Maldron Hotel Shandon Cork
Ordered Breakfast the night before, plenty of choice. Freindly staff making us feel welcome. Had access to the swimming pool and Sauna, jacuzzi was out of order. Stayed in a family room, that had plenty of room for us all.

The Dean Cork
Absolutely loved this hotel, already want to return. Room was spotless and the bed was so comfortable. The rooftop bar is lovely and the views are brilliant. Great place to base yourself, a small walk to the main streets and a very luxurious and comfy hotel.
