Top Dublin Hotel Reviews

Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport

Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport

8/10 Good
"Two nights stay. Solo traveller. Location: 10-13 minute walk from terminal 1. Clearly signposted along the way. There was also a free shuttle which I did not use. Check in was online before arrival with a final step upon arrival using a touchscreen station. The room was quite clean. In addition to standard tea/coffee making facilities, there were also two complimentary bottles of water in the room which were replenished the next day. Shower strength very good. WiFi signal strong. No interruptions. The room was well soundproofed. The only issue I had with the room was the central heating. It kept blowing cold air, so I had to switch it off. Breakfast was adequate and of good variety."
