Top hotels in Sandyford
Clayton Hotel Leopardstown
Staff were all very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was of a really good standard. The pillows on the beds were extremely lumpy and uncomfortable. Just a small thing, but can lead to an uncomfortable nights sleep.

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin
The rooms were quiet and the beds were comfortable. The staff overall were ok… but not excellent. When at the pub we always had to go and order at the bar, as they are not overly attentive.

Clink i Lár
In the 8 bed girls dorm there is a separate shower room and toilet in the room, which is great for mornings. The beds had good privacy too. Very central to Dublin City centre, transport is simple to navigate and everything is very walkable.
