The Devlin Dublin
Hotel was quiet and I had an early meeting but was put in a room over the noisy bar next to a noisy street well into the early hours disturbed by night club goers. Never again

I only stayed for one night but it was quite nice. Also, the airport is just a quick walk away, so if you don't have a lot to carry, it's very doable.
