We have stayed previously at the Clayton Hotel. Prior to this stay, we had a great experience in this hotel! Unfortunately, this time around, there was no air conditioning in the two rooms that we had. Also, the windows only opens slightly and therefore, no breeze either. In this recent heatwave in Ireland, it was sweltering in our room. None of us got a good night’s sleep.
When we brought up the lack of air conditioning to the staff at checkout, they said there was nothing they could offer us as far as money back/ discount, because we had booked through Expedia. They did offer us free coffees and baked goods from the cafe.

We had a great stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our stay.

Although the rooms didn’t have air conditioning, everything else made for a very pleasant experience. The airport transfer service was excellent—punctual, convenient, and took all the stress out of getting to and from the airport.

A special mention goes to the Italian restaurant at the hotel. Don’t miss it! The food was absolutely amazing, with great service and a lovely atmosphere. It was one of the highlights of our stay.

Overall, we’d happily stay here again and would definitely recommend it to anyone needing a convenient airport hotel.

We booked the Clayton Dublin Airport as a last minute stay after arriving home on a late flight, hoping for a comfortable night’s sleep before travelling on. Unfortunately, sleep was the one thing we didn’t get.

The contrast between the hotel and the bedrooms was surprising. The reception and communal areas were cool and comfortable, yet our bedroom felt like the heating was on full. With no air conditioning, the only option was to open the window.

That created another problem. Our first floor room overlooked what appeared to be six large air conditioning units running constantly. Ironically, they weren’t cooling our room, but they sounded like a freight train all night. The small fan provided simply moved hot air around the room, so the choice was between unbearable heat or constant noise.

What disappointed us most was the response. We phoned reception four times and each time were told someone would call us back with a solution. Nobody ever did.

To be fair, one receptionist was genuinely helpful. She apologised sincerely and kindly offered us complimentary breakfast, which was excellent and the highlight of our stay.

The hotel has many positives, but the combination of overheated rooms, no air conditioning, significant external noise and poor follow up meant what should have been a restful airport stay became a frustrating experience.

Beautiful room, easy transfer to/from the airport, very comfortable bed, and the server in the lounge area was extremely helpful, patient and kind. Check-in process was a breeze.

However, be aware many rooms don't have AC (that's on me for assuming). Thank goodness there was a fan. The room (and reservation) for 3 people...but packed 3 coffee cups and we had to search for the 3rd towel.
The worst pay, that ruined our evening, were the rules that only those getting \"food\" could get a seat in all their restaurants....and dessert did not count as \"food\"!! At 8:30pm! And the man telling us this at the Italian restaurant was kinda of rude. Even going to the lobby area for dessert from \"the bar\"... The server was so helpful in finding us an extra chair, but hesitated when we wanted to share a dessert, and when only one of us ordered a drink! I guess we were the cheapskates not welcome in the dining area.

The hotel was nice and the beds were comfortable. We paid extra when we booked the room for the breakfast and it was very good with many options. When we took the Clayton shuttle from the airport to the hotel we ended up at the wrong Clayton hotel. One shuttle says Clayton Hotel Airport and the other says Clayton Hotel Airport Central. We were not the only ones on the shuttle that went to the wrong Clayton Hotel. We were told this is a common occurrence. We had to go back to the airport and find the correct Clayton Airport Shuttle.

My first room didn’t have air-conditioning so I was given a key to a second room, but I couldn’t get the door opened. Staff also had trouble, went away and came back and were able to open the door only to find a man sleeping in that room. They found me a third room and 90 minutes after arrival I was settled. The next morning, while sitting in my room two staff members opened the door and walked in. Clearly, they were surprised to see me. They backed out without even apologizing.

It was very nice to have such a lovely hotel so close to the airport.

THIS HOTEL DOESNT HAVE A/C in their rooms! They should be obligated to let to their guests know that this hotel doesn’t have A/C in their rooms before booking. We fiddled with the air con for over an hour before we went to the front desk asking how fix it, to which they said they can’t fix the A/C in the room. I asked if we could switch rooms because our room was cooking in the 26 degree heat all day and was sweltering, and the receptionist then told me they were waiting for a “part” to fix it so no matter what room I went to I wouldn’t have A/C. Come to find out from online reviews the ALL of the hotel rooms just doesn’t have A/C which is insane. Lots of people complaining in the lobby considering the hallways and lobby were 5-7 degrees cooler and the rooms were absolutely insufferable. Had to get a small fan to blow directly on us all night and still woke up drenched in sweat. Nice relaxing stay before going to the airport in the morning!

NO AIR CONDITIONING!!!!! Several flights cancelled so hotel filled up quickly. My flight cancelled as well, but made my own arrangements through you. I was in a hurry as price changed in the 5 minutes it took to book! When I arrived at hotel, I asked the girl at the desk about air conditioning and she said they were full and this is what she could offer. EXTREMELY disappointed. It was hot in Dublin especially at the airport. She gave me a smart alec answer...I should tell Clayton to air condition all their rooms if that was what my preference was. Also, since airlines were booking rooms, I'm sure they had a discount and got air condition rooms and I paid out of pocket. Disappointing service from front desk.

For such a large hotel and hotel chain having a breakdown of the air during a time where the heat was at a high temperature is unacceptable. The payment for the room didn’t change however, guess we left feeling uncomfortable with the high levels of heat, the broken down system and no adequate solution.

Be careful of these hotels that continue to charge you even when their services and their systems are not functioning incorrectly hotel should’ve done more to accommodate guests with a broken air system.
