The room was very nice, and the area had a lot of shops and restaurants. It was hard to figure out where to park, but the hotel does have a good deal with a parking garage (we had to move our car over there after check in).

Nice place in the heart of Cork. We were given a basemenr room with no river view jist a wall of another building, most likely because we booked through Expedia and not direct. But it was a quiet and comfortable. Front desk staff are very welcoming.

First impressions were good - room was clean and modern. However, the farcical air con counteracts any good points as it was impossible to sleep. It's set centrally to 19 and you can't change it. This wouldn't be so bad if it actually worked but the room was boiling (especially early in the morning when the sun streamed in the floor-to-ceiling windows and the air con didn't kick in). When we spoke to reception they assured us that they would override the 'auto set to 19' feature to allow us to change the temperature. That night, the air con was disabled altogether so we ended up on the phone to reception at midnight and 2.30am when the person on the other end said 'yes I can see from here that your room is currently 23 degrees'. They then brought us a comically small desk fan. The next morning on checkout, I asked to speak to the manager to talk about this dreadful experience and was told that although he wasn't there right then, he would be in touch later. It's now been 10 days and I've sent 2 emails to the guest relations manager, and so far I have been ignored. If you can't give your guests a good night's sleep due to something as basic as temperature control, you're fundamentally failing in your purpose as a hotel. Unfortunately the Maldron seems to have a 'we've got your money so we don't care' approach to service. Especially disappointing considering we were in Cork to run the half marathon and could really have done with some sleep.
The Maldron's substitute for air con - bottle for scale

The Maldron Hotel South Mall in Cork is a great place to stay—clean, modern, and just a short 10-minute walk from shops, restaurants, and city sights. The rooms are fresh and comfortable, with cozy beds and surprisingly roomy bathrooms. Perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring. The staff were incredibly helpful. They held my bags for several hours after checkout and even called a taxi to the airport without me needing to ask. That kind of thoughtful service makes all the difference. And when you're hungry, you don’t need to go far. Just head downstairs—every meal I had there was delicious.

Very central location incredibly walkable to everything in the center of Cork. Easy to get to and from by car as well. Room was big and clean (but get above the "third" floor as it's street level and there are rooms below, facing a courtyard). Highly recommended as a base for exploring the many pubs, restaurants, cafés, and sights Cork and the surrounding countryside has to offer.

Location, location, location! We did not rent cars, we used Irish Train, Bus Tours, public transit, and mostly walking. Hotel close to everything, sights to see, restaurants, pubs, etc. We had a fantastic 4 days in Cork and area.
Oliver Plunket street and pub, only 3 min walk from hotel. You are truly in Cork City Center.

Unsettling Experience Despite Comfortable Stay

We booked four rooms for a one-night stopover in Cork. Check-in was scheduled for 3:00 PM, and we arrived around 3:45 PM. However, the front desk staff initially seemed unsure whether two of the four rooms were ready. After about 10 minutes, we were told all rooms were available. Our room was located on the first floor and had a musty smell, although the other rooms were fine. The beds were clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, our experience took a turn later that evening. At around 10:00 PM, we were startled when someone unexpectedly entered our room and exclaimed, “Oh no, someone is already staying in here!” Shortly after, the front desk called us to verify that we were indeed in the correct room. They then proceeded to call all four of our rooms to confirm who was checked in, which left us feeling quite uneasy for the rest of the night. We hope this was an isolated incident and not reflective of the hotel’s usual operations.

The front desk staff were not to inviting. In fact, one staff member was a bit rude. Location was good and there are quite a few restaurants in that area. Hotel interiors and rooms are updated and comfortable.

Hotel staff were very professional, friendly and helpful. The restaurant was excellent. We ordered room service 3 of the 5 nights we were there and every meal was incredibly delicious. But best of all the location was perfect! Very short (10 minutes or less) walking distance to lots of great restaurants, pubs and shopping. We even walked to the train station (only 12 minutes) to visit Cobh, a great seaside town just 1/2 hour ride from Cork.
