What is the best way to travel from Europa Hotel Belfast to the Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport, the end of my 14 day Ireland tour in October. Thank you in advance for your help and/or experience.

Both the Dublin Express and the Aircoach buses depart on the street next to the Europa Hotel. Not sure about getting specifically to the Clayton, but I believe both companies make stops at the airport. Does the Clayton have an airport shuttle that you could get at the airport?

We took a Transalpine bus. Inexpensive and on time. One heads up is that most regional busses there do not have toilets. I survived but was stressed out about it.

I remember on our tour in 2019, since the bus stop for Dublin Express or Aircoach is right next to the Europa Hotel our guide asked when we arrived at the hotel how many needed to take the bus back to Dublin airport; and then told everyone what to do/when to meet. I'm not sure if advanced reservations were required, because we took the train back to Dublin city center instead; which I heard is possibly unavailable currently due to station or track construction.
You could take a taxi to your Dublin hotel from the airport.

That should read Translink!
All three companies call at Dublin Airport. But the Clayton is off site so you will need the hotel shuttle from the Airport to the Hotel.
From the hotel website-
Our 24-hour airport shuttle bus runs every 30-minutes to and from Dublin Airport Zone 16 near Terminals 1 & 2. The journey takes just 10-minutes and is complimentary for our guests.

Thank you to all of you for your help and suggestions, I greatly appreciate the advice as I am a single traveler and I value the help from other Rick Steves travelers. Fortunately the Clayton Hotel has complimentary airport shuttle, I was concerned with the Belfast to Dublin transport and you all addressed that for me!!
