Staff were very helpful and friendly The hotel is centrally located There is plenty of comfortable seating in the bar area. The room was quite spacious

The shower was difficult to work and not very powerful

I liked the location in relation to the event we were going to at the RDS nearby (Megacon Jan 2025). Made it very easy to come and go as we wished. Similarly, with the bus lines only across the road, making getting to other parts of Dublin quick and handy. The rooms we were staying in were clean and had what we needed for the weekend stay. The front desk was accommodating in getting our rooms connected, which I appreciated. Also, on our day to check out, they were gracious in allowing us to both, keep our luggage with the hotel after we had finished our stay and, eat in the bar/ restaurant downstairs for lunch. Overall, it was a great place to stay at for the event we were attending just around the corner at the RDS. I would recommend it to anyone in a similar situation in the future.

Not many things, if anything, to outright complain or criticise. I did originally have our group booked elsewhere in Dublin before switching to here, as it better suited our needs. As such, I had booked only about 2-3 weeks prior to our stay, so I wasn't surprised or upset about the pricing, (It came to about 140pp for our group of 5). Only complaint, if any, I could think of, even then, I had already expected as such beforehand.

Breakfast was advertised to start at 6.30, but when I came down just after 6.30, it was not yet open, and another waiting guest told me that she had been advised it would open at 7 am. I came back at 7.05 and there were hordes of people. Lines for coffee, no scrambled egg left. As I was then in a hurry to catch a train, I had to settle for a pastry and coffee. 😕 I gather a tour group was told to breakfast at a certain time - judging by their progress with the cooked breakfasts, I would say it was prior to 7 am. I am travelling alone, and felt pretty miffed at missing my paid for cooked breakfast.

The size of the room was great and the comfort was brilliant. We arrived early and were greeted by friendly staff at reception informing us we could leave our luggage with them and check in later which was extremely helpful.

The shower was a little fiddly and we found that even when we found a food temperature there were moments of cold coming through. The rooms also weren't sound proof, there was a couple having a loud conversation/argument in the room next to us and it felt like we were in the room with them. Despite all this we would definitely stay again as the room is definitely value for money.

Check In self service was good,.as long que for reception so meant we by past this. Easy to use and was the same with check out, just pop your key card in a box after checking out online. Staff friendly, and helpful. Location was good. Food lovely. All round lovely hotel and will definitely be back.

Even though check out was good online and able to drop key card in box, when checking out online you one had 10 mins before key card deactivated, would be nice to have a little longer in case need to go out and back into room, not a big issue thiugh but would be nice to have that option I suppose. Pillows were a little harder for my daughter, she didn't like them but I suppose this is personal preference.

The beautiful grand hotel, the location and the décor. The entrance and grounds are stunning. Also the beds were exceptionally comfortable and the bed linen was of a high quality.

The view from the room was a wall. Would have preferred a better view. Would have liked to have had the tea tray and cups replenished and the bin emptied. There were three guests and only two mugs. Neither of these observations detracted from the comfort and enjoyment of our stay, but if these were addressed, it would be something that would uplift the whole experience.

I truly enjoyed my stay at the Clayton Hotel. The hotel is in a grand/beautiful building. I had limited interacation with the staff, but those I did interact with were very pleasant and helpful. My room was very clean and the bed really comfortable. The breakfast had a nice variety of items and evertything was tasty. The location was far enough from the city center to remove one from the hustle and bustle, but close enough for one to walk to the city center if one likes. I would not hesitate to stay at the Clayton Hotel on my next visit to Dublin.

Nothing, everything was excellent

Our room was very small room 611. Need extra bath towels assigned to rooms with 1 overnight stay.

Pros and Cons together... Clean and ideally close to the RDS too..heat in the room was unbearable... should be checked before guests check in. What a waste of energy, especially when hotels try to save money to stay competitive. Thermostatic valves on heating would save money. Hotel maintenance take note !!!!! Good breakfast selection but hot food on cold plates? Really ? In 2024, cold plates for hot food are well below par. Overall, the hotel was clran and stylish, but lacked a bit in customer service... Attention to detail is really important !! When you pay more, you expect more.

Rooms are spacious and comfortable. There is a bus stop right in front of the hotel. The bathroom is very nice, clean and spacious. The bed is big and very comfortable.

Housekeeping has lots of room for improvement. I had to ask for tea, milk, water and toilet paper after the rooms had been serviced. A small fridge in the rooms would have been great. My biggest disappointment was The Grandstand Restaurant. The restaurant is overpriced and the sirloin steak sandwich was bland and overcooked. I order a glass of wine. Had to send it back as it was off. They did replace it for me though. For dessert I ordered the lemon drizzle sponge dessert. A lemon tart was served. It was very nice, but not what I ordered from the menu. The ones who had the pork belly absolutely RAVED about it and said it was one of the best they ever had. Wish I ordered that instead. 😉
