Maldron Hotel Portlaoise

Overall good

Very pleasant staff. Good location. The room was comfortable. There was plenty of hot water in the shower.

The hot food for breakfast was luke warm every morning. This is what brought my score down

Staff were really lovely, from the girl at reception to bar/restaurant. Rooms were spacious and clean (albeit a little on the warmer side) and had what you would need. Pool was nice. Dinner was good with nice options. Breakfast was great. Handy having other amenities like food court and shop/garage beside it. Plenty of free parking. Overall a nice stay.

Sadly, we didn't enjoy the atmosphere in the bar/restaurant... it didn't feel like somewhere you could really relax or comfortably enjoy a few drinks as it is mainly all upright dinner chairs & tables. (Its used as bar/ restaurant & breakfast area all in one) Nothing against it. It serves it's purpose. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, but we just prefer something with more coziness and atmosphere/music, but thats on us. We should have checked this before booking. We ended up going back to our room early rather than spending time down there. Just something to consider if you are staying here. Would be perfect for business or a stop over but not a destination hotel. But overall a nice stay.

The best breakfast i have ever had. Bed was so comfortable. Would book and stay again

Facilities

All good.
