Worst hotel I have stayed on, should be a 1 star hotel. Absolutely terrible in every way possible. I have never had a bad experience like this in my life and I travel a lot. The staff was unbelievably rude. I had to complain every day where nothing was fixed that was wrong. I couldn't do my work where wifi didn't work, I had to shower on my Coworkers hotel where the shower barely worked. Smelly hallways with so much trash all day on them. The maid walked in on me when I was about to change clothes. She came into the room without knocking at 2ish pm. No fridge in the room, was brought a broken one and even my sandwich from the fridge was taken when I reported the broken fridge! I'm absolutely never going back to this terribly awful hotel. This is the first bad review I write in my life, I was so disgusted. I want a refund! They gently told me; to F off. Absolute outrage

Our room was mostly clean, except the shower floor and curtain. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The issue with the hotel is that it is over 2km from the city Center and tourist area. There isn’t a lot of tourist facilities around it so a fair walk, or short taxi ride to where most things are.

Lovely hotel for a city break away, amazing sandwich shop carved just around the corner. Easy walk from airport bus. Just had an issue with stiff windows which made them hard to close. We was located near the lifts so a lot of footfall noise.

This is a 3 star hotel pretending to be a 4 star hotel. Our family room didn't have the sofa bed as advertised or a fridge. Every piece of machinery in the gym was in desperate need of repair and as always with this hotel it was over booked and over priced. There were a lot of events on in Dublin that weekend so unfortunately it was the only hotel available when we booked. On the plus side the room was relatively quiet and the beds comfortable. There are a number of other hotels within 1km of the Clayton Cardiff Lane that are much better value. Stay there if you're stuck but look for alternatives if you can.
