Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport
Stayed here a couple of times. Nice hotel, good food selection and the little coffee bar is a gem. The coach to and from the airport is a lifesaver. Overall a good place to stay.

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin
My room was lovely, and clean and comfortable. The only thing they could add to comfort is have a kettle or coffee machine in the room, instead of the galley!

Hotel Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin
This is hands down one of the best hotels I ever stayed at, and I've been staying at hotels in several cities around the world. The room was spacious, clean and very modern. Bathroom was excellent with a really nice shower. Staff very friendly and service minded. The breakfast had all you can ask ...
