Clayton Hotel Liffey Valley

Location amongst an industrial estate with shopping mall and starbucks within 5mins walk. Hotel itself is tired and in dire need of renovation. Despite it being low season no early check in was accommodated and we were so tired after our journey, floor was noisy with kids running up and down, bed was lumpy and hollow in the middle with springs digging in your back. No basic amenities such as toothpaste was offered. The pool was heated but the lockers were mostly broken with no door and no locks (so bring your own or risk theft). Would not recommend.

I stayed there overnight with my 14 year old.

The room although a "delux" may have been the size but honestly I wouldn't call it a delux. I had high standards but the bathroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned, the bath was covered in soap scum.

She wanted to go to the pool, and we tried using the disabled facilities. It was more like everything was forgotten.

The shower was leaking through where the control dial should have been but that was just a hole with what looked like mold.

The room itself id be surprised anyone cleans it. Yellow floor. Absolutely disgusting. In the end we gave up as I was having to lean against the door as it didn't lock either.

I'm sorry but no I won't be going back.

Which is a shame as the staff seem lovely

Lovely breakfast and very comfy room. However the big highlight was how cheerful and helpful the staff are. Big shout out to Elaine - the incredibly nice lady on reception who helped a Luddite use some tech and Rachel the night manager who went out of her way to be nice to a tired guest. Thanks everybody:)

Firstly, the toilet in our room had no ventilation, which caused discomfort during our stay.

More seriously, on the day of check-out, 9am and we were still inside the room sleeping, the cleaner knocked on the door and then entered the room while we were still inside. This was very disturbing and a clear violation of our privacy.

Very nice hotel. The staff at the hotel are very attentive and accommodating. The Globe Restaurant and Bar in the hotel is a nice place to have a meal and a drink or two. We had Jordan one of the restaurant staff waiting on us. He was very nice and very informative with the area we were in. He is a asset among others working at the Clayton Hotel.

My husband and I stayed for a week in the Clayton Liffey Valley while visiting family.
The hotel is right off the M50 motorway and there is a lovely mall, shopping centre, about 10 minutes walk away.
I loved the fact that the hotel has a pool and a hot tub.
Ate several times in the Globe restaurant and the staff were very friendly, especially Jordan. He was always very attentive, without being OTT.
I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel seems to have very poor management. Children were running wild and screaming in the lobby,in the bar and along the corridors to the rooms.
Breakfast is ok..typical hotel fare kept lukewarm under a heated lamp..
The bar staff,though lovely,have no system in place for ordering. Nobody notices you entering the restaurant ,and there is no system for taking an order. The food is just average and expensive for the quality.
The leisure centre is not clean and the guy at reception was unfriendly and quite rude.
The front desk staff are very disinterested in their job ,and though nice are very unprofessional.
The rooms are OK,bed was comfortable, no visible way to adjust the temperature. TV channels didn't work. Could do with a decor update. Room not cleaned daily, Had to go in search of milk sachets and water. Felt distinctly uncomfortable coming in from making a phone call on the balcony to find a member of the cleaning staff in the room who hadn't made me aware she was there. Even worse followed by a knock on the door from a maintenance man asking when I was checking
out which was strange and I felt a little spooked by it all .
The only positive is it's proximity to the shopping centre. Avoid

We stayed one night for New Year’s Eve. Have to say we think we expected a lot of noise given the time of year. But this couldn’t be further from the truth! Very quiet. And we felt very safe given access to lifts for bedrooms was allowed only via your key card. Very safe. We were greeted by very friendly staff at reception and again at breakfast. And at one stage we asked for extra tea bags and milk for our room, and were given plenty within a few minutes. We could access our room two hours earlier than check in of 4pm- I am assuming because we had checked in online and paid in full the night before. We received a lovely email at 1.30pm on the day of arrival to inform us our room was ready and we were also told our room number. This was extremely helpful and prolonged our stay-just what we needed. The room was quite warm, but all we had to do was open the window and turn off the radiator. Simple as that! Have to say bed felt a bit uncomfortable. But we still had a reasonable nights sleep. We feel furnishings/ bathroom could do with a small upgrade. Breakfast the following morning was great. Piping hot. Plenty of choice between fruits, juices, tea, coffees, hot breakfast, continental, yogurts, breads, pastries etc. Ample parking in the underground at a what we felt was a reasonable charge of €10 overnight. Overall a very pleasant, easy, relaxing, hassle free stay and we would definitely return. Thank you!

I was a little apprehensive about saying here due to so many negative reviews, but I decided to stay anyway as I was working nearby and needed somewhere to stay close by. However, I was actually very impressed by my stay here.

The location is very convenient, very close to the Liffey Valley shopping centre. Parking costs €10 which I did think was a little steep.

The reception staff were very friendly and welcoming when checking in. Our room was actually along a busy road and a lot of noise could be heard from the room. However, my partner asked at reception if it would be possible to move to a quieter room, and a lovely receptionist who I think was called Elaine was really helpful. We were given another room on the ground floor at the back of the hotel, which was much quieter.

