How does the parking system work?

On arrival, you will need to collect the parking ticket for the barrier to open. Please keep it safe throughout your stay and don’t forget to validate it at the hotel reception on departure. Once validated, drive up to the car park exit barrier in -1 level and settle the amount due at the pay station located beside the parking attendant’s desk.

Where do I validate the ticket to receive a special rate?

You can validate your ticket at the hotel reception.

Which parking level should I use?

Please drive down to -2 level as this is the level where you will have direct access to the hotel (please follow Maldron signage for direct hotel access).

Can I get in and out as many times as I need?

Yes, however, it would not be financially effective as you would need to pay every time you leave parking and collect another ticket on your return.

How do I pay for the car park?

You can drive up to the car park exit barrier in -1 level and settle the amount due at the pay station located beside the parking attendant’s desk.

What if I have an issue with parking?
