Comfy bed but not easy to get into in the dark. Hotel very clean and stagf are very friendly and professional. Breakfast is value for money and great choice. Great base for Dublin as so close to so many of the sights.

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport Central
Biggest plus is the proximity to the airport and the free shuttle service. The room was clean, but only one luggage stand for two suitcases. Had a sandwich at the bar that was good, but the bar/restaurant could have used another helper. Staff was friendly and got us checked in/out quickly.

Clayton Hotel Burlington Road
The hotel was very clean and well maintained. Every staff member I spoke with was friendly and knowledgeable. The only negative is that it is a little further from the city center than I thought it would be, but still not terrible
