Carlton Dublin Airport Hotel

Well-run and comfortable airport hotel

This hotel is located just off the Dublin airport, with car rental services close by. We booked this stay to ease our return flight to the U.S. the next morning and were not disappointed. The reception clerk told us that rooms with baths were located over a function hall that would be loud that evening, but when he saw the disappointment on my wife’s face inquired and found an open room with bath in a quieter part of the hotel. The modern room has warm, dark granite counters and trim; the tub/shower was very comfortable. The bed was king-sized and well-furbished. Internet access was wired, with ethernet cable included. We ate in the bistro, which surprisingly offered meals at prices comparable to centre Dublin. Our wakeup call came on time, and the free shuttle service got us to our terminal in good time. They did exactly what we expected, and with a feeling of luxury throughout.

Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay

Don’t settle for the first room offered...when we asked, we were given what we were looking for, and with no unpleasant surprises.

Close to Dublin Airport and Car Rentals

Very nice hotel. Clean and comfortable. Arrived late (just after midnight) to find that they had sold my room to a bulk flight delayed (had requested double bed), received the last room in the house which was two single beds. Not the end of the world, but would have liked them to take note of my room request and notice of late arrival on reservation, so that I could get what I had booked and paid for and not been just lucky to get the last room. Night manager has an attitude problem. Limited toiletries in bathroom and no bathrobe, despite features mentioned on booking.

Traveler's tip for business travelers

On the parameter road of the airport. Great view of runway and planes, yet well insulated for noise control. Shuttle bus to airport every 30 mins. Right next to Car Rental dealers ... can walk from/to hotel to pick up/drop off rental car. Did not bring laptop with me, so had to PAY for online time at lobby pc. No business center or free pc use despite hotel class and excecutive rooms.

Better elsewhere

Small rooms,small beds, paper thin walls. Noisy parking lot. SLOW service in the restaurant. Shuttle was told no reservations needed but a crowd showed up and several did not fit and had to wait.
