I woke up to a beautiful view of the Liffey river. That was wonderful. The beds were comfortable. Me and my daughters slept well in the room with 2 double beds. Shower was wonderful. Happy with the Crabtree & Evelyn toiletries. Laundry was not an issue... great that the launderette was easily accessible. The business center had 1 desktop. Two guests were using the space and readily let me use the desktop when I needed to. We stayed for a good 3 nights and had a lot of baggage as my daughter was finishing school there. The hotel helped us get the baggage down. Leaving the hotel, the parking space for drop-off and pick-up could hold up to 4 cars at most. The hotel let us double park to pick our things up. So, all is good.

Pro’s - new hotel so it was very clean and trendy. Great shower pressure. Location is pretty good. Breakfast is great but very busy so a lot of the product runs out quick, more hot options would be good.
Con’s - the men working on the counters weren’t too friendly or welcoming upon arrival. no coffee station in room, they have these located in the ‘galley’ which is just sachet coffee, for the room price I think that a simple coffee machine would be appreciated by all guests.

I stayed at the Clayton Hotel Galway recently and found the hotel itself to be comfortable, with clean rooms and friendly staff. The facilities were good, and the breakfast was decent, offering a reasonable selection. However, the location is quite far from Galway’s main train and bus stations, which made getting into the city centre less convenient without a car. Public transport options are limited, so you may need to rely on taxis or long walks if you don’t have your own transport. This hotel is better suited for those attending events nearby or travelling by car rather than visitors wanting easy access to Galway city centre.
The hotel is beautiful and steeped in history. Breakfast was very nice and location is convenient for the airport. My only issue was we stayed in room 003 and in the morning about 4am delivery trucks starting driving back and forth down the side alley which actually woke us up as the window was open. One of the trucks even decided to back up down the alley with a constant beep beep beep which was really annoying. I'm not sure why he just didn't turn around but clearly he chose not to. The other small issue was the shower took forever to drain but this is an easy fix which the hotel said they would look after. Other than that, the stay was wonderful.

Everything was not bad at all. Even good. We were even glad that this hotel corresponds to the star rating, that the service is European, and not this British horror...
And then, on the last night, from 2:30 to 5:30 in the morning we did not sleep, along with our neighbors, because someone was celebrating something so loudly that they left no chance for sleep. And no one calmed them down. It was just a village mugging-stop kapets... But otherwise, a good place.

Attend daughter’s convocation and stayed here for 4 days. Very good location with bus and tram stations in walking distance. Walking to Trinity College Dublin just 15-20 minutes away, and you can feel the pace of the city along your way.
What I like most is Leonardo Hotel provides iron board in the room. Each floor of the hotel also provides water dispenser.

The hotel is in an excellent location. Many shops, pubs, tourist attractions and restaurants are near by. Public transit also makes it easy to get to and from the hotel.
One towel was dirty and the tissues looked as they had been used.
In an effort to safe the amount of toiletries used the hotel has bottles of soap and shampoo invaded. This made it difficult to use.
The breakfast was nice and the staff at the restaurant were efficient and helpful.

The location is PERFECT. My first time visiting Dublin and it was literally seamless because of this hotel, the location is supreme, the coffee shop downstairs is so comfortable and makes legitimately good coffee. The room was the perfect size for me and my sister. The bathroom is a great size and the beds were extremely comfortable. The washing machine in the room was also very convenient. Staff were really helpful and overall this was amazing service!
Everything in central Dublin is walking distance and you are extremely close to the tram/Luas too
I like the city of Dublin very much. This is my second visit to the city. I stay in the same hotel again. There is a beautiful park next to the hotel. After getting up in the morning, I have breakfast in the bright restaurant and then take a walk in the park.
Great price and fantastic location half way between the airport and Dublin CBD. Easy to catch bus line right outside the front of the hotel for easy access to the city. We had a great stay there
Very Good

