Maldron Hotel Sandy Road Galway

Maldron Hotel Sandy Road Galway

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed here for 3 nights, a little out of the city but you can catch a bus right outside or take a 20 minute stroll in (if weather is ok). On a busy road but couldn't hear the traffic. Nice little bar area in which you can order bar snacks or opt for the resturant which was lovely. Attached to a petrol station if a snack is needed instead. Didn't have breakfast so can't comment. We would stay again as managed to rest at night which is much needed when using the hotel as a base like we did."
