Room service is expensive but after/before a long flight it's worth it to lie in bed and have food brought to your room. And the good was really tasty. The room was nice but i have 2 concerns: 1. The room was incredibly hot! Like, so hot we were sweating and even though we got staff to turn off the radiator and opened the window it stayed uncomfortable the whole night. 2. The toilet Mounted to the wall made so many cracking noises every time you sat down I feared it would break free. The tiles around where it was attached were broken and filled in with a variety of caulk so obviously an ongoing issue. Overall it was worth being closer to the airport with an outbound 5am flight. read more

Was here for my last night in Ireland and 10/10 service. Would most definitely come back here. It's really close to the airport and the shuttle service was extremely helpful. If you have a super early flight definitely recommend staying here read more

The Carlton Hotel - Elevator - Hotels Near Me - Cloghran, D

I was recommended this hotel by my colleagues here in Dublin to proximity of the airport and surrounding areas for food and tourism if I found the time. Service from Karelis made checking in super easy they have adapters for sale to charge your phones and laptops. Very clean and quiet hotel Except during the day you are quite close to the airport so you hear the planes taking off every 20 mins. The restaurant inside called the Kittyhawk was actually really good and price was relatively the same as the California prices. Bacon double cheeseburger with chips (fries) and an old fashioned was EUR 33. Burger was massive and cooked great. read more

We had missed our connecting flight from Dublin Ireland to Rome Italy and the airline put us at this hotel. The hotel was about 5 minutes of shuttle ride away. There was a shuttle from the hotel that provided transportation to and from the airport. The hotel itself was clean and the in-house restaurant was decent. read more

The Carlton Hotel - The sitting area in the lobby - Hotels Near Me - Cloghran, D

Most reviews are posted by folks who are already a little upset because its as a result of a flight cancelation so already a little grumpy. Me. I was happy to have a paid hotel so I could go explore the city for a little while :-) with my wife and MIL. We needed two rooms, one was available before noon. The other we kept being told was not ready, so we dumped stuff in the available room and went out. Lunch and dinner menus on the Aer Lingus comped deals are pretty weak, particularly the dinner menu.. fish and chips, a burger or something I can't even remember, but that isn't the hotel's fault. (Oh, and you can enjoy water only.. no tea. coke, or heaven forbid, a Guinness.) Rooms were nice, restaurant facilities nice.. no real issue..but the shuttle was a bit of a stress, but we worked it out. I would say that the staff were very helpful and the place was more than fine, all working within whatever restrictions Aer Lingus put on them, so yell at EI not the hotel! read more

Nice amenities, professional staff. Brown Stain on bed sheet that was quickly remedied when I called front desk. Worst part is when planes land, windows rattle. Annoying for light sleepers who are trying to get some shut eye. Large rooms but the shower tub can't fit an American wide body. Even maneuvering in the shower can be a bit daunting. read more

Absolutely miserable experience. We were bumped from our flight, and called ahead to make sure that we would have a place to stay - and were assured that there were rooms. Rooms plural was an overstatement. On arrival, all four of us were shoved into a single room where they'd rolled a cot in to make up the fourth bed, we assume so they could soak the airline for two rooms while only giving us one. The radiator was stuck on, but we didn't discover that until 10pm because the rooms don't have a/c, so we thought it was just naturally warm. There were no fans in the room. When the human noise from the balcony outside next door finally abated enough for my older son to try to go to bed, he discovered that his bed was shoved up against the hot radiator by nearly scalding himself. I walked down to the front desk, where the hotel staff said we should just open the windows, as they weren't sure how quickly they could get maintenance on-site. Of course, the windows were actually the patio door, faced the airport where planes were taking on and off, and which were directly above a patio where people had been smoking and talking very loudly all evening. The windows also didn't have screens, presumably explaining why there were flies in our room when we walked in. Our comped food taking over an hour to arrive after we'd order seems small potatoes at this point, but the respiratory virus we picked up after the stay - probably because we'd had so many people in and out of our room - took over a week to get rid of. I'm only grateful it wasn't COVID. Never again. If we ever have the misfortune to be bumped again, we will be demanding to stay at a different airport hotel. read more

