8/10 Good
"Great location, close to Temple Bar and, walkable to most ‘touristy’ locations. Our room was a great size, clean and had everything we needed."

Clayton Hotel Burlington Road

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel had a bus stop right at the door which made it very convenient to navigate public transit. Everything was clean and the staff was friendly. Breakfast was delicious and gluten free options were appreciated. My one complaint would be the water pressure in the shower, very weak. I was also woken up by a domestic dispute next door and the staff was on it fairly quickly thanks to the reception being staffed 24/7."

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport Central

10/10 Excellent
"I booked this room within 48 hours notice as our flights to our next destination were delayed. The reception staff were extremely helpful related to check in and travel information. This hotel was recommended by staff at their sister company, the Maldron Hotel in Dublin City Central. Myself and travel partner arrived hours prior to check in and the room was ready at the scheduled check-in time with an option to check in early for a fee. The two restaurants in the hotel were both clean and welcoming. The food was excellent and decently priced. The Lounge restaurant had some slightly cheaper options than The Collage, with some overlapping dishes on both menus. Extremely convenient location with free shuttle service 24/7 from hotel to airport. Ensure to read the signage as there is an orange shuttle bus to the airport *central* location and a coach bus to the airport location. Both rides to each hotel were comfortable. The Lounge restaurant had some slightly cheaper options than The Collage, and had some overlapping dishes on the menu. The room itself was spotless, with extra pillows and blankets on the shelf, iron and iron in board, tea/coffee tray, mini fridge, safe, hairdryer, towels, shampoo/conditioner and body wash. Easy check-out process with no issues throughout our stay. I would recommend and stay here again. They were also close to other restaurants and within walking distance with sidewalk or designated footpaths. Parking also available for a fee."
