The Metro Hotel Dublin Airport

Nice hotel In a handy spot close to where we needed to go. This is our second time to stay here but sadly I can’t see us returning unless we were guaranteed a room away from the road. The traffic didn’t stop all night and I hardly slept, I managed to get about an hour in the morning due to sheer exhaustion. We had a little apartment which is ideal for myself my husband and two children. Strange though how the tea making facilities are in the room with the bunk beds which is very obviously for the kids, luckily our two are older and sensible enough not to play with the kettle. There was only one bin in the rooms so we had to share. Plenty nice clean towels and soap etc. The staff on the reception are very nice and helpful especially Yusuf who checked us in and helped us to retrieve our disabled parking spot when an able bodied man had parked in it after we’d returned from dinner in another establishment. I would love to return but as everyone knows sleep is the most important part of a hotel stay and as this was my biggest issue I can’t see us returning, which I’m really sad about because it’s in such a great spot.

Room ok, food and drink terrible What an utter disappointment. Came to the bar to have dinner with kids. Got a terrible pint of Guinness , head was massive, Luke warm and obviously lacking in gas. Then the food, hot wings with blue cheese and celery sticks came as bbq wings with thick blue cheese sauce! We ate them, but they weren’t what we ordered. Server was extremely loud and intense, asked him if I could have plain pasta with kids nuggets. He said probably not but he’d ask the ‘chef’! Returned to say chef was doing him a favour and we could have the pasta… hooray! Pasta arrived with tomato sauce and when I said we asked for plain he said No, the chef already did me a favour. So wasted pasta (probably costing about 10c) but charging a lot more. Then the nuggets, they obviously ran out of one cheap type and then supplemented with a different type. All as bad as each other. Dont order the curry, my husband paid extra for prawns and there was about 4 or 5 max.. curry is Indian, thick and dry… overall, the worst meal I have eaten in years… which isn’t good when they are charging so much. Hotel overall very average. Friendly front of house staff, that’s about it. As they say ‘Never again!!’

Does what it says on the tin Located very close to Dublin Airport, it is an ideal stop for travelers. Getting into town is, of course , a longer trip. Check in was easy and our apartment on the 13th floor was quite nice with an amazing terrace and views. Only 2 issues we had were the inferno in the corridor from the lift to the apartment (bad design by the architect) and the heavy fire doors in each room with a strong spring, which kept banging the doors behind us every time we entered or left a room. Otherwise it was great

Nice and modern - good restaurant It was a surprisingly nice hotel. Outside doesn't look too flash but the bar and rooms were nice and modern. We also got the free shuttle bus from the airport that runs about every 30 mins. Overall it was a nice 1 night stay before heading off into Ireland. We did have an issue with the shower controls being stiff and unusable and the staff were difficult to get a hold of. Other than that it was a nice stay

Not great Before arriving at the hotel we rang up to discuss an early check-in, to which the member of staff was very abrupt and informed us that a room could probably be available before 2 but to 100% guarantee it it would be a 20€ charge. This was fine however he kept insisting us to not do this as a room should be ready. Upon check-in, we paid 5€ for on-sight parking. The underground car park was in shambles and there was cars just dumped in them and so were forced to park just outside the main entrance. The room itself was very basic with a broken sink stopper and toilet paper holder. We asked for help with this and was told we didn’t need a sink full of water to shave, which is why I wanted it. The staff weren’t accommodating and provided no information regarding the amenities, check out time, breakfast or anything.
