    Testimonials

    “The meeting rooms are always of a very high standard”

    I have used the conference facilities in The Maldron Hotel Sandy Road, Galway, on a number of occasions when holding my learning seminars. I am continuously impressed with the courteousness of the staff who are always on-hand to help – there’s never a problem too big or too small to attend to.

    The facilities within the meeting rooms are always of a very high standard. Everything from the neat layout of the room to the reliability of the presentation material (large screen, clear and reliable audio, fresh flip-chart with amply spare supplies).

    I always feel at ease when I hold a learning seminar in The Maldron Sandy Road, Galway as I know these details are taken care of in advance, allowing me to concentrate on my work. I’m happy to recommend the venue as a premier conferencing location, priced competitively.

    Seán Lally, The Study Coach

    “excellent venue for a conference”

    Maldron Hotel Sandy Road, Galway is an excellent venue for a conference. Self-contained conference area gives delegates space to network, multiple tea/coffee island ensure all delegates are never short of a cuppa. Over the last 3 years, the friendly, efficient staff lead by Sinead Bourke (events co-ordinator) looked after our every need ensuring that the SAOLTA Urology/Continence Nurses Network (SUNN) conference was stress-free, educational and networking event.

    We look forward to 2020, revisiting the Maldron for our next conference and tasting some more of their fantastic cuisine. We would highly recommend the Maldron Hotel Sandy road for educational events/meetings and conferences.

    The SUNN Committee

    “Nothing short of excellent”

    Our experience with the Maldron Hotel Sandy Road has been nothing short of excellent.  As a local Galway business, we have used their meeting facilities a number of times and have found the team to be extremely professional and always on hand to support with any queries or requirements, from catering needs to the meeting room set-up.  Their newly refurbished meeting rooms provide an excellent location for meetings and training sessions and the hotel has adapted to ensure a safe environment during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic – a critical requirement for our meeting attendees.  We would be confident in recommending the Maldron Hotel Sandy Road to others.
