Marlin Hotel Stephens Green
Room was a potential risk to life. The plug socket is hanging off the wall. The shower sprayed water out of the hose attachment every where and the bathroom floor was dusty.

Clean pleasant hostel in a great location. However, I payed extra for a city view room and was on floor 5 of 10 which wasn't great.

Clayton Hotel Burlington Road
The staff was wonderful and very welcoming and I was checked in way earlier than my 3pm check in time slot. The hotel is located in a very nice neighborhood and close enough to the city center and the Dublin must see sites!! Highly recommended!!!
