We absolutely loved the experience here in Dublin at the Maldron. I found the location to be extremely convenient, within 1 block of the Saint Patrick's Cathedral (which was perfectly framed from our hotel room view). From that location, all of the double decker HOP on HOP OFF type buses pick up from there, and take you on a route which hits 20 stops. (You can buy the bus tickets at hotel desk) The room was clean, and modern with zero complaints. The daily breakfast was excellent. Every member of staff went out of their way to provide warm service, and enhanced the stay. The underground parking garage was also ideal for us, as this was a necessity for us as we had a car for exploring outside the city. The only thing I can think of to provide any type of caution to those considering booking this hotel is that the location is just on the fringe of where the locals would consider it safe or desirable to stay. For the life of me I can't understand what the issue or danger could be, as I found the area positively lovely, and didn't see any indication that we were in an area that would be sketchy. I believe if you just plan to stay here or further north of this location you're fine. I personally preferred it to the vibe closer to Temple Bar where it's much louder, and more oriented to walking out the door to tons of bars and restaurants. If I came back to Dublin, I'd choose the same hotel again. We had two rooms, one room for my in-laws in their 70's, and ourselves in our 50's, and 1 college daughter. While visiting, I most highly recommend you tour Teeling Whisky tour, and also go to the Zoo!