I ordered the bacon double cheeseburger with fries, thinking a hotel restaurant couldn't mess it up. I was wrong. No bacon, no double, no cheese. It was dried out and gross. It had a burned taste. They waitress never looked at me or came to my table after she brought it. She knew what trash the kitchen tried to pass off as food. I don't expect much from a hotel airport restaurant, but come on. They should have some sort of self-respecting standards. read more

Worse customer service experience ever I booked the wrong day which is (my fault) but the hotel staff said to cancel online and since I cancelled online. Then the hotel staff said they were fully booked without even searching or even given another hotel recommendation read more

Lacks the basic amenities you would expect in the rooom like aircon and a small fridge.The power points TV and lamps were not working on one side of the room,when we tried to call reception,it rang out 4 times. I tried their app, and no one answered. After an hour i just went to reception.There was no room service even though their website and app say there is, so when I went down to their restaurant, they said they don't do takeaway, recommending the Cafe in the lobby which served pastries. Luckily, there was a Circle K convenience store across the road. Try the Travel Lodge across the road of you're staying near Dublin Airport. read more

Last night in Dublin, we dropped the rental car off at the airport and took the shuttle from the airport to the hotel. We were lucky enough to catch the hotel shuttle just before it departed. The driver jumped out, asked if I would like the bag 'in the back' and he took it to the luggage area while I hopped inside the van which is three seats across, with an aisle separating two seats on right, one on left (from a seated position). It is a short drive to the hotel. The driver was very friendly. The lobby is filled with plush, leather arm chairs so it was easy enough to wait our turn to check in either standing on line or sitting. A few more guests arrived needing front desk assistance, and a third staff member appeared to help with the gathering crowd. There is a coffee service by the front desk, and a table at the far end with flavored waters and a bowl of fresh fruit. The young woman who assisted us was very nice and did her job well. Our reservation was made through their website and we included the options to order a bottle of wine for the room and a three course dinner in the KittyHawk restaurant on site. During the booking process dinner reservations were required and I requested 6:00pm dinner and a 4:30am shuttle back to the airport. Neither had been scheduled. The young lady who was assisting us wrote our requests on paper schedules attached to a clipboard behind the reception desk. Our room was a good size, with one single and one double bed, two comfortable chairs, one desk chair and good size bathroom with double sinks and a shower. There is a long bar area along one side of the room where the bottle of wine we pre-ordered (a red) was waiting along with two wine glasses. It was a screw top Cabernet-Syrah mix. Light and fruity; an unassuming table wine. Under this bar area, inside a cabinet door, was a tray including an electric kettle, three large mugs, instant coffee, teas and creamer. It is quite a heavy tray, so use care when pulling it out. We placed it on top of the bar in preparation of our early morning departure. The bed pillows are fiberfill and support your neck well, which I enjoyed after a week of feather pillows that go flat. The shower is large, and had both a hand held option (turn water to the left) or rain shower head (turn water to right) option. I personally am not a fan of these rain shower heads. When washing your hair you have to stand away from the water, which falls directly down, and that can be cold. A small shelf or bench would be nice in there. A small thing, but there is plenty of space for it. All in all, we were satisfied with the meal, and it was easy to walk down to dinner and back to our room for an early night. Do not pre-order dinner, as the menu price is less than the pre-order price. In the morning we missed the shuttle, even though we were down in the lobby on time. As we were leaving the room, the telephone rang so we went back to answer it, and no one was there. By the time we got to the lobby, the shuttle had gone and we were told by reception 'the driver had to go'. Not sure why he had to leave early, but we had a flight to catch and were not happy that we reserved the shuttle the night before and they let it leave without us. Perhaps that was the telephone call? But if we didn't answer the phone, shouldn't that have been a sign we were on our way to the lobby? So many small mistakes made throughout our short stay. A taxi was ordered for us and the hotel did pay for the service which we very much appreciate, so it did work out, but only after a bit of stress on our part. We would have had to wait half an hour for the next shuttle if we hadn't made a fuss. The room was comfortable, on site restaurant is very convenient, in room kettle, a bus stop nearby to get into town and a free airport shuttle. All good things. A few things could have been improved on our stay, but I still think this is a good option for an airport hotel. read more

