Top Ballymun Hotel Reviews

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Liked the convenience of airport shuttle"

Clontarf Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great castle to stay at and lovely area to walk around in. Little rooms to sit and talk and enjoy the space. The interior room was quiet and it was fun to see all the different art work. Another church was a couple blocks away with a graveyard. Easy to get on a bus line and to get an uber."

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin by IHG

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel for what it is. Small-ish rooms with the shower in the middle of the room but i guess that's the trend now for new hotels...? Super odd but is what it is. Staff is super helpful and really nice. Loved the free/unlimited tea as i dont drink coffee but they do have free drip coffee for those that do. Also really enjoyed that the hotels location is very central - 10 min walk to Temple St + Ha'penny Bridge, 10-15 min walk over the bridge to Trinity College, 20 min walk to the Guinness storehouse, Elliot's coffee + bakery is right across the street. The only negative is, if you're sensitive to scents, the knockoff Le Labo scent pumped into the lobby when you walk it. Would be great if that was toned down - such a headache ! Other than that, had a nice stay - easy spot."
