Dublin Hotel
 
We need a hotel to stay at the night before our transatlantic flight. Which hotel do you prefer, Westin, Four Seasons, K Club?

Thanks,
Cat

I've only stayed at the Westin, But I can't imagine that the others could be better. The Westin's location is perfect and the hotel is really something special.

I'm a dubliner and I would choose the Westin or the Four Seasons, if I were you, the K Club is also very nice but its a good bit further out from the airport its in county Kildare, whereas the other two are in Dublin, my personal favourite is the Westin, I love it.

The following would be suitable
The Great Southern Hotel Dublin is situated in the Airport complex

The Clarion Dublin Airport Hotel
(www.clariondublinairport.com)
Travelodge appox. 2 miles from the airport
Safe journey.

Lucielou is right K Club is miles away and too long a trip to the airport. Westin is very Central and the four seasons is lovely in Ballsbridge a short hop to the city.

A friend went to Sunday brunch recently in the westin and said it was Amazing. Buffet style with a glass of champagne and lovely food. I am hoping to splurge soon!

Thanks, Westin it is then. Would you suggest a cab or train to Roscommon from Dublin. IT LOOKS like the train might be quicker, but a hassel from the airport.

A taxi to Roscommon from Dublin airport would cost you fortune, you can get the shuttle bus in the airport into the city centre and then get a train to Roscommon.

The first link is the shuttlebus timetable. The second is the Train Time table. good luck.
