Top Drogheda Hotel Reviews

Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport

Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport

6/10 Okay
"Rooms are basic & bed was comfortable. The bathroom was poorly designed. The door basically hits the toilet when opening and closing and you can’t shower with the door open. One of the staff members was a little rude upon checking in. She seemed like the manager because she was telling the other employees what to do but was also rude/mean to them. Work place seems toxic. There was a new front desk employee helping us and she was sweet! The lounge was nice to have. There is a shuttle that takes you to the airport every 20 min. And it’s a 5 min drive which is nice and convenient. "
