Grand Canal Hotel Dublin

Advantages: Good restraunt, good location
Disadvantages: bathroom fan has no 'off' switch

First the advice. If you are going to use this hotel (a 3* hotel) the best way to get to it is using the air-coach which goes from Dublin airport every 20 min or so. The stop you want is the 'school house hotel' The grand canal hotel is then just a short walk away. The air coach is far cheaper than taking a taxi (could be as much as €30 cheaper) and it's quicker. One of the hotels big advantages (could be seen as a disadvantage by some). It is about ...
...area of the city, so this means it is fairly quiet at night. However this also means that it is quite a distance from the big tourist attractins such as the Guinnes store house and the Jameson distillery. The rooms are large, well decorated, double glazed, clean, are all on suite and as you would expect are serviced daily. The only problem with the room is that the extractor fan in the bathroom is on constantly and it can be quite loud. The rooms ...

In the footsteps of Joyce...apparently

Advantages: Reasonably priced in "standard", quieter location,
Disadvantages: Could have been cleaner, possible noise from DART

...through lastminute.com threw up the North Star Hotel, billed as a three star hotel and situated close to the city’s main coach station and opposite Connolly train station. We were able to secure a price of £107 for a standard double room for two nights which was a decent saving on the hotel website's full price of approximately £126 . I need to mention now that the hotel has several grades of accommodation and we chose the most basic. Next up the ...
...My first impression of the North Star was very favourable although I was secretly on the lookout for tell-tale signs that the hotel was “all fur coat and no knickers”. I had already made up my mind that the hotel must be like that London budget Hotel the “Regent Palace” which has a rather showy reception area but fades as soon as you get onto the staircases and plummets once you get into the rooms. The hotel is typically Irish in appearance, looking ...

The Ardmore Hotel, Dublin

Advantages: Bargain price.
Disadvantages: Slightly too far from town if you're interested in a long term stay.

...the terrible reviews for the Ardmore hotel i was really rather skeptical about staying there. I booked for two nights on the 8th july for me and my girlfriend and i was on edge throughout the whole journey because of the reviews that i had read. However, the journey from the airport was a rapid one and one that didn't break the bank! We were welcomed to the hotel with a smile, the only problem with checking in was that we had to wait until 12 to ...
...This was understandable though and couldn't be helped. Although the hotel is situated 2.5 miles from th city centre it really isnt that far. It is a pleasant walk through a few towns (if youve got the time that is) and we enjoyed it a lot. Alternatively you could catch the bus...this was an experience for us. I warn you that Irish buses require the exact fee for the journey (to the city centre it is €1.70 per person to the city centre). The bedroom ...

Well worth stay at Jurys Inn!

Advantages: The Location
Disadvantages: Lighting in room, view

...making we finally chose the Jurys Inn, Parnell Street. The reviews that we read were the best we had seen and there wasn't anything that could give you a major concern. It was also recommended to me by some work friends that had previously stayed there and I was assured that the rooms were nicely decorated and clean. The cost--> We went at the beginning of August during the week and we paid 122 euros per night, room only which was around £83 (there ...
...definitely not as good as Jurys Inn, Parnell Street. Ease of getting there--> Getting to the hotel from the airport was very easy, I would suggest the air-link bus, as I believe it's called. It costs 6 euros, we bought our ticket from a machine while queuing as we didn't know if they would accept notes and if they were able to change them as I had read the 'normal' everyday buses don't carry change and that if you need change the driver gives you ...

Best Western Hotel, Dublin.

Advantages: Close to tram stop and airport bus stop.
Disadvantages: Can get quite busy with people checking in & out.

...busy and checking in and out can take up a little time. There is the facility to leave luggage there if you arrive early and return later to check in. Its best point is its location. Right by the tram stop and so very close to Houston Station. ...
