Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin
The arrival was very smooth, we got to the hotel at around 10am which we were worried we would need to keep our bags until 3pm but they tagged them and placed them in a secure room for us to collect later that day.

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.
