"This is an excellent hotel in a great location. However, I was not impressed with the affiliated restaurant (Buskers) next door. Also wasn’t a fan of the tight shower space, but that was still usable. Easy walk to trinity, and a nice 1 mile walk to Guinness brewery."

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was a perfect midway between the airport and Dublin center. The free shuttles to and from the airport were frequent and easy, as well as cabs /ubers into the city. The bed was SO comfortable and the room was spacious and clean. Lobby has great coffee (not Instant!) and pastries etc and a nice bar and Italian restaurant. It was comfortable and always bustling! Our flight came in at 6:00 am, we were pleasantly greeted as we walked into the hotel and offered to freshen up in the restrooms and store our luggage for the day until check in. Very happy with our decision to stay at the Clayton Airport on Clonshaugh Rd"
