In a quieter residential area, quite close to the Aviva Stadium but did have good restaurants, pubs and supermarkets within 5-10 mins walk.

Marlin Hotel Stephens Green
Friendly staff. Good location. We had bought breakfast when we booked. Each morning that we had a tour prior to it opening, they packed a breakfast for us to take.

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport
ALL staff in every department were great. We ate at both restaurants but only can rate the “authentic” Italian restaurant good. It served the most salty prosciutto and most tasteless burrata I have ever experienced. Bar experience was great. We will definitely return.
