Clayton Hotel Ballsbridge
Lovely, grand hotel. Rooms are a bit dated, and fresh, lighter coloured furniture would be preferred. Bed was very comfy. Shower screens rather than shower curtains would be preferred. Nice touch to have biscuits and water in the room. If fridges were added to the rooms, that would be good too. Lovely ...

The hotel was clean and inviting. Being centrally located, I felt 2-3 blocks from everything. The hotel staff were very friendly and gave the best of service, even when busy.

Clink i Lár
In the 8 bed girls dorm there is a separate shower room and toilet in the room, which is great for mornings. The beds had good privacy too. Very central to Dublin City centre, transport is simple to navigate and everything is very walkable.