The burger was great, but over two hours for a meal is ridiculous. We saw other patrons carrying their drink trays because they are understaffed. Had four separate wait staff. Had to ask multiple times for items. Has potential to be very good with better management. read more

For anyone who wants to stay overnight near the airport, the Carlton is a good bet. The rooms were comfortable and did a reasonably good job of insulating noise from the nearby airport. Shuttle service to the airport was quick and easy. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Wifi worked very well. The exercise room was a bit sparse but had free weights and some aerobic machines. Breakfast and dinner were pretty good and served our need for convenience, but nothing to rave about. read more

The Carlton Hotel is getting worse, not better. I was here in September, 2018 and they were doing renovations. Turns out the renovations were only to the lobby which is better than the previous lobby. Reception people are not very welcoming and don't even greet you. It took a considerable amount of time to check in and the woman barely spoke. As I stood in line to ask a question (I had already checked in) I watched the same lack of interest, friendliness, welcoming given to other visitors. Only one clerk on and others walking around from door to door behind the desk but no one coming to help visitors at the desk. The room was similar to what I had in September but in a worse location. When booking be sure to state you don't want to be on the side where the planes rake off and/or kand. It's right beside a busy road for airport bus/shuttles and can be noisy. The rooms have not been renovated and were the same somewhat outdated decor. The shuttle service is good getting you to and from the airport to the hotel. We also tried Kitty Hawk again which was a mistake. Food and service were awful. I will look for a different hotel near the airport on my next holiday. read more

Nice hotel near the airport. Nice staff and well appointed rooms. I'm a fan of the hotel, but not the location. It's too far from everything, and I wasn't sure if there's even anything around the hotel. I'd probably be depressed in here if I had to stay longer than 20 hours. On the plus side, the hotel has free WiFi, and lovely breakfast. I certainly enjoyed the fresh breads with mascarpone frosting. Delish! read more

Stayed one night before an early flight out. They were out of the room class I had booked, so desk clerk upgraded me to a nice single room suite with a seating area. Big comfortable room with a balcony with table and chairs. Big comfortable bed with nice linens, excellent in room amenities, free 24hr airport shuttle, great staff. Great place to stay near the airport. read more

The Carlton Hotel - My kind of hotel. Bottle opener on the bathroom wall. - Hotels Near Me - Cloghran, D

The Carlton hotel was a very nice hotel in Dublin Ireland. I stayed here for extra nights because my flight was canceled and so I got stuck in Ireland. The hotel was roomy, clean, and very well-stocked. The staff was incredible, very accommodating to all of the people that got stuck because of the flights delay. They fed us for free which was good. the food was OK but the drinks were great. Anyhow, if you are ever in Ireland, Dublin specifically and need a place to stay don't hesitate to stay at the Carlton. read more

I guess it was as expected being an airport hotel but it did fall short on a few things... 1. We had a balcony room and the wind came straight through the patio door seals (doors were shut tight), we could feel the breeze whilst in bed. 2. The room was on the second floor and above the drive, you could even hear people wheeling bags or women's clopping around in heels with the windows shut. 3. The restaurant was more like a motorway cafe, food was average at best and decor was a major throwback. So we got hardly any sleep and made a bee-line to the airport for breakfast ! read more

