Clayton Hotel Burlington Road
Very basic standard, felt like a Premier Inn. No extra pillows, no shower caps & had to call maintenance to fix the TV

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin
Hotel felt very modern and spacious. One of the best standard rooms we’ve visited. Close enough to the main areas but not too close that you were surrounded by bars. Location could feel a little out of the way if you were travelling on your own and there was a bit of building work going on next door ...
