Maldron Hotel Sandy Road Galway

Maldron Hotel Sandy Road Galway

5/5 Excellent
Good spot will stay again
"Our stay was lovely, nice walk into town and back everyday. Beds very comfy, free on site parking, rooms cleaned every day, biscuits replenished daily and complimentary water in fridge. Only negative was interconnecting rooms, we could hear them talking as if they were in our room. First night we had group of males partied until 5:15 a.m. then they started the music the next morning before they left. The rest of our stay was quiet. We will return again."
