Top Dublin Hotel Reviews

Ashling Hotel Dublin

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, great bar & restaurant! Easy access to tram, museum and hop on hop off bus! We upgraded to king room and loved it!"

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is beautful! Clean areas, lovely lounge , coffee , snacks on entry. Room and beds are comfortable . Only thing is that if you are on the first floor , there is an elevator to go up but then you still have a short flight of stairs to manage to get to your room. Inconvenient if you have a lot of heavy luggage to manage. There is a convenient store for snacks/gas, fast food . Nothing else is around . It will cost about 26€ to get to downtown"

Hilton Garden Inn Dublin City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay with river view"
