Start the holiday early!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 6 Jan 2025via mobile
We had an early flight so decided to stay over rather than getting no sleep before parking. The welcome was warm and friendly.
Our room was well sized and fully equipped with all expected amenities and even had a welcome gift that we appreciated.
We went to the restaurant to enjoy dinner out and start the holiday. The food was beautiful and there were plenty of options. Morning wake up call was perfect and no issues with the lift over to the airport.

    We left our car here for 10 days while we were away for Christmas. Got the their shuttle bus right to the doors of the airport.
    Returned on the 28th of December and stayed that night
    When we arrived there was a lot of people checking in but the two ladies at reception got through them very quickly and were very professional and polite.
    We stayed in room 313 and was very lovely and spacious. We stayed here a lot and they are always doing improvements to the place not that it needs it.
    We went drowning to the bar for a few drinks and some food and the service and the food was excellent. The food is alway very good here and plenty of choices.
    We had a very pleasant sleep and the room temperature was perfect and didn’t hear a sound all night.
    Got breakfast next morning and again was very good.
    We look forward to staying here anytime we are flying as it’s excellent hotel.

    Room tip: Book the shuttle bus at reception as some times can be busy

    Total disappointment leading to unnecessary hardship. First, about the room: the living area is fine, the television is modern and the safe is good - even the tea service is good. The bathroom is terrible (Room 306) hooks for towels or garments pulled away from their anchors - quite visible to staff. The shower head (a wand) fell off completely so it became a chore for me to fix while my spouse waited soaking wet for me to do something about it. The toilet water flow failed to evacuate solids until three tries for normal doings... ahem. Next was the natural of the sound proofing - hardly any by my reckoning. We had a 3:20 am wake up planned. At 1:00 am loud and rowdy people persisted in allowing doors to close loudly along with amplified talking and every bump or thud went through the structure. I went out to at least try to get whoever it was to be quiet but no one was there. I walked down the hall and heard a child crying (likely woken up) only to discover that the noise was coming from a "staff members only" door. Wow. We chose to give up at 2am and just wait for the first shuttle. Next: shuttle policy is really stupid. The van only holds 13 people (I think the driver said "13 - all full". So people were left to wait for the next shuttle. It isn't even first come first served... it's more like "load your suitcase yourself and maybe the van hasn't filled up when you try to get on". We got on, but I saw the disappointment in the people that didn't and I can't imagine what it would be like to miss a plane because of the cheapness of this hotel. But that's not all: we booked parking at the airport for five days, so we had to take a shuttle back to the hotel to get our car when we returned. Of course I fretted about getting on the Van when it showed up but... guess what? It didn't show! We waited for 50 minutes for a van that is supposed to arrive on the :15 and :45th minute of the hour. I called the hotel and got someone that didn't really speak (English) very well and didn't get an explanation only to tell me that the next van would be at :45 (another 20 minutes) so we had to walk back from Zone 16 at the Airport to Zone 20 with multiple laden bags (about 10 minutes) to hire a taxi to the hotel. The cost was 9.80. So I went to the desk and told then this all was unacceptable and gave them the receipt for the taxi expecting reimbursement. The person walked off and came back a bit later saying that there was no Manager (A Friday) and she couldn't give me cash. I immediately wondered why the hotel is operating without a manager for any number of reasons such as my complaint or to be a human resource person as needed or to mind the others or to conduct a fire evacuation - because the low language skills of the staff would not be helpful during a fire. I'm sure there are many other responsibilities for a manager that I am not aware of (like maybe making sure the Van is operating). I travel to Dublin Airport quite a few times each year and I have stayed at the Radisson and the Clayton without issues and with impeccable services. I made a mistake that will not be repeated.

    Nice room, plenty of space for the three of us but only towels and mugs for 2 people which is rather annoying. Buffet breakfast was nice and the hotel was warm and decorated nicely for Christmas. Find it hard to believe they have shower curtains in this day and age and water went everywhere which wasnt ideal when we were already short of towels. We arrived late on Sunday night at the airport and the shuttle bus was good.

    Many thanks for taking time to review our hotel and facilities here at the Carlton Hotel, Dublin Airport. We are sorry you were short of towels and a mug, had reception being notified, we would have immediately replenished them. We recently renovated all our bedrooms and plan to renovate the bathrooms in 2025.
    Hopefully you will give us another try again then.

    Kind regards,

    Last week I attend a meeting in the Carlton hotel. I have visited a few time and always liked the hotel. Lovely well kept property with ample parking and lovely staff. Our meeting was in the rooftop restaurant and the views are amazing over the airport and the Dublin mountains. Their Christmas decorations was amazing.

    Booked 2 rooms for night before returning home. The rooms were great. Spacious and comfortable. There was noise, but they can be expected from travelers arriving and departing at all hours.

    One of the rooms did not have heat. This was brought to attention of the front desk and was never corrected.

    The buffet style breakfast was not with it.

    They booked us a taxi for shuttle and the driver drove erratically and smelled very bad.

    4 stars as the rooms are very nice, clean ands beds were comfortable. There is a fridge (we needed as we brought back cheese), coffee and tea, a kettle, some cookies and hot chocolate.

    Room tip: Go to Swords, a charming town north of airport.. booked dinner there.

    Dear Kcollett67,

    Many thanks for your great feedback and we are delighted that you enjoyed the bedrooms. I will investigate why the front desk didn't correct your problem. Unfortunately, we have no control on taxi drivers or their capability to drive.
    Hopefully we will see you return to stay with us again.
