There is NO air condition in the room. It’s so so hot in the room. It’s not a good idea to stay in this hotel. I am disappointed.. very disappointed. It didn’t show that it’s a 4-5 star hotel. You will be sweating while sleeping.
A horrible stay.
I won’t recommend this Carlton hotel to any one.

This hotel could’ve been easily 4 or 5 out of 5 based on the general property, airport shuttle, restaurants. We had a poor experience during our one night stay for 2 reasons. First, the hotel room was 25c and despite multiple attempts by the employees to “reset” the thermostat it did not work. Secondly, there was a large group of other guests outside on hotel grounds having a party until after 1030pm. We stayed in this hotel because we had an early flight out of Dublin airport so it was frustrating to be kept awake by this group. I typically am not one to complain but the employees at the front desk were not helpful in assisting with either of these problems.

It's a room for a night to facilitate airport travel, and nothing more. My room was dirty. The shower needs a new curtain that doesn't allow water to just seep through.

I booked a shuttle to the airport, and it never came, so I quickly booked the next one. This made me late getting to the airport, and I had to sprint to make my flight, which I just barely made.

There is an airport shuttle, but the guy driving the shuttle for whatever reason was convinced I wasn’t booked at the hotel. I didn’t see him give the same issue to a pair of male travelers like he did my female friend and I.

The room was absolutely miserably hot. There is no AC, which is fine but the window barely opens and there was only one to open instead of multiple. The light from outside that illuminates their sign shined directly in my room, which made it even harder to sleep. The beds were comfy, at least. There is no espresso or coffee maker inside the room, just a kettle and instant coffee which seems very cheap for such a “nice” hotel.

The shower head was an absolute nightmare. It sprayed everywhere. The water pressure was good, but the temperature was extremely variable even when not adjusting it. It would get very hot then very cold for no reason. Overall, I’d skip the stay and price if I had to do it again and go somewhere else.

The hotel is definitely clean and convenient. They did have a shuttle that we could take to the airport but it gets booked early so make sure you get it reserved.
The rooms do NOT have air conditioning. Hallways do, rooms dont. It was awful! It was so hot- NONE of us slept. There was a window that they usually would allow opened but screwed shut due to a safety issue. I think they believed drunk people might jump onto the roof below because it already had a child safely lock so thinking it wasn't kid safety. Seriously, then add a new window that won't let people do that or put in air conditioning! They gave us fans as a \"solution\" but they just moved around hot air. Unbelievable.

We've stayed here before and like it. There is a shuttle to and from the airport, which is useful (but please make a reservation). We really like the Runway 28 bar/restaurant on the 3rd floor, overlooking the airport. But, if it's not open the restaurants on the ground floor is also good. The only problem this time was that it was very hot (not the hotel's fault) but there is no a/c in the room, just a small fan, so it was almost impossible to sleep. Also, the kettle in our room was not working, so we couldn't make early morning tea/coffee before getting an early morning shuttle.

The airport location was very convenient and the hotel restaurant, Runway 28, was good.

Little to no complaints other than mild ones - no air conditioning but nice fan provided (and its IE so heating seems to be the only requirement, which they had), no plugs/outlets in bathroom (may be a safty issue) but thats all.

Overall great stay.

The hotel was quite nice and kept clean, with very comfortable beds. However, the main issue was that the air conditioning didn't work properly, and the heating option was also nonfunctional. When I checked in late at night, the room was freezing cold at just 13°C, and the heating still didn't work. I requested a portable heater, but it was too small and took ages to warm the room. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing; after staying less than 10 hours in the room I didn't feel comfortable, and the prices are quite high. Additionally, the shuttle drivers were very rude to guests and need to learn more respect and politeness.

Finding the shuttle from the airport was difficult. The shuttle was small and the signs indicating it was the shuttle for the Carlton were not legible from any distance. I ended up waiting over an hour for the shuttle because it didn’t see the first one until it was leaving even though I was positioned in what I thought was a good location to see all the shuttles.
The restaurant staff were somewhat difficult to attract to order drinks and food and to get a bill.
However, the food was very good and the room was very nice and clean. Prices were high but that seemed to be par four the course in the Dublin area.
