Full review

i stayed at the grafton in december with my fiancee for his birthday. I read the other review and realised that maybe it was so busy and noisy forthem because of it being st. patricks day as when we went the nightclub was pretty empty every night!!!

We stayed for two nights and we paid £220 including flights with ryanair too, through a tour operator.

we stayed in a double room and we thought the room was of good size if not a little dark and it had the usual tea/coffee facilities and tv.
i agree with the other reviever about the hairdryers as they are difficult to use and not the most powerful but it saves you some room in your suitcase!!

we also had breakfast included and we both thought it was really nice with a good selection of hot foods and cereals etc. It wasn't very busy in the mornings but we were up quite early both days so maybe thats why!

lovely little hotel that is tucked away into a small side street but location wise is great!! The hotels own nightclub is free to get into if you are a hotel guest and it has pool tables and a dance floor. The breakfast room is actually the upstairs area of the club. Hence the name grafton street for all your shops is round the corner and there is the theatre also round the corner. There is also a brilliant chinese restauarnt next to the theatre that does a fab early bird theatre menu and we even went back when we went back thi march just gone with our friends and they all loved it too! If i can remember the name of it i will write a review on that too!
From the hotel it is only about 5-10 mins to get to the temple bar area and it's a pleasant walk anyway as loads mre little boutique shops and cafes around to wander in.

When we checked out we weren't due to fly forquite a while so the reception allowed us to leave our suitcases with them and collect later and the staff were always very pleasant too!

Overall a great hotel and i would definately stay again as the rates were very good also!
