Sunday Night Stay
Some staff took cash payments and others would only take card payment. Other than that nice hotel and comfortable beds and pillows. Fried eggs had run out by the time we got down (9ish).

Great location and very pleasant hotel. Only negative is that gym does not open until 9am so no use for a pre-breakfast workout. Supper in the restaurant was of a good standard and Staff all very friendly and helpful

Great Stay
We arrived early and front desk had our two rooms already ready! We checked in without issues, had free onsite parking, nothing to complain about as it was perfect use for our one night stay. Very secure hotel as well.

While off a busy road, it's situated in an area that is walkable to a number of places. I don't mind the walk and it took 20 minutes to reach the city center and 30 minutes to walk to the north campus of Univ of Galway. The facilities are modern and tidy. The unexpected surprise was having a convenience store on the premise - cheaper prices for things than $20 euro breakfast.

We only stayed overnight but it was clean, bed was comfortable. It is a chained hotel and we stayed at another Maldron in Dublin. I like that they are consistent and therefore reliable and meet expectation.
