Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport
Very modern and clean facility. It was a quick stay for transit but I was surprised by the quality of food I ordered in the bar restaurant. Breakfast had a great line up of Irish breakfast as well. Airport shuttle was easy to use.

Really cool place with a really cool vibe. The breakfast buffet was a little pricey, but definitely worth it. Great drinks, friendly, and attentive staff very professional. Great location.

Hotel Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin
Lovely staff, building, and location is convenient. Also, one of the most inconvenient & bizarre, maze-like layouts I’ve ever seen. It’s a bit like lipstick on a pig, looks lovely but just okay.
