Expensive but convenient
Pros:

We took the shuttle from the airport to the hotel which was further from the airport than we expected. In the morning our flight was at 8am so it was convenient to have the shuttle to get back.
The room was very plain for the price we paid. Nearly $300 CA a night.
Room was modern with a nice bathroom and hot shower. The room was very hot during the night and we couldn’t get the AC to work to cool it. The room was on the first floor and I think we were over the kitchen because we had a mechanical noise off and on all night. Wasn’t a comfort sleep at all.
We ate in the restaurant and the food was excellent. Good service too. I surprised us we had to make a reservation for dinner and once we arrived there was one other couple there….

Great location for Dublin Airport Access
Pros:

The hotel is in an ideal location for the airport and provides a shuttle bus which is very handy. Its located in an area where there is a restaurant next door and some retail stores nearby (but mainly DIY style stores). The rooms are typical Premier Inn rooms, nothing extravagant but perfectly functional. It is a nice modern hotel and good value for money. There is a good selection of food for breakfast and they were able to provide gluten free options. Only criticism is you only get two pillows with a double bed so if sharing, thats only one each!

Excellent Choice for an Airport Hotel
Pros:

Very nice hotel with excellent location close to airport. Convenient as we arrived in Dublin in the afternoon from Spain, and caught a flight back to the US the following morning. Reasonably priced. Room was small but updated, with a squeaky clean and modern bathroom. Bed was very comfortable. Obviously recently updated, so a nice surprise.
Dinner at restaurant was nice – the Chicken Makhani curry and the Battered Fish & Chips were both good, better than expected for a budget hotel restaurant. The breakfast buffet was also good, with fresh hot and cold options. Prices were reasonable. Service at both meals was also prompt, friendly and helpful.
Hotel Shuttle to and from the airport was excellent – good price at €3 per ride per person, and left exactly on time both times.

Family weekend break
Pros:

Great service and clean room.
We had the dinner and breakfast deal and the food was great for the evening meal. The breakfast was well stocked with plenty of choice as normal with this hotel. We needed more pillows for the children’s beds and we didn’t have to wait long on them coming they were at the door with in a few minutes. Highly recommend this hotel for any type of stay.

Overnight stay in Dublin
Pros:

We stayed in the Premier inn hotels before and we always had a positive experience so I didn't hesitate to book it. The whole hotel experience was excellent from start to finish. The easy check-in process , extra large bedroom with king-size comfortable beds, fast WiFi, excellent food choice for breakfast and reasonably priced. Highly recommend this hotel group as they never disappoint.

Excellent Location and value for money
Pros:

First time staying here and I got a really good rate (101 eur) for a family of four on a Friday night before our two week trip to the USA. I did book this well in advance but the hotel is very nice and clean. The room was so spacious. Staff are lovely. I initially didn't book breakfast but decided to add it when I got there. One free kid per paying adult and I have to say, the breakfast for the cost was really good. Fresh, great selection, not rushed in any way. Will without question be using this for future stays prior to a flight.

Great if you need a room before an early flight.
Pros:

Great place to stay, we needed a room before an early flight, and having the hotel have a bus that goes to and from the Airport was great collected and picked up from the door of the Hotel. Would recommend for anyone that has to get to a flight early.

Great place for a layover stay
Pros:

Very welcoming coach driver at the airport despite the horrendous weather. He set the tone for all of the team, what a fabulous level of engagement and service
We had a plus room and were very happy with it
Dinner was really enjoyable and Boden very charming and helpful
Breakfast was also good
A little bit of a faff to find the coach when you land but other than that just perfect

Good location!
Pros:

Very good location. Shuttle bus from/to airport every 30 minutes both ways. However it costs 3 euro each way for the paid guests - just a kind reminder. But the free shuttles that are provided by more expensive hotels may be included within their higher prices, I guess. WiFi was slow for me. Good enough for texting and messaging but slow for social media and web browsing.

Hotel close to the Airport that was reasonably priced
Pros:

Arrived late at night and chose this hotel as it had a shuttle and we did not want to take a taxi or uber.
Was able to make a reservation which gave me a particularly difficult task as I could not enter the Canadian postal code.
Found the shuttle bus and found out it was 3 euros each. Wish they would have put that in their comments as it might have made a difference on whether we stayed there or not!

Falls well below par for a premiership in.
Pros:

On arrival I found the lady on reception rude, I was asked my name which I gave but when I offered my booking reference I was rudely cut off by the lady receptionist.

The room itself was clean and tidy, the biggest downfall for our stay was that the room was warm and stuffy, when we went to use the heating/Air con system it wasn’t working efficiently, and done nothing to the temperature of the room. When inspecting if we could open a window to let some air into the room we found that there was no way of doing so.
We were stuck in a hot box for the evening.

Ticks most boxes but not all.
Pros:

Ticks most boxes. Competitive pricing, clean, comfy, free parking (unless very busy). Secure paid for carpark at rear with bus transport to airport. Great albeit no frills restaurant, friendly bar. Quiet; well sound proofed. Easy access to airport.
But no room safe. Walkin shower is great but scary to access & egress due to narrow space and there’s no grab handle. On that note alone if anyone has mobility issues I’d recommend contacting the hotel prior to booking. The free carpark space at front is quite tedious to transit suitcases due to the roughness of the space & slope of the narrow footpath.

Pros:

The hotel was very clean, and quiet - even with it's proximity to the airport. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The grounds of the hotel were overgrown and unkempt at the time of my stay; possibly between landscaping connectors?
The family room I booked was larger and more comfortable than the similar room at Premiere Inn City Centre and although the 3rd bed is just a cot it was still comfortable.
Bathroom was typical and served the purpose with the exception of the toilet roll... There's a special place in hell for places that forgo proper toilet roll for thin, single sheets. It's toilet roll, don't be so cheap.
