Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport

10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel. The shuttle system was super easy from the airport to this hotel. A convenient store is across the street in case you need anything and the hotel itself was clean with very friendly staff. This location is perfect for transportation between the airport, but I would not recommend it if you are visiting and looking to explore Dublin daily unless you have a car rental. Ubers into Dublin were super pricey from this location and it is not in a location that is easily walkable given the distance. Overall the hotel itself was a great stay and we would go back again if we needed to catch an early flight! "
