Traveller from Beverley stayed in November,2008

Guest Comment:
We have stayed at the Maldron twice now, it is a lovely hotel. The only down side is that it is a good 15 minute walk from O'Connell Street. There is a lot of building work going on close to the hotel (across the road)which was a bit noisy but finished around 4pm. It wasn't a problem because we were out and about all day. The leisure facilites are very relaxing after a full days walking and shopping.

Top Tip:
Take a walk round the hotel block and into Grand Central Square. Contemporary buildings around the quay, very nice area to sit and have lunch. Every type of restaurant you can think of available in the town. A must try is Yamamori (Japanese)near the Arlington Hotel, O'Connell bridge Wonderful food experience, the sushi and shasimi is a delight. The pubs around Temple Bar are great. The Ha'penny Bridge Inn has live music on Friday and Saturday nights (upstairs). There is no cover charge either! They have a Blues/Blue grass (don't be put off by this) two piece group on Saturday nights who are incredible musicians. They have won awards in Nashville. An incredible night of entertainment not to be missed. NB Dublin is expensive so be prepared to spend a lot! This hasn't put us off going again (already been twice this year) - we are already planning our return.
