Clayton Hotel Burlington Road
The rooms were pretty small. Breakfast was overpriced and average. The tv’s in the room didn’t have a lot of options - we had to go to the bar to watch most of the football games.

The Mercantile Hotel
Great location for getting around Dublin. Close to pubs, theater and music. Lots of good restaurant options and a spar store for extras you might want in your room.
