NYX Hotel Dublin Portobello
Lovey hotel, but far out but nothing too bad. Room lighting is an issue - it’s either full brightness or pitch black. You’ll see how annoying this is when you stay

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin
Beautiful hotel, great breakfast options, clean and friendly staffs. The only problem was the noise every night from the club next door. If you can ignore that, this is definitely a great stay AND they have amazing restaurants options in the neighborhood. The pros definitely out ways that one ...

Radisson Blu Hotel, Dublin Airport
Walking distance to the air port, clean amenities, food wasn’t all that good, and service wasn’t all that fast, but overall I’d give my stay 4 stars. Some desk staff were very helpful while a couple others came off a bit rude.
