Clayton Hotel Burlington Road
I always enjoying staying at the Clayton Burlington because of the staff. They’ve always treated me well and the location fits what I need. The breakfast is wonderful, which is a great bonus.

Herbert Park Hotel
We were lucky to be upgraded on arrival from a king room to an apartment which was really well kitted out to such an extent we cooked our own breakfast. Such a great couple of days and the hotel is in a really good spot

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin
The rooms were quiet and the beds were comfortable. The staff overall were ok… but not excellent. When at the pub we always had to go and order at the bar, as they are not overly attentive.

Clink i Lár
In the 8 bed girls dorm there is a separate shower room and toilet in the room, which is great for mornings. The beds had good privacy too. Very central to Dublin City centre, transport is simple to navigate and everything is very walkable.
