Top Swords Hotel Reviews

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport

8/10 Good
"Solid hotel convenient to Dublin airport. The breakfast was the highlight, paying for parking was the lowlight. Including parking in the price or letting customers know ahead of time would be more transparent. It was crazy crowded, so having only three elevators complicates things when checking in. The fitness center is way too small (with no air flow) for the amount of folks staying there. That said, beds were comfy, shower had great water pressure, rooms came with a fridge. Overall, a reliable choice for the night before a flight."
