Clayton Hotel Ballsbridge

One of few hotels we could find in Dublin with two beds. Great hotel for the money. Not quite comfortable walking distance to the things we wanted to see. Taxi each way to the castle was almost $20 so add $40 per night to your cost if you compare to a hotel within walking distance. The elevators did go out several times during our stay and the power went out for about 5 minutes. We also had to change rooms because the window didn't close. All of that said and we still left with a positive experience. The resturant was convenient and reasonably priced. Definitely recommend adding breakfast to your rate. It was a great value.

It was a decent property but my first night stay was a nightmare in this hotel. Saw few of these in my room during the night time. Next morning I was moved to another room which was surely a better room with a beautiful view. Expected a lot from this property but wasn’t good enough. Would like to appreciate Reception lady Queen & Duty Manager for the overall help during the stay.

An absolutely beautiful hotel, reception excellent, Very pleasant.Rooms spacious clean and warm. Bar and restaurant nicely decorated, staff a bit scattered and the menu needs updating. Only complaint I could make is the lift.... works intermittently

On the plus side: impressive building, nicely located, mostly v polite staff, so it’s no mistake to book there. But for that price, the downsides are substantial, too: -notoriously understaffed - waiting at reception may take ages, even without a bus load of tourists arriving. - the place needs a makeover, especially rooms and bathrooms. And: No sockets next to the bed is so last century The bar is nice, we never had dinner or breakfast. Stayed there three times, but will not come back - it’s mostly the waiting that is so annoying. And they know it, because you get spammed with check-in online or check-out online mails.
