The hotel was very clean and best equipped, the staff very accommodating. Especially the location of the hotel is for a wochenendstädtereise recommendable: free shuttle service from the airport to the hotel and if you to the center want there are several bus connections (2,40 Euro, you have to however suitable for everyone), the bus station is not 5 minutes on foot away. read more

A very nice hotel in vicinity of the airport a very attractive price. The airport shuttle was great, in only 10 minutes to and from to the hotel! And the bus station into town in about 300 meters distance with really many connections. Also the breakfast, which included in the room rate was, was really sufficient. read more

For good 60 euros - a unbeatable cheaper price - very clean and tidy hotel. On arrival to 5 minutes checked in and I only times in the quite large bed ( double room) dropped. The breakfast buffet is of high quality, however quite small. Whereas the bar is well equipped - but it costs extra. In the room you can, thanks to a water digester, at any time a tea, or a coffee make. To the town center of Dublin you need only good 10 minutes with bus or taxi, to the airport only fifth the airport shuttle bus ... with advance notification is free of charge. All together I can the hotel only recommend - especially at Strädtereisende and singles. read more

If you are arriving late in dublin at the airport or at a later date rental car accepts, the hotel is highly recommended. It is tight two kilometers away in north wildwood park. From the airport every 30 Minutes to the full and half hour from the coach park a pendulum bus to the holiday inn express and adjacent to the crown plaza. The red bus is not to miss. On the main street of hundred meters away from the hotel the bus line 16 a, 746, 33, 41, a 41, 41 to city center. Travel time 20 minutes. The ... fare at the moment now stands at eur 1.85 and counted at the Drivers shall be made. There is no baggage handlers. At the airport there is however the possibility, a day ticket 'Rambler ticket' for 6.20 euro to buy. At the front desk there is also German speaking staff. The spacious rooms are very quiet and are equipped with a functional design. Despite vicinity of the airport it was possible, with opened Window to sleep. The breakfast was the worst, we had never experienced that in ireland. But it is full. The only German-speaking TV channels, rtl. read more

From the airport or the free shuttle bus to the hotel. The rooms are very clean. There were different pillows ( hardness). The bathroom was very nice. Breakfast was good. You should not have oversized expect. But the basic TIER was good with sausage, scrambled eggs, cereals, jam, toast and a bit of sausage). Unfortunately, there were only croissants and toast. For Brötchenverwöhnte German took some getting used to. read more

    The rooms were big enough - the "double beds" in Ireland are generally between 1.40 and 1.60 meters wide, but we didn't mind that. We heard nothing from the aircraft noise. The bathroom only had a shower (no tub). With the door either the whole bathroom and just the toilet - interesting technique. In the room there German outlets, so no travel adapter necessary.

  • Gastronomy
    2.0

    As we have found our further locations in Ireland, is the Irish/English breakfast not as extensive as at home in Germany and needs a bit of getting used to. There were scrambled eggs, fried sausages, toast, pastries, yogurt, some fruit, cereal, and a lot of packed cheese chunks and jam. The dishes were partially dirty. But since we only stayed here one night, we were able to overlook that.

    The hotel is close to the airport. We chose this hotel as soon as possible the next day the rental car at the airport. Take a shuttle bus could reach the airport in 10 minutes - therefore seen the location was ideal for us. To the city center takes the whole a bit longer as the hotel very remote. In the surroundings there is hardly/no shopping etc The large park across the street is but really nice place for a walk.

We were looking for a cheap hotel Dublin Airport late at night, as we arrived at the airport. We were expected for the 55 euro with breakfast nothing gorgeous, but solid. And we were not disappointed. There was a free shuttle service to the hotel, the rooms were ok (but the noise even with the windows were still to be heard). The breakfast was ok and brought us the shuttle service within 7 minutes to the airport from where we stay in another 20 minutes by public bus in the city were. This meant we had the full day before ... us, were rested and breakfast that kept us full until the end of the afternoon. The hotel and of course also Dublin we will certainly go back. We had 2 wonderful days way with not a cloud in the sky at night. read more

We were actually it was totally satisfied with the hotel. The shuttle to the airport, totally uncomplicated and of course for Stadtfremde a great service. The hotel is located in a very far away from the city center but there is also an airport hotel. In the vicinity of the hotel but several bus lines ( DublinBus) right in city center, so that the distance could easily be bridged. The breakfast was a bit of a problem. I have to say that we are very picky about. There was cearal ( different kinds of), toast, rolls, Danish, packs of margarine ..., butter, cheese (different kinds of), juices, coffee, tea, fruit, yoghurt, scrambled eggs, sausage ( not comparable to German sausage), but unfortunately no form of cold meats. Also offers complimentary Internet access - wireless. In the lobby, but our room was this still available. What we found not so great was that the windows were just trying to get to the cigarette butts. They weren't open. This is a shame as we had a nice view of the park in front of the hotel. Conclusion: Absolutely recommendable & a good Preisleitsungsverhältnis (253€ for 5 nights). In Germany as I experienced worse for more money. read more

    If you can find it is a good location. 10 Minutes from the airport, but no noise. 45 minute bus ride to city - watch out on the way back on the bus number (16 faces Santry - 16A to the hotel and airport) Northwood Park is an "gated community" with many offices, flats and service facilities. Restaurants pretty scarce.

We used the hotel based on a very late arrival in Dublin airport. It took us around 00:15 nor the last shuttle. Important to know that the shuttle is both for the Express by Holiday Inn as well as for the Crown Plaza ( so you stop at the Airport faster! ). It's about 10 to 15 minutes to the hotel. We were very pleased with the hotel itself. Very friendly staff (both at the reception as well as a restaurant), very clean and a rich breakfast. The rooms are nicely equipped - not huge, but adequate. May have ... a problem if an extra bed need arise! The bathroom is quite small. Fun we found the door on the corner with you either the bathroom completely closed, or just a separate toilet. So we have never seen a solution. read more

the hotel lies between the airport and the city center. It operates a complimentary shuttle bus. A bus station is located about a hundred meters in front of the hotel. At the hotel there is a pond park, the location itself is very quiet. The staff are very friendly, the rooms in excellent condition, and the breakfast was very rich. To the city center you need the bus about 25 minutes for its three stars I was very nicely surprised. If I once again coming to Dublin should, then in any case again. read more
