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.

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin
Very clean, well kept, very kind and helpful staff! Breakfast was good and fresh but we only ate there once and bar service was great! I missed having coffee or tea in my room, they have a galley on each floor with supplies for coffee and tea but it was a ways from our room! No ice machine either ...
