If you have a 6am flight out of Dublin Airport (DUB), the maths is simple: a hotel near the terminal beats a taxi across the city before dawn. The airport sits 10 km north of the centre and is the home base for Aer Lingus and Ryanair, handling around 32 million passengers a year. Hotels near Dublin Airport fill the gap for early departures, late-night arrivals, and the awkward layovers between transatlantic and European connections. Hotels near the airport
There's a decent spread to choose from, budget rooms up to four-star brands, and most run a free shuttle to the terminals. The city centre is 20 to 30 minutes away on the AirCoach or by taxi, but for a pre-flight night you don't really need to go that far. Several properties also bundle parking with the room, which works out cheaper than long-stay car parks if you're driving in.
