Days Inn Dublin Airport

The trip i booked was for a surprise birthday gift for my partner who was turning 21.
We flew from Manchester and 40 minutes later we were in Dublin - Great.
We carted our bags from the carousels and made our way into the main arrival halls, and found the phone to call our hotel.
They were really friendly and directed us to the destination our driver was going to pick us up. We waited 15 minutes maximum and was greated by a lovely little minibus with Michael as our driver. He was lovely and had a story about everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrything, which was a great way to start the trip.
We pulled up at the hotel which was about 7 minutes away from the airport to a very new, clean and crisp hotel. The reception always had somebody on hand and we were checked in with ease. We stayed on a room only basis, and the room was amazing! neat, tidy, modern, and free internet access and the football!
The hotel was easy to find your way around, there is a restaurant , we never had the pleasure of eating in it, but we did have a few drinks in there, and the atmosphere was homely and friendly.
With arriving at the hotel quite late on in the afternoon we stayed in the hotel the first night, stuck with what to get for food we asked main reception if there was anywhere around that we grab something to eat. Kristel was more than happy to hand us over some fast food leaflets they kept on reception and rang and ordered the food for us so we didnt have to venture out.
The hotel isn't in the greatest place, as its a developing area. The flats overlooking the hotel are being emptied and knocked down to build new business places so it looks abit shabby around the hotel, and there are a few wierd looking people hanging around the empty buildings.
The hotel is literally 2 minutes away from a bus stop that takes you directly into the city centre @ 1 euro 70 to get to dublin centre its great! Our first day in Dublin was a Sunday then a bank holiday Monday so buses aren't as frequent, maybe every 30 minutes, but normal weekdays the buses are prompt at every 10 or so minutes. Exact change is needed on the bus also, so be sure to carry change with you! If not reception and the hotel restaurant are always happy to change notes for change!
The hotel is friendly, clean and cannot do enough for you, they are laughing and joking all the time, so makes your stay that little bit easier! Its not in an ideal location but if your happy with jumping a bus for a 10 minute bus journey into main Dublin, its a great base.
