Top hotels in Shandon
Maldron Hotel Shandon Cork
I’d like this hotel and the location it’s a bit of a walk to the main area, but if you’re in good condition, it’s not a problem. One of the downfalls of this hotel is that the parking is so tight that I had to have people move their cars in order for me to get mine out a little scary.
