    The staff were friendly and helpful, but our check in was delayed by a malfunction of the key card system. The key card issue continued after we received them. The rooms are nice but I've slept in more comfortable beds. I wasn't expecting to be charged €12 for parking. If I'd spotted it in the small print I would've cancelled the booking and stayed at the Herbert Park Hotel instead for pretty much the same price.

    We had a great few days in the Clayton Ballsbridge. The service was great, all the staff were so helpful if you needed anything. The breakfast on both mornings as excellent plenty of choice. We had one evening meal in the hotel and it was exquisite. My husband was taking place in the Dublin city marathon the hotel was in a perfect place for myself and my son to watch as all we had to do was go out to the front gates.

    We stayed here October 2017 for 5 nights. We found our family room conveniently located on the ground floor. The beds were comfortable with lots of pillows. The room was clean. The shower was hot and powerful. Great blackout curtains. Wifi was free and good signal. The television network could be improved. The reception staff were wonderful. The bar area is stunning. More toilet roll needed for a family of 4 as we ran out twice.

    We booked a week because my wife was to receive surgery in St Vincent's. She stayed before and after surgery hence the attentiveness and kindness of staff was much appreciated. Her condition meant that diet and cleanliness were important. We cannot say how much we valued the time spent at the hotel. We intend returning in 3-4 weeks time when she will be strong again to enjoy a short holiday. The location seems superb for that and we now we would enjoy it very much.
    My only criticism is the lack of twin beds. We had to book a room with two double beds and next time intend trying an Executive Room with a King bed – but this is a handicap for us. This explains the 4-stars given for comfort of bed, although the double beds were really perfectly comfortable.

    Firstly, the staff during all our interactions were efficient and friendly which is a major plus for any enterprise. However the quality of the accommodation was not up to what I consider four star standard. The booking was for two double beds, my room had a twin and double. Just two plugs located at the dressing table area so media devices had to be used in that one area. Had difficulty with the TV but got there eventually. No fridge, and no bottled water a very basic requirement. The bathroom had a minimum of three towels one of which was a hand towel. Shower in the bath, hard on anyone in their sixties or over. My son used the shower but no hot water. The location was good for our purposes. Overall I didn't consider it good value.

    First, how fun it it to stay in a historical building? I really liked how they repurposed what was once an orphanage from Dublin's past into a quality hotel. We chose to stay outside the Dublin core so that we could have a quiet place to retreat to after busy days sightseeing and were not disappointed. The hotel is right on the major bus lines, so it's just a quick bus ride into the center for sightseeing, pub-hopping, touring, and shopping. We chose to eat both nights at the the hotel - one night in the restaurant and one night in the pub. Food was excellent both nights. We were driving around Ireland and had a car - no problem, there's a car park right under the hotel with direct elevator access to room floors. Be sure to check at the desk to trade in the ticket you take from the entry machine for a special discounted exit ticket for guests. The only issue we had with the room was warmth. We were there in August, so it was not terribly cold outside which tended to heat the rooms up. There was a window but it opens only a bit (for security purposes, we assumed), so the room did tend to get a bit stuffy during the night. Without air conditioning, there was really little the hotel could do to remedy that, but we found that keeping the curtains and window open while we were out went a long way to cooling down the room. For Americans, I should note that feather-free pillows in Ireland are foam and are not soft. This is not the hotel's fault - we found this everywhere we stayed in Ireland. So, if you can't use down and like a soft pillow, you might want to think about bringing your own. Overall, the room was impressively clean, comfortable, and stocked with amenities. Hotel staff are very helpful and friendly. We would definitely stay at the Clayton Ballsbridge when we visit Dublin again.

    I was disappointed with my recent stay.
    The lobby was cluttered and no real sense of a queue.
    Check in at reception was fine and the girl was nice.
    The room was okay in cleanness terms. We had three booked in the room and 1 towel and 1 extra in the room?
    We were woken by loud people who had visited the horse show at 4.07am (myself and my two kids, it went on for an hour). We eventually got back to bed at5.15am.
    Walls are like paper.
    What disappointed us the most was the restaurant for dinner and breakfast.
    We were waiting on both occasions, big delays in getting a seat and when we did service was poor and slow (we left to go to a pub across the road).
    Breakfast selection was poor and cluttered.

    Possibly the nicest stay I had so far in Dublin. Just a beautiful historical building. Such wonderful helpful friendly staff. My room rate was fantastic.

    Such a great nights sleep.The hotel is one of my favourites in Dublin. Looking forward to staying again next week.

    Didn't get a chance to try the restaurant as it stop serving food at 10pm which is understandable.

    Just love this hotel

    From Check-in to check-out, my wife and I enjoyed the beautiful Clayton Hotel Ballsbridge. The front desk staff is so welcoming and helpful, and we were so pleased to be able to check-in early upon our arrival following our flight from Chicago. The restaurant staff are pleasant and the food was delicious. We found the location to be convenient for our sightseeing around Dublin with the Hop-on, Hop off bus stop right at the hotel. We highly recommend your classic hotel to travelers who want a relaxing and delightful hotel experience!

    The building and rooms are beautiful. The staff was so kind and extremely helpful. It made our stay in Dublin most pleasant. It's a place we will always want to return to. Although it is a distance from the city center, there are many 4 modes of transportation that you can take from the hotel to get to the center quickly. Again, I must stress how helpful the staff was with our every request!

    We attended a family wedding on sun the 26thof March, and we all had the most amazing time. The venue was just beautiful, and the all the staff we met throughout our stay were extremely friendly, helpful and polite. The service was top notch, nothing was a problem, and the food was delicious . All your staff are a credit to your hotel, and should be highly praised. Sometimes a venue can be just amazing but let down poorly by the attitude of the people who work there, this was definitly not the case here! Your fantastic staff made our stay even more enjoyable . The personal touch & friendly nature of everyone from those who worked in reception, waiting and bar staff to housekeeping was second to none, keep up the good work, it makes all the difference to a guests experience .

    Lovely hotel. Big rooms, good bed. Customer service was good & so was the food in the restaurant. Only issue is there could be better showers. A short cab ride to the city center and a bus from the airport goes directly to the hotel in 40 minutes.

    I like the hotel and the rooms are clean, comfortable and this time quite big. However the shower had no shelf for shampoo or soap, do other people soap up and then get in the Shower! The room was big but had only one chair, and the telly has an annoying strong blue light when in standby. I don't like not having a gym on site either. But it is probably the best hotel in Dublin for breakfasts.

    Would definitely recommend staying here. All of the staff we met were so friendly and couldn't have been more attentive. Couldn't fault anything about our stay. Fantastic food, spotlessly clean room, great value and excellent service. Thank you!

    At a wedding we attended recently everything was lovely. In general the food was good but the main course was cold. I asked the server if I could get the food heated up and she took the plate away. The girl returned with the plate piping hot but the food was still only luke warm. I was not the only guest who had this problem. It's something that needs to be looked at for the future. The staff from reception to the restaurant and everywhere else were excellent and very helpful. Lilian our server was particularly helpful and pleasant
