I had a wonderful experience. The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Every dish was full of flavor and prepared to a high standard. The service was equally impressive—friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. The staff made sure everything was perfect and created a great dining experience. I would definitely recommend this place and look forward to coming back.

Friendly staffTasty foodClean
We had our supper at the restaurant tonight, myself and 4 children, we had a lovely meal and the waiters Jamie and Daragh and waitress Alisha were so accomondating with us, making sure all children felt very welcome. Which made all of us have a lovely evening. Food was also delicious, lovely place to eat.
This was our third time staying at the Maldron Hotel Portlaoise, and once again we had a great experience. The rooms were spotlessly clean, comfortable and well maintained.
The staff were all very friendly and welcoming, and the bar staff were particularly pleasant. The food was very good, and we really enjoyed our meals during our stay.
One of the best things about this hotel is its location. It’s situated beside a shopping centre with an M&S Foodhall and plenty of other places to eat, making it ideal for families or anyone who doesn’t want to eat in the hotel for every meal.
The hotel also has excellent pool and gym facilities, along with plenty of convenient parking. We have always enjoyed our stays here and would have no hesitation in recommending the Maldron Hotel Portlaoise. We look forward to returning again.