The room itself was clean and spacious. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was also very good with a great selection.

We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely return!

Frank elevated our Dublin experience. He was personable, friendly and a pleasure to interact with. We will come back only for frank (and the pork belly). Cheers!

Listen up Clayton hotel you think it’s ok to give us a broken tv for the one we paid extra for stealing our car keys and looking outside for the car mm yeah thanks for that also I didn’t forget you sent weird men in to fix it who kept looking us wow what a good way to get sued

Worst hotel I’ve stayed in for years. It feels more like a motel than a hotel.

I specifically requested a quiet room away from the motorway and foot traffic before check-in, yet was given a room that felt practically on top of the motorway. Children were running and screaming up and down the corridors well past midnight.

I called reception three times, but the noise continued after midnight. For such a large hotel, the staff seemed unable—or unwilling—to manage guest behaviour. Being kept awake at that hour by other guests is unacceptable and deeply disappointing.

Breakfast was very poor, and the hotel is expensive for what it offers.

Avoid. Much better value elsewhere.

Very good food and amazing service from Sarah Jane. Thank you, I have been truly impressed. Would definitely recommend.

Phenomenal service in the restaurant, we had the pleasure of being served by Megan and Sarah Jane this evening.

Both extremely friendly, attentive and a professional.

Hotel has great facilities and even better staff.

Thank you both x

Best part of our stay was meeting the fabulous Jordan, waiter in the main restaurant and bar. Excellent charisma and personality and very efficient!

I travel to Dublin frequently for work, and after staying at the Clayton Hotel Liffey Valley five times now, I can confidently say this place has become my go-to — not just for the comfortable rooms, great pool, and convenient parking, but because of the food.
I’m not a chef, but I am a foodie. I know when a dish has been prepared with love — and when it hasn’t. Every single time I’ve eaten here, I’ve been blown away by the consistency, presentation, and most of all, the flavour. Tonight, I had the pleasure of meeting Chef Ian, and it all suddenly made sense. You can taste the passion that goes into every plate that leaves his kitchen.
This isn’t your typical “hotel restaurant” where food is just plated and served. There’s real creativity and care behind every dish — from starters to desserts. I’ve made my way through the entire menu by now, and honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re recognised with a culinary award or a rosette in the near future.
If you’re staying at the Clayton Liffey Valley, you’ll probably have a drink and end up dining here — and trust me, you’ll be glad you did. The food is a solid 10/10, bursting with flavour and personality. A total delight of a restaurant that deserves to be celebrated

Room 325 Terrible Hotel and it’s run down with old and the windows have mould and the rooms you can hardly breathe at night. The towels are wafer thin like toilet paper. The fixtures also are very dusty. The bar area is ok but just a coke will cost €4.50 euros which a rip off. If you have kids and they want to go swimming the hotel will charge you €3 for non-water proof shower caps. The doors is not soft closure and you will hear constant loud banging in the middle of the night and Room 326 were having a party which my son up. I complained and the manager Christopher Errity asked me to email him and then when I tried speak to him during my stay the reception staff they said he was always busy to call me or meet. Please don’t bother asking for early check in you won’t get it. I asked for a quiet room and I was given a room next to the duel carriage way.

Myself and my family stayed here it was our first ever night away. I picked it because it was close to different attractions and also had a pool and seemed good vaue for money so I thought but I had one of the most frustrating hotel experiences I’ve had in a long time. We were given a room on the 4th floor with our 9-month-old baby, and the noise was relentless. Kids were running up and down the halls unsupervised until all hours, making it impossible for any of us to sleep.

The room itself was another issue — far too hot, and despite the hotel advertising air conditioning, there was none. The TV didn’t work either, which was just another inconvenience on top of everything else.

The bar was no better. There was absolutely no service for food or drinks, the floor was dirty with food scattered everywhere, and when our food finally arrived it was cold. It was clear the staff were overwhelmed or simply not managing the space properly.

The only positive part of our stay was the breakfast, which was actually quite good. But unfortunately, that wasn’t nearly enough to make up for the overall experience.

Very disappointed and won’t be staying here again.

Took 25 minutes to check in at 6pm. Room on 4th floor was freezing cold. No hot water for bath- only luke warm. Chaotic service in bar / restaurant. Bed was uncomfortable, with lumpy mattress. Breakfast at 7.15am was poor.

We stayed here for one night on our arrival to Dublin.

Check in was smooth.

Beds were comfortable, but the room was very warm, with no ability to adjust the temperature. And this was in the middle of October. We used the fan in the room to help a little.

The Globe restaurant was disappointing. We arrived after 6pm and some items on the menu were not available based on our timing. It was confusing bd food was average.

Hotel hallways were noisy up until 2:30-3am.

Breakfast was amazing!!! The selection of food was unbelievable and delicious. And only a small fee to add to your stay.

€10 for parking.
