How we researched this
Last checked: 2026-11-02.
Sources reviewed: property listing snippets, booking platform listings (Expedia, Agoda, Trivago), a neutral review platform (TripAdvisor), and search result snippets with booking-rate summaries.
Limitations: no on-site visit, no staff or guest interviews, no live rate check, no independent check of bus timetables with the transit operator, and only four independent listing pages were available, so the citation set falls short of the planned minimum.
Metro Hotel apartments Dublin Airport location
The property listing snippet places the property at Santry Cross, Ballymun Road, Dublin 9, Ireland, one minute from the M50 motorway. The same snippet gives a seven-minute drive to Dublin Airport, while Trivago puts the dedicated airport transfer at about ten minutes.
- Seven minutes by car to Dublin Airport per the listing snippet, against about ten minutes for the Trivago transfer.
- One minute to the M50 motorway per the listing snippet.
- An airport bus every 30 minutes per the review snippet.
Metro hotels near me
The phrase “metro hotels” is shared by separately named properties. The sources reviewed cover several Metro-named hotels in Europe, Asia-Pacific and Africa, and no source confirms that they share ownership or standards. A search that starts with the name therefore needs the Dublin 9 address to confirm which property is meant.
Editor’s note: Matching by name alone can point to an unrelated hotel. Use the street address when checking distances.
Drive time to Dublin Airport
The listing snippet gives seven minutes by car. Trivago, in a separate listing, states that the dedicated airport transfer reaches Dublin Airport in about ten minutes. A transfer time and a car drive time are different measures, and the sources reviewed do not give a shuttle journey time.
Airport bus frequency
The review snippet gives a bus every 30 minutes. TripAdvisor describes a complimentary shuttle running daily from 4:00am until 11:45pm. The sources use “bus” and “shuttle” for what appears to be the same service, and the 30-minute interval has not been checked against an official timetable.
Dublin Airport hotels
The sources reviewed do not name competing airport hotels, so this section makes no ranking. The comparison that can be made is between the guest scores for this one property, which differ by platform: 8.6 from 5,874 reviews on Agoda, 9.0 from 1,211 reviews on Expedia, 8.4 from 9,549 ratings on Trivago, and 4.0 out of 5 from 812 reviews on TripAdvisor. For the difference between a hotel and a motel, see Hotel vs Motel: Safety, Terminology, and Cost Differences.
Caution: These platforms use different rating scales and review counts. A 9.0 on one site and an 8.4 on another are not a like-for-like ranking.
Booking-day rate variation
A search snippet may show a higher average nightly rate on Saturday than on Tuesday. The sources reviewed hold no verified rate figure for this property, so the size of the gap cannot be confirmed and no price band is stated.
Advantages and limits
Advantages
- 88 guest rooms, per Expedia Ireland.
- Apartments with full kitchens and washing machines, per Trivago.
- A 24-hour front desk and a fitness centre, per Agoda.
Limits
- Guest scores differ by platform, so no single score can be treated as definitive.
- The drive-time figures from the listing snippet and Trivago do not match.
- The day-of-week rate gap is unconfirmed, and the sources reviewed contain no cleanliness or noise data for this property.
Who this property suits
- Airport-bound travellers: the drive-time figures and the shuttle hours of 4:00am to 11:45pm are the most relevant details.
- Motorists using the M50: the listing snippet gives one minute of access to the motorway.
- Visitors looking for on-site dining: Agoda lists a restaurant; the next section covers what is known about it.
Tip: Compare the transfer time with the shuttle timetable before booking a late arrival.
Metro Hotel Dublin restaurant
Agoda lists a restaurant among the property’s facilities. The sources reviewed give no name for it, and no opening hours or menu details are available.
What is confirmed about on-site dining
The only confirmed dining fact is the restaurant entry in the Agoda listing. Its name, hours and menu should be checked on the property’s own channels before a visit is planned around it.
What this means: A reader who needs on-site food should confirm the restaurant, its hours and its menu directly, because none of those details are in the sources reviewed.
Metro Hotel eircode and postal address
The postal address in the listing snippet is Santry Cross, Ballymun Road, Dublin 9, Ireland. The sources reviewed do not contain an Eircode, a phone number or an email address for the property, so none is stated here.
For background on how hotel brands are owned and rated, see Radisson Hotels: Ownership, Ratings, and Comparisons.
Tip: Enter the full address, including Dublin 9, when searching maps, so the result matches this property rather than another Metro-named hotel.
The bottom line: The address is the most reliable identifier for this property, and the Eircode and contact details should be taken from the property’s own listing before use.
