Top hotels in Rathfarnham
Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport
Clean accommodations with a shuttle to/from Dublin airport. The shuttle was a bit confusing to find because there is another hotel with basically the same name. It’s also where many tour groups start from so it can be crowded to check in depending on your arrival.
