Madison House

Room was tiny. No reception. We never saw anyone that worked for the hotel. This was especially a problem when some people staying at the hotel got locked out at 3am and spent half an hour banging on the door trying to get someone to let them in.

I missed my connecting bus from cork and was stuck with a room to stay in. The hotel couldn’t have been anymore helpful in me getting accommodation. Very comfortable room at great value. The bedroom is so spacious and very comfortable.Couldn’t recommend it more.

Lovely place to stay.. ideally located next to Eyre Square. Stayed here a few times and always has been a pleasant experience. Super quiet and secure throughout. Rooms were always very clean and well maintained. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting the area. Definitely will be staying again !!

I was very nervous when there was not a single TripAdvisor review, but we needed 3 rooms for 6 of us with 48 hour notice. Everywhere else I had looked had no vacancy. So I took a shot in the dark. I struggle with giving the rating because for what it is… a clean room and bathroom, it was Very good. Feel this would be 5 Star for a group of 4 young people opting for this room over a youth hostel. I rated 4 because the noise made it impossible to sleep. And for what it is… it is a clean room and a clean bathroom. But in the future, I would plan ahead and ensure I’m not in a desperate situation and stay at a real hotel. Note - it is contactless entry. They email you a code for your lock box and tell you your room number. Because there is no parking, we drove to the suggested location to park (€24 a night). When you arrive, look for the mural of the indigenous women. The entrance is the walking alley between Scone restaurant and Bocho Tex Mex. Where the email says “When you enter the property you will find lock boxes on the right-hand side wall,” it means walk well into the alley and look to the right where the back door of Scone is. It is on their right hand side of their back door. Room 10 was the most spacious room with two twin beds and a queen. And you had room to walk around. This was the room we gathered in to sit on a bed / floor to talk and head out. The bathroom was large with space and was ADA accessible. Room 9 was the second most spacious family room with twin bunk beds and a queen bed. Room 6 also had twin bunk beds and a queen bed but the least amount of space. It felt claustrophobic for me since I took the side of the bed in between the queen and bunk beds. That gave my husband the space by the desk. But there was no extra room for me to be on that side of the room. I assume there is a greater need for rooms that sleep 4 people so they packed the beds. This room would be nice without the bunk beds and add a chair. There is no way this room could accommodate 4 people’s luggage. My husband and I use small carry on luggage & a backpack and we barely fit. There is a huge armoire that you could unpack your things but I felt it was unnecessary in the room (but maybe if 4 people were trying to hang clothes?) We used the bunk beds as shelves for our shower bags and items and unless one of you is laying down the entire time, the room is tight. (I can not imagine 4 people in this room). Bathroom - clean and very small. The shower doors open up at an angle. If you are a very large person, you will have trouble. There is zero space for anything in the bathroom but you. The towels and extra YP are rolled into a hanging rack behind the door of the bathroom. There is no place for you to put your own bar soap or shampoo in the shower. (They have one fixed gel soap I assume for the body inside the shower. I use my own soaps/ shampoos but there was zero place to store it inside the shower. I did my best to balance it when in th