I recently had a 10 hour overnight layover in Dublin on a Saturday night on my way back to the US. Instead of camping out on an uncomfortable chair in the terminal, I decided to book a room at The Carlton Dublin Airport Hotel. I found a rate on Hotels.com for $128 which at the time was the most reasonable hotel airport rate featuring a free shuttle to and from the airport. When I landed I proceeded to the far end of the parking lot and waited for the shuttle. I had missed the shuttle by a few minutes and had to wait almost 30 minutes for the next one to stop by. When finally on the shuttle it took about 5 minutes to get to the hotel. The check-in process was pretty smooth for being at 11pm at night and also because I had paid up front for the hotel on Hotels.com. I was given a room on the first floor and scheduled a wake up call at 5:30am and reserved a spot on the 6am shuttle back to the airport. When I got to the room I was surprised how big it was. The room contained a queen bed, plenty of closets, two arm chairs, a coffee table, desk, dresser with a flat screen TV, and a pretty modern bathroom. At first I couldn't figure out how to work the lights in the room because I wasn't aware that I had to insert the key card into the slot by the door. Apparently this was some sort of energy saving initiative. The room was clean, quiet, and I was able to get a solid 5 hours of sleep before heading back to the airport. As for a rating, I'm going with 4 stars. The hotel was just what I was looking for late at night as a weary traveler and I'd stay here again if necessary. read more

Very nice hotel , From the happy front desk staff (Hannah ) to the Italian Kitchen ( name of their new restaurant ) Ran by Girish ( Original Bewleys staff ) .. The service was impeccable ( Grace and Mark ) and the Bar Man (Sean ) knew how to make a perfect drink .. We stop here 3-4 Times a year and have never been disappointed .. thank you read more

Warning " No Air Conditioning " The only reason they pick up a star is due to the people that work the reception , they were absolutely great though their hands were tied they were very nice and helpful . The hotel advertises Airconditioning but there is non in the rooms . There was a heat wave coming through on July 23 3019 So I intentionally went looking for a hotel near the airport ( to facilitate out exist out of Ireland the next day ) . This Place looked great via the photos and some of the reviews I was looking forward to our stay . Comes the night of check in the room is warm but really nothing that can't be fixed by triggering the room card switch . About 40 minutes later the room is hot somewhere in the range of 90 degrees I call the front desk and there comes the news you don't have Airconditioning ! What wait your site says you have A/C WTF is going on ? They tell me they can bring a fan over to help ! Little 8" fan Well let me paint a clear picture. We are next to the airport now we need to open the windows and open the drapes the plans stop running at about 2:30 am and start again at about 5:am , the sun rises at 4:30 am . So at this point you are in a warm room moving s little air with a little fan with the sun beaming and the roar of the airplanes filling the room . Not the makings of a restful night sleep ! So in my opinion they failed ! read more

I was booked here because of a missed connection. Right now I'm up at 1:15 AM because there's a loud party upstairs that the entire floor can hear. So I complain. Management comes by my room. "It's a party, you know. A Christmas party. It's the holidays." He's got this attitude about it. Like it's in the spirit of Christmas that guests are kept up after 1am. Here I was thinking the point of a hotel is to provide rooms to sleep in. I tried the dinner downstairs, because that was the only place to get dinner the airline would cover. The burger I ordered was dry, well-done meat, tasteless fixings, and a flaky, crumbly, stale bun that probably had been sitting for months in a cardboard box, and also tasted like one. As an aside, Aer Lingus is the awful airline that lost my baggage, screwed up my connecting flight, and set me up in this awful hotel. I guess a good night's sleep is not in their contract of carriage. read more

Nothing to write home about, but it does the trick. The furnishings are fairly new. It's kind of loud, and the windows rattle when planes take off or land, but the rooms are large. The bed is very uncomfortable, but I guess that could be personal preference. Got a night which included breakfast for €99. Not bad! read more

