Location
8.7
Multiple comments note the hotel is very well located or in a good location; a small minority cited location as a drawback, but overall location is a strong point.

Amenities
8
Good family-friendly amenities (pool, kids' park, games room, gym) and breakfast space, but pool restrictions for children in the evening and isolated reports of sauna/fridge issues lower the score slightly.

Several reviewers explicitly said the rooms and breakfasts offered good value; one guest objected to an extra upgrade charge, but general sentiment supports solid value.

Don’t pay extra for an executive suite !!! I’m undecided if I would go back or not
Pros:

Friendly and good location

Cons:

We got an executive suite which was expensive and expected a lot more it was like your average room with a pair of slippers thrown in and a robe .
The bathroom wasn’t great either . I keep wondering did they mix the rooms up or what .

Greedy extra charge
Pros:

Room was nice.

Cons:

We had travelled 4 hours to arrive in Oran more to a wedding. We arrived at 12.00. We asked if we could have an early check-in and were told that would be an additional €40. We thought we might have to wait for the room to be ready but we were shocked that once we paid the extra charge we were told immediately that the room was ready. €40 for a room that was already ready? I thought this was unnecessary and greedy from the Maldron. Won’t be staying again for that reason.
