Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport
The shuttle service to the airport was helpful and easy to find. If you were planning to go downtown Dublin you take the shuttle back to the airport and catch the bus downtown. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable.

Everything was fine

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin
The room was clean and well maintained. The shower is cleary visible in the room with a glass wall. This did not bother me and my husband but I could see how it would be a problem for some people. The galley which was very far away from our room is impractical.

Clayton Hotel Burlington Road
The staff was wonderful and very welcoming and I was checked in way earlier than my 3pm check in time slot. The hotel is located in a very nice neighborhood and close enough to the city center and the Dublin must see sites!! Highly recommended!!!
