CLAYTON HOTEL BURLINGTON ROAD

The hotel room is well laid out and the shower comes with instructions and is fun to figure out. The bed is comfortable but jet lag makes a full night's sleep questionable. The dinner in the Dining Room was beef in a beautiful sauce on rice several salads. Dessert however will make you think the angels were singing just for you. It was a Bailey's Cheesecake. It was very tasty and enjoyable. The next morning eggs, baked beans, mushrooms, grilled tomato halves, blood pudding, sausages, Irish bacon, scones, pastries, toast, cereals, porridge, fresh fruit of all kinds, juices, coffee and tea. Now we have to get on the bus for a wonderful sightseeing trip through the streets of Dublin, Trinity College and seeing the book of Kells, and then walk through the Long Hallway where over 6 million books are shelved floor to ceiling. It has a staff of 180 people to look after this. Our young guide (a student, was very knowledgeable, funny and walked us around the grounds explaining everything about the school and the traditions. The afternoon was an option to go to the County of Wicklow and the countryside. There is a valley they call the '40 shades of green' and it is truly stunning. Once there we walked through St. Kevin's monastic site and then return to Dublin via Sugerloaf mountain. Wonderful day. Wow!

It was a pleasure to have an upgrade to a room with AC and the staff was REALLY helpful at everything. The breakfast buffet was large enough and all the foods in it were great! If we are ever going to Dublin again, we will be back! Wifi could be faster (only 2mbs), but its free of charge!

In Dublin, I stayed in three different hotels, this one, the Hilton Inn Garden , and the Amberley GuestHouse ( this latter being a trap, to be avoided at all costs). I rank the Clayton Burlington first for its location , even not being in the center, the neighborhood is charming and its channels worth to be seen even through the bus windows. The breakfast buffet and the room itself are wonderful. Everything is large, bathroom etc, and the gyms room with a great view. Only the staff at the reception desk could have been more smiling and helpful.

The hotel was nice and clean, staff helpful and friendly. City center was walking distance. I had some issue with the invoice I realised upon my return. Got in touch with the the hotel personnel and they reacted very promptly. Had a corrected invoice sent within an hour. I was satisfied with my my short stay here.

I stayed for a conference hosted here last week. Despite there being more than 500 of us, we were hosted, accommodated and fed to a very high standard. Special mention must go to the coffee bar - My many coffees from there were improved immensely by the service I received from Paul the barista. Always friendly, professional and to be greeted by name (and to remember my coffee order) was the icing on the cake. Highly commended