Great
GGuest UserIt was okay overall — the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. However, the hotel is located near the railway station, and you can see the trains passing by from the window, which might make it a bit noisy. That said, the rooms are well soundproofed, so it didn’t bother me much. The breakfast was quite basic and overpriced, costing £17 per day.
TTeacherTravelTimesI decided to ditch staying in the city centre based on my below par experiences there on my last trip. When looking on Trip.com, Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel in Dalkey was the same price as several dorm rooms in the city centre when I looked.
Getting there from Dublin Airport was relatively straightforward. I took and Aircoach from the airport to Dalkey/Ulverton Road and then walked for about 15 minutes. Up to the hotel entrance.
The hotel is fairly old fashioned but personally I found it very charming. The staff were well-trained in the art of hospitality, the rooms were clean, locals were in and out of the bar, restaurant and leisure centre.
Furthermore, the room was spacious with tea and coffee making facilities. The tv had a nice range of channels and the bathroom had a working shower and an abundance of towels. One thing missing was a toothbrush, toothpaste and shaving kit. I was told that you can get slippers on request as well.
Get the breakfast. It’s €16 and it’s a buffet style with a delicious selection of hot and cold food. There’s rashers, sausages, hash browns, pancakes, the works. I wish I could’ve eaten more! I loved that they had a wide range of ages working there as well. One of the staff tripped when she went to ask if everything was ok and she said ‘I’m fine, I’m falling for you!’ It was then that I knew that I was home.
The leisure centre is one of the best I’ve come across in a while. I’ve stayed in so many places where it’s literally an empty room with a few bits of old equipment but they had loads of weights, treadmills, bikes, etc. They do classes and physiotherapy as well. The pool and jacuzzi were also excellent. Plenty of ages in both as well but it wasnt overcrowded so you’ll get a few lengths in if you want.
Lastly, make sure to go for a walk about Dalkey and the surrounding areas. I spent the morning walking down to the Vico Baths, the Forty Foot (both swimming locations) and passed through Dalkey Village. Plenty of people will be out with their family and friends whether it be for a walk, bike ride, swim or a coffee and a chat. Ditch Dublin City and say yes to Dalkey!
GGuest UserI think this will be a nice stay once their remodel is done, but wait until then.
When booked initially, the reservation was for the Hard Rock Hotel. About a week and a half before I arrived, NYX acquired the building. We received no notification about this from either business. The hotel was slightly outdated and undergoing the beginnings of redecoration. The staff seemed to either be hired by NYX and unfamiliar with the hotel or previous employees who were unfamiliar with the new management’s policies. For example, the manual chain lock on my door had been disabled in both of our rooms and the staff at the desk didn’t seem to understand how it had happened. They did move me to a room with a working manual lock immediately, but didn’t seem to understand why I felt the need for one as a single woman in the room and assured me that the staff would respect my privacy. The person in the other room in our booking also had his disabled but didn’t want to bother moving. The next day, housekeeping barged into his room without waiting for an answer to her knock. The person inside was just finishing dressing.
Other than that, it’s just little things that haven’t yet been worked out in the management change. For example their card scanners in the rooms and elevators seem to be new and still finicky, and the person at reception hadn’t read the laundry policy on the NYX laundry slips in the rooms. The slips specified it would be back by 6pm if picked up by 8am, but she said it might be the next day. She also had me bring the laundry down to the reception desk when the slip said it would be picked up. The staff was actually really great and when I pointed it out I did get same day laundry; it seemed like a new management miscommunication.
Overall, I’d recommend staying here after they’ve had a chance to settle and remodel. They were already starting to take down the Hard Rock decorations and I suspect they will also redo the older and brightly colored carpets and walls. Since we didn’t receive any notifications about the new management and redecorating, I’m not sure there will be one about that either.
GGuest UserThe Bonnington is usually my go to hotel in dublin, however the stay before this and now this stay has made me look for somewhere else in future. The staff as always were exceptional, however our room was incorrectly rang my reception at 5am, (and on a previous stay we were awoken in the middle of the night by a false fire alarm, so a full nights sleep is not a guarantee).
What was the most frustrating is the general disrepair of the hotel. The rooms are fairly small so for the higher price point you are really paying for the facilities. The smaller issues like furniture being old and leather chairs peeling and flaking were not a big problem, just a mild annoyance. However the bath/shower leaking everywhere when used from the base of the tub and leaving the floor soaking wet, the steam room being out of order and us not being informed of this when or even after booking, and the crowdedness and of the pool and other facilities because of non hotel users with memberships to the leisure clubs taking up the whole hot tub and sauna at once in personal groups was frustrating.
The room was also extremely hot, and the AC very very loud while not actually doing much to cool the room. There was nothing particularly stay ruining about it however if you’re paying over 200 euro for one night somewhere you would expect things to be at least average.
The main redemption was the friendliness and kindness of the staff.
JJunI recently stayed at the Hotel Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin and found its location on O'Connell Street to be exceptionally convenient for exploring Dublin's main attractions.
However, the breakfast experience was underwhelming. Additionally, the lobby area felt cramped during peak times, making it less inviting for relaxation.
While the hotel's central location is a significant advantage, improvements in breakfast offerings and lobby comfort would enhance the overall guest experience.

GGuest UserHotel is in a great location for arrivals from Connolly station as it’s literally across the road. Everything is within walking distance. The hotel was very clean and we had a very spacious room. The free continental breakfast was a nice touch also. We would stay again.
GGuest UserExcellent hotel!
Great location with Dublin Airport only approx 10 minute drive.
Safe, secure car park on site
Convenient shuttle bus service
Lovely, spacious bar/restaurant with great choice of food and drinks. Plus, 24hr coffee dock beside bar.
Friendly staff
This was my third stay in the hotel, most recently, April 2025 I stayed in a rooftop balcony suite. King-size bed, living area, balcony and loads more. Great comfy rooms
AAnonymous UserGreat one night experience, left wishing for more nights. Staff were amazing and easy to talk to. Definitely recommend it and it’s our new hotel of first choice going forward.
PPazhoujingjingziFacilities: The hotel definitely shows its age, which is understandable after so many years in operation, but it's incredibly well-maintained.
Cleanliness: Very clean.
Environment: Very clean.
Service: The female staff member who checked me in appeared to be of Indian descent, and I had a little difficulty understanding her accent.
I would definitely choose this hotel again. The city rail station is right next door, making it extremely convenient for getting around!