See, this is what happens when you love a place, think to yourself "I GOTTA write that review" and then go back 3 months later and think "Why did I like them so much???" First time here was really really nice. Awesome staff, fantastic room, good rate, nice dinner in the restaurant. So it would have been 5 stars. This past weekend stayed there again, and it was almost a different hotel (except the restaurant, that was still fine). Our room was crap, it had A MURPHY BED with bad springs, you could barely see the TV from the bed because the thing was offset on the wall and didn't swivel, and the paint was peeling off the deep scratches and dings in the cabinetry. It felt like we had been stashed in a room that had been thrown together with all the old stuff from the 90's that was laying around. There were even indentations on the floor showing where other furniture had been moved. Y'know, I probably would have even been ok with all that-we did get a decent rate using Roomex, but when we called to ask for a hair dryer and ironing board (which were supposed to be in ALL the rooms), my wife got attitude from the front desk and when she mentioned that the room was pretty funky, the reply was "Well, that's the quality of room you get for the rate you paid". So, four stars for the first visit, two for the second, let's average it to three. I'd go again, the shuttle service to the airport was great and the driver even went a bit out of his way to drop my wife near her office out there as I was the one travelling. Bottom Line: I KNOW I'm a steerage passenger, no need to rub it in... read more

Good place but not exceptional. Food is good. Close to airport. Shuttle runs every 15 minutes. Road nice and view 2 star but otherwise good.

Each staff member provided exceptional service. They foresaw needs, graciously accommodated constraints, and we're immediately responsive to requests. Rooms are clean and relatively spacious. I enthusiastically recommend this hotel. read more

We got bused here from the airport when our flight was cancelled. It was really quite nice and we didnt have to pay so great.

All you can expect from a four star hotel. Good pillows, clean, nice service (got a free taxi as the shuttle bus was already full), single tap for hot and cold water. On the negative side: I prefer showers with hose, free wifi apparently only for one device, expensive breakfast (which we didn't have), some TV stations didn't work. read more

The Carlton Hotel - soap and shampoo - Hotels Near Me - Cloghran, D

Just 5mn from the airport, this hotel is no only convenient but also fairly comfortable. Rooms are clean, modern and on top of that, inexpensive. The big issue with the rooms is the accoustic isolation, very low... I could hear everybody talking in the hallway, doors closing... The restaurant was very good, and service was excellent. I would rate the restaurant at least 4 stars. The food was also very well presented. Also worth mentioning, free wifi and free shuttle ride to the airport. Despite the thinness of their walls it looks like they care about their customers. read more

We stayed here on the last night of our Ireland trip. All the hotels in Dublin were full and it was the only place we could get rooms. That turned out to be great. We were very near to the airport, and there was a complementary shuttle to get there. Dinner in the hotel bar (Kittyhawks) was surprisingly good. We had the fajitas and risotto which were both served with a smile by Jimmy, who took good care of us. The staff were particularly great. I want to make a special mention of Brendan Kavanagh, who made a huge effort to ensure that our stay, despite being short, was as good as possible. We had a problem with our TV and Brendan put his excellent customer service and technical skills to work to ensure that it was fixed quickly. Based on our experience we would definitely stay here again. read more

I got a good price on room only from lastminutebooking.com it's a 4 star hotel. My main problem were getting through the doors with luggage, which in a airport hotel should not be difficult. Got free shuttle to and from the airport which was great. read more

Staff extremely friendly. The decor may be "modern" but the place is dated. Stains on walls, wood trim chipped up all over however room was very clean. The rooms are dark and lighting is poor, no frig. No outlet what so ever in the bathroom to dry hair!!! Hair dryer hidden in drawer; should have a small post stating where to find. Free airport shuttle is nice but the walk from the airport to the van is ridiculous (must be close to 3/4 mile from terminal 2) and the signage is confusing because of all the buses. I had to walk around all the buses to finally find the correct pick up place. read more

Wonderful people and great breakfast. This was just what I needed after crossing the Atlantic.

