Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport

10/10 Excellent
"Did not spend a lot of time there (arrive late and had an early flight in the morning) but the staff were helpful and the room was nice. It is extremely convienient for Dublin Airport, 9 min to the car return and a short run to the airport. Did not get chance to try the bar or get breakfast."

Hotel Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin

8/10 Good
"This hotel is perfectly located and the breakfast is amazing. The standard rooms are tiny but that is to be expected. The washroom was spacious. The only negative was that we were there during a heatwave in August and the air conditioning never got the room cool enough !! I would stay there again in a heartbeat!"

Hilton Garden Inn Dublin City Centre

Hilton Garden Inn Dublin City Centre

8/10 Good
"Clean and comfortable hotel in a good location. There was some initial confusion over the late check-out time, but this was rectified easily and without any problems. We didn't stay for breakfast as we had an early start, so can't comment on that. The restaurant food, however, was fairly mediocre and quite expensive for what it was. Overall, a pleasant and comfortable stay, but the dining experience could definitely be improved."
