Top Dublin Hotel Reviews

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport

8/10 Good
"We really liked this hotel. It is clean, welcoming and convenient to the airport. The free shuttle service is great. We also liked the bar and restaurant areas. However, we could not give this place full marks for 2 reasons. Firstly, the check-in is very impersonal, being entirely online with no direct contact with staff. And secondly, the hotel room was too hot to sleep comfortably and there was no individual controls for temperature in the room. Therefore, we did not sleep well. If these two things were addressed, this place would be outstanding."
