Royal Dublin Hotel - Dublin , Ireland 

Spent 3 nights at this hotel in mid June. We picked this hotel because the airlink from the airport stops right outside the hotel and if you're early for check-in they allow you to leave your bags behind reception. This applies to checking out also if you have a later flight which allows you more time to sightsee without carting bags around. The rooms are fairly basic but clean with a maid service daily. We found breakfast to be expensive but there are lots of places open for breakfast that are much cheaper around the hotel. The hop on, hop off bus starts outside the hotel so it's difficult to get lost. The elevators were out of service while we were there and there appeared to be maintainence going on around the hotel but at no point was there any noise. If you're looking for a good value hotel that is in a good location for exploring Dublin then this hotel is ideal. It's away from temple bar meaning it's quieter but close to bars and clubs if that's what you're looking for.
