Maldron Hotel Sandy Road Galway

Maldron Hotel Sandy Road Galway

10/10 Excellent
"Modern hotel with its own parking lot underground. To reach the lot you have to drive through the gas station as the hotel and parking lot entrance are on the left side of the hotel. Large room, comfortable beds, small windows on the third floor (339) near the elevator. 25 min walk to the town center. Tap your room key in the elevator to reach the bedroom floors."
