Beckett Locke
Very nice hotel for the $. We did have a slight problem with the hot water for a few days while we were there, but we were out and about anyways. The best part about this hotel was the separate bedrooms with queens beds for my daughter and I. Also, the breakfast downstairs is amazing!!! Really good ...

Clayton Hotel Burlington Road
We travel to Dublin 1-2 times a year, and the Clayton is always our go to. Convenient to city centre, clean, easy parking — and always such kind staff (we have two young kids and the staff, particularly those at breakfast are so friendly!)
