Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport Central

What guests think

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport Central is praised for its walkable airport location and frequent shuttle, making early flights easy, though several guests found the shuttle pickup hard to locate and the walk tricky due to busy roads.

Staff are often described as friendly and helpful, with occasional upgrades, but multiple reviews report slow or unfriendly check‑in and uneven responsiveness. Rooms range from modern, quiet and comfortable to dated with maintenance issues such as weak water pressure, temperature swings, faulty fixtures, and limited bedside outlets; noise and drafts are reported in some rooms. Breakfast is frequently liked for selection, yet restaurant and bar experiences vary, with limited menus, inconsistent quality, and high prices noted. Expect a convenient airport stopover with variable service and room quality.

They have no on site fitness center. It’s a shuttle or decent walk outside to get there and a wait for a shuttle to return. This is a major issue if the weather is not good. No such thing as getting a quick workout if you stay here.

The information about the shuttle is wrong. We waited over 30 minutes in the cold, and no sign. We took a taxi. When we got there they said we had to ring which I had actually wanted to do but there was no way of finding their phone number. A bad start. Though they did then upgrade us,

There is a free airport shuttle running every 20 mins. I was staying at the hotel due to a flight cancellation and missing luggage. There is no shop to buy toiletries, although they were able to give me a toothbrush and paste. The restaurant is nice, pizzas are good. Room is comfortable and not too noisy being so close to the airport.

Travelling as a family of 5. The room was perfect for what we needed. The staff in all areas were very friendly and helpful. My only comments are that the website was a misleading as it advertised a pool. This is why we booked here for the kids. However, the pool is not in the hotel. It was in a different building you had to walk to. It closed early and we weren't able to use it. On a minor issue, it would have been nice if there were hoooks in the bathroom to hang your towel. Overall we loved our stay and will choose here next time we fly from Dublin.

My only quibble is that the hotel is advertised as walkable from the airport. That’s technically true but it’s very difficult to find the safe way to cross the 4 lane road to get to it. There is a shuttle, which I used to get to the airport in the morning.

Recently changed from the Radisson Blu to the Clayton the hotel was a typical airport hotel. Comfortable and clean rooms served a purpose but the bar was stark, cold and uninviting as was the restaurant. When we stayed here last time ( as the Radisson Blu) breakfast was the highlight of our stay but this time it was dreadful- bland, table order took ages to get and was wrong when delivered. Not work paying extra for. The location is best thing about hotel being very near the airport with a free shuttle bus. Parking is extra at €10 a day.

- Shuttle Bus was very small and could only take 5 or 6 people (which sounds like an okay amount until you are checking out with everyone else for an international flight) - You can walk, just like you can walk anywhere. It’s 600m as the crow flies but longer if you use the sidewalks - Bathroom was clean but old showing discoloured caulking. Toilet took 2 or 3 flushes to flush. Area around shower prone to getting wet. - USB A ports everywhere, no USB C. No 3 prong power outlets by bed. Please make sure to bring a power adapter if not from Ireland.

I have stayed here before, many times, but it seems to have slipped down a bit. My room was oddly furnished with a table without a chair, a wall unit with outlets far from a table or a desk ... just weird. But the worst was the morning when there was no hot water in the shower, just a stream of tepid with the occasional burst of cold. I don't think I will come back again.

The hotel shuttle pickup point is difficult to locate and not sign posted from terminal 2. In fact you need to ignore the ‘hotel shuttle buses’ sign as this seems to be the pickup for all hotels except radisson and Maldron. Once I found the pick up spot I waited a half hour for the bus all the while trying to contact reception, the phone just rang and rang or was giving engaged tone. When someone finally answered and I asked about the whereabouts of the bus they actually said “oh he’s on his break right now”. Bear in mind it’s pouring rain and I’m waiting a half hour at this stage. Annoyed at the seeming indifference I firmly told the receptionist to send the driver immediately. He showed up a short time later. Such poor service not only to deliberately delay guests but then to offer such a poor excuse! At the hotel, things didn’t get much better. From my room I tried repeatedly to contact reception to have some toothpaste sent to my room. Approx 15 attempts and almost an hour later I finally got through to a rather gruff employee who told me he’d send it up. Overall the hotel is poorly operated and under staffed, stay here only if you an absolutely must and have no other option.

We arrived late in the evening, and the chap on reception was not friendly and appeared to know nothing about our booking. Asked us to move away until he found a manager. When the manager on duty finally arrived, he suggested that we had not paid. I assured him that we had booked and paid, and could provide proof. Then he decided it was ok. Took forever, and we were tired. Finally we got to our room and were preparing for bed, we discovered the toilet was broken. This took another 40 mins to sort. Eventually, relocated to another room. Pillows were really hard. Bathroom very small and minimal surface space for toiletries. Toilet, had a very unstable seat. Needed to have hinges tightened. Breakfast the next morning was good, and the food and beverage manager in the dining room, seemed to be the most enthusiastic person working at this hotel, friendly and making sure that people were looked after. Overall, was underwhelmed, except for breakfast. Staff at this hotel would benefit from a boost of customer service training .

It’s expensive staying here, but it always is when you can walk to the airport from the front door. Nothing flash about the room, but it was clean and spacious. The breakfast was very good. The shuttle to the airport is most appreciated to avoid lugging bags. Extremely good window glazing that kept out a lot of potential noise on a busy road right next to a busy airport. We slept well so I’d definitely stay here again for the convenience factor.
