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 ...

Review of McEniff Grand Canal Hotel, Dublin

The Westin, best hotel to date!

Advantages: Location, service, food, bars...the list goes on!
Disadvantages: It is expensive, but you get what you pay for.

...off very close to The Westin just outside Trinity College) and you also get free entry into the majority of Dublin’s attractions, I would thoroughly recommend this. When we arrived at our stop the bus driver then directed everyone towards where they were staying, when we said ‘The Westin’ the bus driver looked impressed saying something along the lines of ‘best hotel around that is’….a taste of what was to come! Check-in So as we approached the ...
...(if you look on The Westin website you can see pictures of The Atrium and can see that the wall is lined with windows). The Room We were very impressed with the room in which we stayed in, it wasn’t a huge room but was in no way inadequate and was very tastefully decorated. As we walked in there was a cupboard to our left (containing dressing gowns, a free to use safe, drawers and coat hangers with plenty of space for all our clothes and our empty ...

Review of Westin Hotel, Dublin

Handy For Sunday Services (Or Temple Bar!)

Advantages: Very centrally located, good standard 3-star hotel with reasonable prices
Disadvantages: A bit noisy if you get a front facing room

This Jury's Inn, one of three in Dublin city, is ideally located for accessing the city centre, as are all Jury's Dublin Inns) It's situated in Christchurch Place, about 5 minutes walk from the drinking dens of Temple Bar (heh, heh) and Grafton Street (the main shopping area) and College Green. (Trinity College and the Central Bank) Dublin Castle is about one minute's walk and the Guinness Hop Store, the single most visited tourist attraction in ...
...walk away. It's also directly opposite Christchurch Cathedral, and just around the corner from St. Patrick's Cathedral. So you're ideally located whatever your preference; a night on the tiles, followed by a Sunday service the following morning to confess your sins of the night before. Mind you, both the city's main Cathedrals are of the Protestant persuasion, so probably don't go in for confession. (But that's another story!) This hotel is another ...

Review of Jurys Inn Christchurch, Dublin

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. ...

Review of Best Western Ashling Hotel, Dublin

An old converted castle with a cleaning problem

Advantages: Location, decor, comforable rooms, good bus service close by
Disadvantages: Badly cleaned rooms & a constant problem

...booked us in at the Clontarf Hotel, an old castle that had been converted to a hotel. It's situated away form the city centre in a rather nice suburb of Dublin close to the waterside. If you haven't got a car with you, you'll need to rely on public transport or taxis. There is a fairly reliable bus service close by & it was keenly priced. The cost was approx £53.00 per night (depending on exchange rate) for a four night stay, one night only can be ...
...an impressive lobby, who ever converted it, did a tasteful & professional job. We were quickly checked in & found our rooms comfortable & quite well equipped. It was a hot August weekend & the room had no air conditioning, but of more concern was our dirty bath. We had the remains of the previous person's 'tide mark' left in the bath!! We reported it to the staff & it was quickly cleaned up. Food at the hotel bar was served on the weekday afternoon ...
