Clarion Hotel Dublin Liffey Valley  

all i will say i had a simple sitution very badly handled by the night manager and will never stay there again.

Excellent. Staff great and enjoyed my stay.

Motorway and lack of air con

Pool was closed and then to be told to go up to the village for a swim. Room was not nice, Staff could do with more training on customer service

We had a nice stay.

the bedrooms are set up WiFi this is only in the lobby of the hotel need to be up-date so can be used in the bedrooms also.

Very suitable for business travelers and meetings.

Overnight guests paying parking charges. Also the orange juice at breakfast could be better.

Location, bar food was excellant.

We've stayed in this hotel on several occasions. The location to the west of Dublin suits us and we really like the leisure centre and swimming pool. But don't forget to bring swim hats! There is an excellent shopping centre and cinema right beside the hotel, plus a good bar/restaurant, The Arc, across the car park. It does an excellent, good value breakfast. The hotel is very popular with family groups and the rooms are spacious. Our family room had a double and two single beds, but didn't feel squashed. Overall, a good budget choice and very convenient location.

The only downside is that some of the families can be a bit noisy - older kids (and their parents!) shouting in the corridors quite late at night. Plus, it's very busy at weekends, leading to large queues for the restaurant at breakfast time. That's why we prefer to walk two minutes across the car park to The Arc restaurant. It's quicker and cheaper!

Location was good to downtown Dublin. Free internet Tea biscuits were good. Showers had good pressure and nice hot water.

Our room clearly smelled of cigarette smoke when specifically booked a non smoking for medical issues of my child. I booked to for the pool for my kids and the pool hours for the kids were horrible. I had to take them back to our room in tears the first night due to not being able to swim. They had been looking forward to that for 2 weeks. Then the t.v. selections was crappy and they had a rotten night. Also, due to the pool hours we had to change/shorten our outside itinerary to make it back to swim. We had to spend 12 Euro on swim caps only to find 9 people in the pool without them while we were in there. Also, extremely rude guests in the halls with crying and loud kids and all hours of the night.

I liked the hotel for it's modern and up to date look. Our room was very nice and the colour scheme was modern. Include shower hats next tine....

The gym facilities were good, I quite enjoyed the food aswel.

I ordered a double bed, what I got was two single beds put together, which made for a very un comfortable night. The shower was in a bath which was tiny. I couldn't watch movies on the tv, the reason the front desk gave was because I onlyhad a debit card, on a recent visit to the Crowne Plaza this was not an issue.

having to pay for car parking

The Double bed in the room was very hard and uncomfortable and a lot of noise from hallway during the night

Being wheelchair disabled I find the room & hotel facilities are excellent. Location is great for shopping (Liffey Valley) and also my daughter's house (less than half a mile away). When my wife visits she stay at the hotel as well and finds the airport flybus excellent as well.

They only thing I was disappointed with was that breaskfast wasn't served until 7am and I had to leave the hotel shortly after 6am to catch my ferry. No doubt you must have other guests having to leave early to catch flights or ferries?
