Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport

8/10 Good
"Stayed in a family room. The bathroom was bijou, extractor fan not working and a mirror that steams up (it’s 2026!!! Time to figure that one out I think). No window to the bathroom and no access to cool air, bathroom pokey and shower in the bath that you have to duck under to read. Bin in the room severely dented and just looking run down. Carpet had remnants of other guests dirt remaining on it. Bedding uncomfortable. Breakfast was average and pint glass in the bar was filthy with bits dried onto the inside. Unsure if this was washed or if it was picked up and used after someone else. The loaded taco fries were a disappointment."
