Top hotels in Islandbridge
Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport
Stayed here for the third time, and again the cleaning service left dirty dishes and did not fill the tea, coffee, biscuits that were used. It's a shame to experience the same mistakes from the cleaning crews. Other than that everything else was very good.

Clayton Hotel Burlington Road
The staff was wonderful and very welcoming and I was checked in way earlier than my 3pm check in time slot. The hotel is located in a very nice neighborhood and close enough to the city center and the Dublin must see sites!! Highly recommended!!!