This lovely hotel was a beacon in the storm. Literally. When we dragged ourselves into the lobby, shivering and wet, the staff could not be more welcoming. We stayed for one night. We had an early flight to Spain the next morning. The room was spacious with a feeling of luxury. The flat screen television , posh bed linens and upscale toiletries gave us just the right pampering we needed to prepare for our journey. The complimentary shuttle to the airport was a definite plus. Also, we were able to leave our car in the parking lot for a nominal fee. And lastly, the staff could not have been more professional and personable. read more

Busy place that is frequented by air travelers. Lean staff but they manage to take the orders and deliver them timely. My flight was delayed and they comped my hotel and meals while waiting for my next day's flight. There is only one voucher for both hotel and restaurant and restaurant was asking for my voucher for food which reception kept already. Reception did not relay the guests with vouchers to the restaurant for some reason. Soup was pea and leek and it was flavorful and tasty plus generous. Apple crumble was good and it tastes fresh and not over sweet. Staff were amiable. Main course ...tortellini failed as it had heavy tasteless cream which was not enough. It was a dry dish. There were 4 red brown dots and 4 brown dits next to the pasta. Not sure what the dots for as they were tiny and did not help the dish at all. Dots are so yesterday and so user/eater unfriendly anyway As they do not add value to the food; wasted space. Service was great; starter and dessert very good; main course failed in execution. read more

If you need a place by the airport, this is a good spot. Decent price, room was a good size, nice shower, comfy bed. Only complaints are that they have a gym, but it is not really a gym, not much in it. The gym has tv's, but the remote for the tv had dead batteries. Restaurant is attached, but the food was not that good. But I am biased, and don't think much food in Ireland is that good. read more

This place is alright if you need a place next to the airport but I don't have anything to compare it to. This was probably the worst of all the hotels we stayed in. There was a huge crack along our entire window. We called to asked if they had any tea without caffeine and they said yeah they would bring it up. There was already a kettle and cups in the room. They bought it up brewed in a pot and it was €3! oh and don't forget the €3 charge per plate on room service! So it was literally €6 for a tea bag. SO CRAZY! None of the other hotels did anything like that! One hotel even brought us some toothpaste and tooth brushes when we forgot ours. Even though it's only €6 it just rubbed me the wrong way. We had already given our car back and the restaurant was kind of expensive so we ordered delivery. Almost no places will deliver here "because it's too far". They open for breakfast at 630 on the weekend. The breakfast was pretty good, not the best. There is a free shuttle to the airport, that was pretty convenient. read more

This was by far the worst stay we've had in Dublin. There was absolutely no WiFi and due to that we could not check into our flight the night before costing us 165 euro. For an international airport and there be unreliable WiFi and no ATM I found this place to be an absolute joke when it comes to accommodations. The rooms smelt filthy when you walk in, the toilet flush was pretty much broken, and the beds are lumpy and terribly uncomfortable. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else. read more

This review is not intended to rate the hotel but the main restaurant (Kittyhawks) which was a huge disappointment tonight. We always stay at this airport hotel as the food was historically very good. The sweet chilli chicken noodles were our favourite. Tonight my starter of hot chicken wings was so overly salty it was just unbelievable and I am fond of salt especially with chicken but this was beyond. My main course was a mushroom tagliatelle which apart from the visible evidence of a few slices of old looking fungi floating in a sea of flavourless, odourless heavy cream, you could have been forgiven for thinking was a heavy cream soup with flatulent over cooked noodles. Al dente is not a word the chef here is familiar with. I passed up this main course and changed to a chicken ginger and spicy stir fried noodle dish. The chicken in this like the starter of chicken wings smelled rather funky and tasted even worse. I took all the chicken outside and still couldn't eat it as the vegetables tasted like they had not been washed - especially the green beans - most foul. I left most of this dish too. The waiter Jimmy was wonderful and dealt with my dissatisfaction really well. He offered a desert and Irish coffee which at the moment of writing I have not tasted yet but hey how bad can a dessert be??? Note to Carlton Hotel. Please get a GOOD chef! read more
