Maldron Hotel Kevin Street, Dublin City
Nice sized room; excellent service from front desk staff; very good breakfast; not the most comfortable beds; pretty convenient location. Needed to request fresh towels every day because there was only one hook to hang and dry the four bathroom towels on. Would consider staying there again.
