Top Ballymun Hotel Reviews

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport

10/10 Excellent

"It’s a lovely hotel to stay in with 24 hour shuttle bus to and from the airport"

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here the first night when I arrived in Dublin. The staff is extremely helpful. The food is great, and the coffee is fantastic. They have an excellent breakfast. The only flipside of this is you could hear people who are drunk in the night walking by and making a lot of noise. This is out of hotels control and it is not their fault. Overall, I highly recommend this place to anybody who wants to stay a night in Dublin because if it’s convenient location. It is located in the Hart of the city with a lot of reading spots around it. All the touristy spots are just on the other side of the river it’s a fantastic location to be in."
