Unfortunately our plane was delayed along with 12,000 other people at the airport in Dublin . Thank goodness for the Clayton hotel , we were so lucky to have gotten a room here . The hotel is absolutely beautiful, the staff is so incredibly friendly and understanding (they even assisted in a medical issue a friend of mine was experiencing that required urgent professional attention) . The rooms are very clean and comfortable and the breakfast was amazing and a huge variety of. Thank you so much for our stay !
Nothing … perfect !

The location is great. The pubs in the area have really good food, ambiance and service quality, I.e. Searson’s and The Bridge. It is easy to take the train to central Dublin
It was all good.

Beautiful property, friendly staff and clean accommodations. The food at their restaurant was delicious. Great overall experience.
The plumbing was a bit finicky. Be prepared to do the Hokey Pokey in the shower because the water goes from freezing to scalding in a matter of seconds. The sink was slow to drain. The parking garage is an adventure to navigate for people that aren’t used to driving in tight spaces.

Like the repurposed use of the property. Old but updated. Kind staff.
No refrigerator in room. Had to take insulin medication to bar for refrigeration. No top sheet. Bed covers too heavy. Needed a lighter cover.

Beautiful hotel.
Staff was not very helpful. We asked for items after someone barged into our room one night to see how things were going and still never received them. Just a little disappointed.

The front desk staff was very friendly and courteous. They ensured that our expectations were met upon arrival and throughout the couple of days we stayed at the hotel. The staff in the restaurant was great as well. They prepared an excellent meal for us on our last day.

Great location in South Dublin. Plenty of parking available. Travelled with my wife and 10 month old baby. The cot was good and the staff were helpful with regards to baby food, etc. A good hotel in a good location.
No fridge in the room, I would consider this the bare minimum especially when travelling with a baby. Also, there was a scarcity of pillows and we couldn't get more.
