Top hotels in Clontarf

Clontarf Castle Hotel
Check-in was very slow as the people working there decided maybe they didn’t have to show up at the checkout counter. Line was long. The rooms are clean pillows are not great and you might as well stay at a holiday Inn.

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport
Clean and modern hotel located minutes from the airport, coffee bar, and a couple of restaurants on site. There is also a petrol station with fast food options just across the street. There is parking available for a fee. The rooms were clean and comfortable and more importantly quiet.
