Hilton Dublin Airport - Dublin , Ireland     

I chose this hotel based on its proximity to the Dublin airport and the free shuttle. While it was an okay hotel, I would not stay again. The staff was a bit rude when we initially walked up. We checked into a queen family room and scheduled a time to take the shuttle to the airport the next morning. I later found out my flight had been move up and they changed my shuttle reservation without a problem. The room was a bit cheap looking. Too much furniture was shoved into the room which made the feel uncomfortable. The bed was a platform bed that creaked every time I sat on it - and I am not very big. The bed was comfortable and the bedding was nice. The lighting was odd and the tv remote did not initially work due to the batteries corroding in the remote. This is usually caused from not being used for a while. Makes me wonder when the last time someone stayed in the room. There were two loveseats that pulled out into twin beds and an odd corner chair that looked like it had been part of a sectional. There was also a huge desk, dresser and armoire. The bathroom was cramped and the shower was strange at best. The water would be warm, cold, scalding, warm, cold, scalding every ten seconds or so. The towels were very rough. The location was okay and the shuttle drivers were very nice. We were out in the middle of no where with a small mall across the street. The restaurant was outrageously pricey - we didn't eat there. The bar food was horrible and pricey also. I would suggest paying cash and eating at KFC in the mall. Other than that - it is the only food to be found. I would definitely not stay at this hotel again.

This hotel is convenient to the Dublin airport, and the hotel provides a free shuttle service - use the free phone in the baggage claim area at the airport, and they will send the shuttle for you. For your return trip to the airport, be sure to get your name on the shuttle list the night before. You can catch a bus into Dublin in front of the Tesco supermarket across the street (the store is open 24/7). Hotel was clean and up to the Hilton standard of service. Staff was friendly and helpful and allowed us an early check-in. Beds were comfortable; the rooms were spacious and everything was very clean. Breakfast was a very nice buffet. We did not eat any other meals at this hotel. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who needs to be close to the airport.
