Travelodge (not quite next to) Dublin Airport Ballymun

Advantages: cheap, clean, comfortable, what you would expect
Disadvantages: not that close to the airport, receptionist ignored us

...A couple of weekends ago my boyfriend and I went to a wedding in Ireland. We were going to arrive late at night so I thought it was best if we stayed in a hotel near the airport on the night we arrived, and then go on to our final destination on the following morning. I searched on Lastminute.com and found the ?Travelodge Dublin Airport Ballymun?. It was a 3* hotel and on lastminute cost a mere £41.52 for a double room, but the best part was that (I thought) it was close to the airport. When we arrived it seems that there were no shuttle buses running to the hotel, so we jumped in a taxi thinking that the hotel wasn?t too far away.. then we started driving, and driving and driving. There are a lot of road works going on around Dublin airport so the taxi driver couldn?t take the closest exit to go to the hotel, so we ended up paying ?20...

Carlton Hotel Dublin Airport Quality

Advantages: New build, price, high quality, service, location
Disadvantages: Some airport noise

...OVERVIEW I had not heard of the Carlton hotel chain prior to my visit to Ireland in late 2006, but it turned out to be a brand new 4 star modern hotel and the cheapest of this hotel class in Dublin at the time of my booking. I had already had a bad experience with a previous hotel in Ireland and was anxious that I didn?t want this episode repeated, so I took the plunge and booked with the Carlton. I was not disappointed and will be returning later this year. The hotel is ideal for short breaks, business meetings, people with an interest in aviation and families. LOCATION The hotel is located about 5 minutes drive from the main airport terminal. The hotel is new, it only opened about a year ago, it?s smart, modern and extremely competitively priced for hotels in this class, especially when using one of the many online...

Bewleys Hotel Dublin

Advantages: Near To Airport, Price
Disadvantages: None?

...I stayed at the Bewleys Hotel once before flying out from Dublin Airport, its a great location if you chose to fly from Dublin and live quite far away from it. The double room we stayed in cost around 69 euros for one night, this is reasonable when you look at it from the point of view that travelling to the airport will be much easier the day after and also that your holiday begins a day earlier by staying there. The room was clean and tidy and quite modernly decorated, there were two large (well big enough) double beds in the twin room and a small sitting area, the bathroom was clean and had a shower and a bath in it and had a few little treats like shower gel and a small sewing kit in it which I always like when I am staying in a hotel. There was a decent sized tv in the room that had a good range of channels that catered...

Dublin Airport

Advantages: Good Transport Links, Main Airport into Ireland, Easy to find your way around
Disadvantages: Lack of Shops,

...Dublin Airport is located approximately 6 miles north Of Dublin and can be easily accessed via taxi, train, or coach. The airport is located near the M50 and M1 Motorways, I travelled to dublin with Ryan Air which was a troublefree flight landing in on time. Upon arrival at Dublin you go straight to the baggage reclaim area which is clearly signed. The baggage hall is relatively small and there were half a dozen conveyors with luggage from all the latest arrivals passing through. Your flight number is displayed on the screen along with the conveyor belt number to enable you to locate your luggage. Once you have claimed your luggage you progress onwards to customs where there are three channels, red, green and blue. Blue Channels should be used by passengers arriving from an EU Country with nothing to declare. Green...

Review of Dublin (DUB)

Where's the airport? Oh - 5 miles away...!

Advantages: Well run hotel
Disadvantages: Not near City Centre and 5 miles from the airport.

...plus point in my view. As usual, I went into the Hilton site at http://hhonors.hilton.com via the Quidco website, (www.quidco.com) which meant I got 6% cashback, not to be sneezed at even if it does take a while to come through! I had decided to stay my first night at the Hilton Dublin Airport: http://www1.hilton.com/enUS/hi/hotel/DUBAPHI-Hilton-Dublin-Airport-hotel/i ndex.do I was in a hurry to book, as everything was a bit frenetic and so did not spend time checking exact hotel location details - my mistake! The booking process went through painlessly as usual - a fully flexible bed and breakfast rate for roughly £93 and I was soon holding my reservation confirmation in my hands. However, I noticed that for some reason, despite having specified a non-smoking room, my print-out said I had a smoking room, urrggh! Deciding it...

A taste of the Orient - In Dublin?

Advantages: Comfortable, Friendly Staff
Disadvantages: None I could find

...Over the Easter holiday I had to work in Dublin, so I needed somewhere to stay. I wanted to be close to the airport, as I had a flight to catch quite early in the morning after I finished work. The hotel I chose was the Crowne Plaza at Dublin Airport. The main reason was that it is part of the Six Continents hotel group, and I have a ?Priority Club card? so I get points for staying, which I can use for free nights in any of the groups hotels. ** Getting there ** From the airport, I found a Hotel information board, from here I could ring the hotel and request a pick up. The receptionist explained where the courtesy bus picks up from, and asked me to go there and wait. About 15 minutes later the hotel courtesy bus arrived. The driver was really friendly, and greeted me like a long lost friend. When we arrived at the hotel...

Disadvantages: none

...an excellent hotel very close to the airport. ideal for late arrivals or early departures. the hotel caters for people's needs well, including disposable razors and toiletries if you forget them or if luggage has been lost somewhere- it does happen. the food and drink service is excellent and the staff aim to cater for your dietary needs as well. it is family friendly and the rooms are spacious and have double glazing. there is a courtesy bus from/to the airport, you just need to use the complimentary phone in arrivals hall or hotel reception and they will come and pick up from outside the arrivals hall.

Alicante Airport

Advantages: Good location, decent amenities
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...I use Alicante airport for my annual break in Spain and find it is convenient and fairly easy to use. It is situated just outside Alicante on the Costa Blanca, around 46.5km from Benidorm. It is within driving distance of Valencia, around two hours and 179km. Arrivals You would probably fly to Alicante if you were staying in Benidorm, Torrevieja, Altea, Calpe, Moraira or Teulada. It is popular with budget airlines such as Easyjet and Bmibaby and there are flights from many regional airports in the UK such as East Midlands, Liverpool, Bristol, Newcastle and Stansted to name a few. There are around ten car hire companies who operate out of the airport including the big names like Avis, Europcar and Hertz, these desks are located in the arrivals hall and can get busy at peak times. There are also local car hire companies who...

chicago airport

Advantages: Gets me from A to b efficiently
Disadvantages: It's an airport!

...Chicago airport. On a recent visit to san Diego, we had to have a stop in Chicago airport for a couple of hours...most of my travelling seems to be spent in airports! It was the busiest airport in the United States until Atlanta became the busiest and it was apparently voted best airport in North America in 2000...that's 8 years ago so i don't know which airport has been winning since then. The airport is 20 miles from downtown Chicago but since we weren't actaully going to Chicago we didn't actally leave the airport so I can't comment on the transport links. **The Terminals** Of course when stuck in an airport these are the places you see most often. There are 4 terminals and strangely enough these are Terminals 1, 2, 3 and Terminal 5 which is the International Terminal...whatever happened to number 4? All of the terminals are...
