Maldron Hotel Merrion Road
Perfect hotel in a nice area outside of the city centre. The bus stop was conveniently right outside. Staff were helpful, rooms were clean, and the hotel itself was nice and peaceful. Pretty cheap for how nice it was.

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin
Very clean, well kept, very kind and helpful staff! Breakfast was good and fresh but we only ate there once and bar service was great! I missed having coffee or tea in my room, they have a galley on each floor with supplies for coffee and tea but it was a ways from our room! No ice machine either ...
