Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Maldron Hotel Smithfield Dublin City is often praised for its spacious rooms and convenient location. The hotel is within walking distance of the city center, approximately 15-25 minutes, and close to attractions, as well as a Tesco. Some guests have mentioned the absence of air conditioning as a minor inconvenience, however, the hotel's proximity to dining options, including Delaney's pub and various restaurants, is generally considered a plus, as is the tasty and fresh breakfast.

helpful staff good location water bottles room service smoking policy balcony rule

The staff were helpful. The location was generally good. There were water bottles available in the room.

I asked reception to confirm the last orders for room service. I was told I could order until 8:40 pm, though the booklet in the room stated 9 pm. I tried to order around 8:10 pm, but room service was over. I paid extra for a balcony, yet I was told that smoking was not allowed on the balcony.

The housekeeping was not good. the bed sheets and pillow cover smelled bad, as if they were previously used and left unwashed. the towels in the shower were also not clean. They had strained marks from previous use.
