Top Smotscourt Hotel Reviews

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport

8/10 Good

"Room was clean with a very comfortable bed. Bathroom wasnt a very good logistical layout: Shower was inside a very deep tub with no grab bars so it was a bit precarious to get in/out & and when bathroom door was open, it blocked the toilet entirely. There was no bottled water in room - for the price, there should be a complimentary bottle of water. The food bar (not restaurant) was extremely expensive - €9 for a small coffee & croissant is just too much but it was good coffee! Free airport shuttle is very nice but hard to find at airport - its the purple line, stop 16. The info provided said “bus” - i thought it was public bus & i was looking for hotel shuttle bus. Change wording to say “shuttle bus”. Fyi - bus Picks up & drops off at terminal 1 only (u must hoof it to terminal 2)."
