Fodor's Expert Review Maldron Hotel Newlands Cross

This four-story franchise hotel on the southwest outskirts of the city is cheap, cheerful, and especially ideal if you're planning to travel to the west or southwest of Ireland and you don't want to deal with Dublin's crazy morning traffic. The hotel is emulating the formula popularized by Jurys Inns, in which rooms—here each has a double bed, a single bed, and a sofa bed—are a flat rate for up to three adults or two adults and two children.
