10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is right across the road from the Celtic Sea with a beautiful beach to go for a walk. There is a pub as well as a restaurant attached to the hotel with great food. I would definitely stay here again if in Ireland."

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport Central

8/10 Good
"Slightly expensive for what it is - an airport hotel. Room was clean. Unable to adjust the temperature, freezing cold all night. The front desk staff were helpful while still managing to convey the impression that I was an inconvenience. There was no discussion about how late the bar was open, if the kitchen was open or what time breakfast started. And yet they charged my phone for me. This was a last minute booking just to get some sleep between flights on a long layover. It was fine for that."

Malahide Guest Rooms

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed in the traditional double room with king bed and ensuite for our last night in Ireland. We were warmly greeted by Tiia who showed us our room and the amenities in the kitchen area. She was a pleasure to chat with and full of helpful suggestions, The room was clean, cozy, quiet with a comfy bed and nice shower. It is a short walk to the Malahide castle and it's lovely gardens and trails. It is also a short 10-15 minute walk into the village in which we enjoyed a nice dinner at the Greedy Goose. We would definitely stay here again on our way out of town. So much better than an airport hotel."
