Top Grand Canal Square Hotel Reviews

The Gibson Hotel Dublin City

8/10 Good

"all good"

Hotel Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin

8/10 Good

"We had a great stay at the gresham, there was one slight issue with our Aircon which was sorted out really quickly by a member of staff. The room itself was good, it had a very large comfortable bed with great pillows not too hard not too soft but just right and we had a very comfortable night sleep. The only thing that let the stay down ever so slightly is the coffee at breakfast was awful, I'm not sure how the machine is confirgured but the beans were absolutly burnt and the coffee was really really bitter. Apart from that everything was delivered as expected"

Travelodge PLUS Dublin City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"This small room had everything needed for a one night stay after arriving in Dublin. It would likely be comfortable for a few nights if most of your time was out of the room, only because the room is a little tight for space. The bedding and towels were fantastic. There were bedside outlets, a hairdryer, large tv, closet, and a full length mirror. The hotel stored our luggage after we checked out. The location is ideal for exploring the Dublin attractions. The Dublin airport bus drops off a block from the hotel."

Marlin Hotel Stephens Green

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was easy. We were early so our room was not ready but it was easy to check our bags. Good location, close to Grafton Street, St. Stephen’s Green, Temple Bar, and Trinity College. Rooms were clean and modern. We also enjoyed the fact that you could get a quick beverage or snack in the lobby. All in all very good, would definitely stay here again."
