Premier Inn Dublin Airport
Nice option if you want something near the airport, have seen enough of Dublin, and want to explore Swords (the castle was nice and there are a few classic pubs in town).

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.

Zanzibar Locke
Great place overall! Staff was great helping us with anything we needed.They went above and beyond to make our stay even better. This is also a great location as it is in the middle of everything. If we would visit Dublin again we would definitely stay here again.

The Residence Dublin
It's just a student accommodation thats been opened up for use during the summer. It's a nice area. Felt very safe and has some food and shopping nearby. Probably a 20 minute walk from the station and city centre. The accompdation was nice, modern and comfortable. Not as good as a traditional hotel ...
