleather. The bed was quite stiff, but overall decent night's sleep"
