Clayton Hotel Ballsbridge in Dublin

This old building was formerly a Freemason girls' school. It's ideally located right on the bus route to the city center. It has a lovely breakfast room, and the breakfast itself was excellent in terms of both variety and quality. Items were constantly replenished and were always available. The staff is friendly and helpful. The bar in the basement is comfortable and features a piano. The rooms were clean but not ultra-modern. Good quality at a good price. All in all, highly recommended.

Great location Clean rooms. Quiet. Friendly efficient staff Good breakfast

This hotel for me has one of the best locations in Dublin. As you enter youll see the Seal of Solomon over the main entrance. This symbol is deeply room rooted in the masoniic tradition. The building was completed in 1881 and was designed to house and educate the daughters of deceased or "indigent" Freemasons. At the time, providing a formal education to young girls—training them to be teachers or governesses—was considered quite a progressive social endeavor. The hotel itself is really well laid out. The downstairs bar restaurant is so spacious and modern. There's a refuel spot down here also for cooled UV-treated water. The staff were lovely and welcoming. There's a nice blend of old and new in the hotel. Our room was basic enough, and there are undoubtedly "nicer" rooms in the hotel. We had a complimentary water and teas and coffees. The pillows were real "solid" and I liked that. The bed was super comfortable. And the bathroom was spacious and clean. The best thing about this hotel is that it is in undoubtedly the most affluent area of Dublin. Sandymount strand is only a short walk away and it is a fabulous place to explore safely. I'll definitely stay here again when in Dublin. The exercise room needs a little improvement but I believe its a "work in progress".

The hotel is awesome and the staff are great, specially the staff at reception.

Great stay at the hotel. Everything was clean, comfortable, and the staff were very welcoming. A special thanks to Adrian at reception who went above and beyond to look after us during our stay. His friendliness and helpfulness really made a difference. Would definitely stay again!

Spotless and very friendly staff

I had an evening meal. Thank you for catering for my restricted diet. Staff were very helpful and curtious.

This is a lovely hotel let down by the rooms and lack of internet connection. In this day and age access to the web is essential. Staff were very pleasant and food in the restaurant was also good.

Place needs an upgrade. No tech communication outlets in the rooms. Great location. Very expensive.

Great location, friendly staff and decent breakfast buffet, my only small negative is the bathroom was quite basic and didn’t have any hair conditioner or body lotion / complimentary toiletries
