General FAQs

HOW DO I GET TO THE DRURY COURT HOTEL?

Please see our directions page for our exact location and directions to the hotel

Airport Transportation:

For transportation from Dublin airport to Drury Court Hotel, there are a number of convenient options available:

1) Air Coach: These blue buses are located outside the arrivals hall and tickets can be purchased on board the bus (although are slightly cheaper online).
The journey into town takes approximately 45 minutes, and the closest stop to the hotel is on Kildare Street.
From here it is approximately a 10 minute walk to our hotel (please see Google walking directions): https://goo.gl/maps/DrcGbVhRQERnPwbH9

2) DublinExpress: You can take the number 782 DublinExpress bus from the airport. The nearest bus stop is on Wellington Quay by Temple Bar and from there the hotel is within 10 minutes walking distance. The DublinExpress bus tickets can be purchased on board the bus or online, with return discount available. Please see google walking directions : https://goo.gl/maps/fss4e4JvKoU2eVvp7

3) No. 16 Public Bus: This is a public bus and costs €2.60 (exact change) each way.
The journey into town takes approximately 1 hour 10 minutes, and the closest stop to the hotel is George’s Street Arcade.
From here it is a 2 minute walk to our hotel, turning left just before Capitol bar onto Stephen Street Lower.

4) Taxi: The taxi rank is located outside the arrivals hall at the airport.
This is the only door to door option available and will be the fastest option (as well as the more expensive).
The fare to our hotel should cost in the region of €35.00-€40.00 and the journey should take approximately 30 minutes.
If you are given the option to go via M50 or Port Tunnel, we do not recommend this, as it adds a minimum of €10.00 to the journey and does not save much time in getting to our location.

WHAT TIME IS CHECK IN/OUT?

Check In is from 3pm each day; if you require an early check in, please contact reception directly (+35314751988) prior to arrival and we shall do our best to accommodate you.

WILL IT BE SUNNY FOR MY STAY IN DUBLIN?

Dublin is notorious for its inconsistent climate and although, according to the calendar, Irish Summer begins on 1st May and last until 1st August, the weather doesn’t always follow this!

Therefore we recommend that our guests have a look at the online forecast before travelling to avoid any weather related surprises during their time in Dublin.
