Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin

I highly recommend this hotel. It’s literally close to everything. It’s so walkable to most major tourist spots. I will definitely stay here again when I visit Dublin.

Clean room, great cafe/workspace downstairs and great staff. We also loved the location. I can’t think of anything bad to say. We had a great visit!

Clayton Hotel Burlington Road
We travel to Dublin 1-2 times a year, and the Clayton is always our go to. Convenient to city centre, clean, easy parking — and always such kind staff (we have two young kids and the staff, particularly those at breakfast are so friendly!)
