Maldron Hotel & Leisure Centre Limerick

A lousy experience all the way around. Front desk staff was courteous but not particularly helpful. We had lunch waiting on our room and it was awful - I mean really really bad and tasteless. No air conditioning in the room and it was soooo loud to open windows. Kids running all around the hotel and the restaurant was incredibly loud and boisterous. I would recommend going elsewhere for food - not good.

We stayed for 2 night, first night in room 112 was awful, we got no sleep at all, fan directly outside kept us awake all night, then at 7:20 on Saturday morning there was a huge lot of noise made when a lorry pulled in to off load a delivery beneath our window. I rang reception and they kindly arranged for us to move to room 343 later that day, so our 2nd night was much quieter and we could sleep undisturbed. We had dinner in the bar on the Friday evening. We bizarrely had our starters and main courses served all at once, with four of us at the table it was very crowded and difficult to make room to eat in comfort. When we asked why everything was served at once, the male waiters reply was "I didn't take your order". The so called bar has literally zero atmosphere, more akin to a canteen than a bar, very boring and uninteresting. The food was nice, and breakfast was nice too. The staff are all friendly. The place is clean. Beds very comfortable. Ensuite basic and in dire need of refurbishment, for example I don't think a shower curtain is practical or hygienic and loose floor tiles with no grout in places is not exactly safe or nice to look at. Having already stayed at 2 Maldron hotels and had a similar experience in both, I was hoping that this would be a case of third time lucky, however it was more a case of 3 strikes and your out. At €482 for 2 night including breakfast it wasn't good value at all. It was a disappointment from arrival. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend this or any Maldron hotel, I will never stay at one again and would advise others to avoid.

Fine if you just want somewhere to sleep. Stayed here for 2 nights midweek for work. The bedroom was clean and tidy but in the bathroom there was mould on the shower tiles. I used the gym which was ok but not very clean and some of the equipment was rusted and not cleaned. I got dinner on the first night. The menu was basic and there was no beef burger available so I got a very average chicken burger which was tasteless. There is nothing to do near the hotel unless you want to visit the tanning salon or off licence attached to the hotel. The breakfast was average. Hot food inedible, cereals and fruit adequate.

I called in this morning for coffee and a scone. I was absolutely delighted with the service from Conor, and the delicious coffee and scone, served with butter, jam, cream and a dusting of icing sugar. The hotel is beautifully clean, and the staff are lovely. Definitely deserves more than 3 stars!
