Premier Inn Dublin City Centre (North Docklands)

The hotel is very clean. Besides its own restaurant, there's a bar right across the street, and also three convenience stores or mini-supermarkets nearby. While it's a bit far from the city center, you can get there by taking a 5-minute walk to the tram station. Getting to and from the airport by bus also only takes about 25 minutes, which is super convenient.

Located near the pier, it's a 30-minute walk to the bustling downtown area, offering decent value for money. The front desk service was also good; they were able to resolve any issues. There's no free parking, which is understandable given its proximity to the city center. A convenient plus is its super close location to the airport shuttle stop, less than a 10-minute walk. The room windows, however, do not open.

I've stayed at this hotel chain in London before and was quite satisfied, so I chose them again for my last two days in Dublin. Although it's not in the city center, the transportation is pretty convenient. Bus routes G1 and G2 go directly to the city center and the train station. I particularly love their beds; the firmness is just right, and I slept very comfortably.
