Everything was just nice very clean and great Service. Not a great view from lvl 4 but ok all the same. Right in the centre of town easy to walk anywhere. Gym and salon services available. Staff very friendly and helpful. No complaints from me really. I had a twin share room with my dad, which included a single bed... More

My husband and I stayed in this hotel over the weekend of the 2013 Heineken Cup Final and had a great stay. The hotel is in a great location just off O'Connell Street, so very handy for the city centre pubs and restaurants. The room was nice, perhaps a little small but we were only there for 2 nights and... More

This hotel was in a very prime spot in the centre. When we arrived we had to find the car park which is down the road and the public car park. the queue to check in was so big and when we finally got to the front we had to come back in a hour to collect keys which was... More

Stayed at the Academy plaza for 3 nights over bank holiday weekend and would definitely return. Nicely positioned at the top of O'Connell street opposite the first stop for the hop on hop off bus. Very clean and comfortable hotel and the staff were excellent.

I travel a lot with business and stay in a lot of different hotels (150 days a year or so), so I'm not blowing smoke. The location is walking distance to the hot spots, so if you don't mind walking a bit, you don't need to take taxis. You can even take a bus to the airport and catch it... More

I booked a 3 nights deal on their website , on arrival at the hotel, my booking was not in their system. Apparently this is quite common as it is a 3rd party that actually does the booking. I had asked for a quiet room, and was right at the back on the 3rd floor. Unfortunately the doors banged all... More

We had two stays in Dublin this trip and liked this hotel better than the first. The location was more in the center of things. Rooms were clean. Our rooms were very small. There is both a tub and a shower. TV and WiFi are adequate. This is a good hotel but not great. Our breakfast was included in the... More

We recently returned from our first trip to Dublin and this hotel has a fantastic location just in a side street off O'Connell street. The green open top bus tours also leave right opposite the hotel and you can collect the airlink bus to the airport from outside also. The reception staff were helpful and polite issuing maps etc. and... More

We stayed here for 3 nights for a city break. The location is perfect. You can reach the city centre within a few minutes walk. The hotel itself is nice. Rooms are not really big but convenient. The beds were too soft for us and the Pay TV did not work and they were not able to fix it but... More

The hotel is in a good location just off O'Carroll street. The airport link bus stops right outside as do the Hop on-hop off buses, so very convenient. We had booked and prepaid for 4 nights in a standard room, but on check in we were offered an upgrade for a few euros a night more, which we accepted. (about... More
