We had a wonderful stay at the Maldron Hotel Smithfield! Being able to park downstairs and check in early at 10:00 AM after an overnight flight into Dublin was a huge plus. We dropped our bags and immediately headed out to explore. The location is unbeatable: the Jameson Distillery tour is right next door, Collins Barracks is a quick walk away (free entry and a great café!), and the Fresh Market right downstairs made grabbing drinks and snacks so convenient.
We walked over to Temple Bar for dinner, though taxis were readily available for anyone wanting a ride. Breakfast the next morning was delightful, featuring a fantastic spread of hot and cold options—the rashers, Irish sausage (my personal favorite!), black and white pudding, fresh fruit, breads, and pastries were all delicious. Checkout was a breeze, making for a completely stress-free stay. We will definitely stay here again!
