Called into the Malin Hotel on Sunday for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The decor in this hotel is just beautiful and is more like a country house in many ways. Everyone was very happy with their lunch and the staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. Thanks to all!!!

we just got home today after spending our last two days in the Malin hotel
very friendly staff , food is excellent room was really lovely very french style and very quaint we loved it , it was like going from to home with a difference , thanks to all the staff in the malin hotel we really enjoyed our stay and we enjoyed the beauty that surrounds you , has to be seen to believed

First visit on 9/8/11, there were 6 of us.The adults had the roast beef, mash & veg. The kids had mash & gravy. The gravy was absolutly wonderfull, i've never tasted gravy so good. Service & staff were excellant. Our second visit on 16/8/11 there were 7 of us, same order & again a fantastic meal. Will certainly go there again when i visit Malin.

After traveling 3hours to get to the malin hotel we had to wait an extra hour for our room to be ready (even though we were told check in was at 2). After reading the reviews before we came we expected friendly staff with a bit of Craic, this expectation wasn't met. The waitresses during the day were very unenthusiastic & the bar food wasn't great. The room was clean however there was nothing to do in the town & even the next town carndough hasn't much to offer. The evening meal in the jack yeates restaurant was standard and the menu was very limited. We didnt recieve fresh towels on the second day, despite leaving the hanger for house keeping on the door & had to ask at reception for towels (after tracking down a member of staff) In the mornings for breakfast there was no staff around to let us know if we could come on in for breakfast & how everything worked. We were also told to leave our key at reception if we wanted to go out but each time failed to find a member of staff to leave the key with. This would be an appropriate location for an older couple for one night, if I were to go back I'd stay at a hotel with a spa.
