Perfect place to stay if you are up in that area... transport is easy on the Tram line from the main railway station in Dublin city up to CityWest and there is a public bus from there to Rathcoole... or a taxi is inexpensive as Rathcoole is only 5 or so mins from the Tram stop... City West Hotel is an easy walk from the tram stop. There is a great hotel to eat in Rathcoole as well...very good food. Anne provides a continental breakfast to make life a whole lot easier in the morning.
