The Metro Hotel Dublin Airport

The staff were really good, helpful in their information too. They explained about getting around the City, which number busses to catch, where to get off and so on. The chap on the desk in the morning was very good too, telling us about the shuttle bus and ensuring that we knew all about it, so that our journey onward was smooth.

The room has a box outside the bathroom, high up on the wall. It made a buzzing noise all the time were were there. I have no idea what it was for, but the buzz was loud enough to keep me awake all night. If we hadn't had an early start next morning we would have asked for a room change. The beds were rather small too.

I was able to eat breakfast at the restaurant while waiting for my room (I arrived in early morning) and the staff were very knowledgeable and helped me make plans for my day (even looked up a few things on the web for me). The room was clean and comfortable. Took me a few minutes to realize that I needed to insert my room card to get the lights and outlets work (smile). Bus stop was right around the corner and went directly to the curt center on O’Connell St (beside the Post Offuce where you can still see the gullet holes from the 1916 “rebellion”).

It was not within easy walking distance to city center as I’d hoped and you need to have coins (no paper money) for the bus. Taxi cost me €18 to city center from hotel. Ouch!) Rhis however is not the hotels fault but just a “need to know”.
