Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport
Decent breakfast, no complaints. Room was spacious and quiet for a hotel close to airport. We ate in the Italian Kitchen and the bar restaurant. A little pricey but nice enough and convenient. Would recommend as cheaper that Dublin City centre and easily drivable if you have a car.

Clean room, lovely friendly staff, the bar was very stylish, didn’t have any food so can’t comment on that. Good location to explore Dublin by foot.
