The right Dublin Airport hotel means no early-morning panic, no expensive taxis and no rushing. Compare all Dublin Airport hotels with Holiday Extras — with free cancellation on most bookings.
Why Stay at a Dublin Airport Hotel?
Dublin Airport is 10km north of the city centre. For early morning departures, late-night arrivals, or long stopovers, staying at an airport hotel makes far more sense than navigating the city in the early hours.
Airport hotels in Dublin are clustered on the Naas Road (N22) corridor and the main airport access road — most are within a 5-minute free shuttle ride of the terminals.

- Check-in flexibility — some hotels allow very late check-in for night flights

Airport Hotels vs City Centre Hotels — Which is Better?
