Maldron Hotel Portlaoise

This hotel is essentially at a motorway services. But is far nicer than many motorway service hotels in the UK. Nice rooms, comfy bed, good wifi and slept well. Even though my room over looked the motorway it was soundproofed which was good. I didnt eat here but there was a foodcourt in the services and also another services just a few minutes away. Interestingly though, in my room (215) there is clear evidence that the door to the room and bathroom have clearly been forced open. I hope whatever happened everyone was OK, but fix it and fix it properly as its disconcerting to wonder what might have happened in that room.

My husband & I just returned from a 2day stay at the maldron.Room was spotless, equipped with the usual basics, having a food court near ( in applegreens) was an added treat, A special mention to Josh,from reception to serving the bar he is friendly,accommodating whilst being professional, Thanks to all the staff we really enjoyed our stay

I stayed for two nights while attending a work conference and had a fantastic stay. The room was very comfortable, and the food throughout my stay was excellent. Made good use of the gym as well. A massive thank you to Rasa and all the team for their warm hospitality and great service. Highly recommend!

I wouldn’t usually write a review of anywhere ! But I have hope that in writing this it may help the staff there . When we arrived it was visibly busy with parties etc. we waited with no sign of a staff member . A lovely gentleman then came to check us in . It was obvious by his demeanor that he was under pressure , what we didn’t like was the chewing of gum the entire time he checked us in but that wasn’t the worst . He was trying to watch kids climbing up the side of the stairs and stop them doing that, most definitely not his job but he was trying his best to handle the situation around him! , told us he just got sick (the.child climbing) which we then noticed a wet floor sigh covering the vomit . This was at 5/530 in the evening . He also informed us dinner was fully booked which we didn’t mind because we were headed out. We went to our room , lovely , clean happy with all that . About 6:30/7pm I rang for room service drinks and was told we’ve no room service today at all too busy , which wasn’t ideal but we move . We were leaving to attend a friends party in town at 7:30 when we noticed the vomit still there now just covered with tissue . We returned around midnight maybe 00:30am to notice the vomit still in reception on the floor . No one present around reception untill we went to the lift another gentleman popped his head around a corridor to see who was there . A staff member . We went away to bed again no issues with the room . I feel that maybe for a busy day like we witnessed more staff should have been available. And if ye felt ye had adequate staff then ye have a bigger problem with hygiene. For that vomit to be left there from when we first initially seen it untill more than likely the morning is a disgrace . Right inside the door of the hotel that everyone who walked in or out would have been met with this sight. My issue isn’t with the vomit on the floor at 5 o clock things happen it’s busy but for it to still be there after midnight I think is horrendous. When we checked out at 11am there was noone to be found to check us out . And the wet floor sign still there but thankfully nothing under it . Wouldn’t be in a hurry to stay there again considering the price we paid for a room also.

I stayed the night before and rebooked for last night and i have to say my experience was even better. 10 out of 10 all round. The restaurant staff of amelie and auguste to the management of daragh and soushil, could not have done enough for me. So glad to have got a second opportunity to stay here and have experienced this level of hospitality. Justyna on the desk was amazing also!

I stayed at the Maldron Portlaoise and although it got off to a rocky start i received some amazing hospitality from Daragh and justyna as well as Auguste. They looked after me in a big way and i can’t thank them enough . They looked after me constantly and made sure everything was up to an amazing standard
