Stayed here last year and had no hesitation booking for a return visit.Location excellent for all Dublin has to offer. Airlink bus stops right outside as does hop on hop off tour bus. Had no problems with noise,rooms very well catered for ,with tea/coffee making ,hair dryer,iron and ironing board.Beds very comfortable and shower room spacious and clean.Internet available in each room if required.Staff very welcoming and helpful. Secure luggage room so you can make the most of your last day without hauling cases everywhere.Will stay here every time I go to Dublin. Breakfast a bit expensive although it is a help yourself buffet.Go to Murrays bar just round corner on O'Connell Street.Huge breakfast 7 Euros.

Great location for a stay in Dublin. Close to many city attractions and transportation options. Hotel was nice, and the rooms were clean and modern (although small, but that's Europe for you). Price was a little above average, but worth it. Also, the airlink bus to the airport stops right in front of the hotel. Free wi-fi as well. Room was a bit small. Breakfast was pricey. Wi-fi did not work in the room, had to sit in the lobby to get a signal.

Despite reserving a twin and requesting that it be held for late arrival, the room we received was apparently the last double left in the hotel. Barely big enough for one person with a terrible bathroom and awful furnishings. The second night was much better ... we received a triple, apparently as compensation for screwing up the first night. That room was spacious, well-appointed and very comfortable. Both rooms were very clean. I apparently left two power plug converters in a previous hotel, and the Academy Plaza provided two for a 5-euro deposit. They also reduced the rate a bit to make up for the first night's room mishap. All in all a decent hotel, if they would just honor requests.

The hop on hop off bus tours as well as the air link bus to the airport both had stops right outside the hotel. Shopping and pubs, including good Irish foods were within close proximity. Variety of foods...authentic local as well has fast American foods were right down the street. All rooms had private bathrooms. Toiletries were not provided. No wash cloths or bar soap, although a shampoo/body wash dispenser was available.

Location. Like the idea of not being able to use the lift without room pass, this made us feel safe (two ladies travelling together) Room 401 view from window, made the room very dark when unable to see daylight. However, was grateful to be near the lift with my elderly mother. On question 1 I have indicated I travelled with a friend, in fact it was my mother, there is no 'drop down' selection for travelling with relative.

15 minutes on foot from Temple Bar so it's hardly far from the centre; however there are nearer hotels if this is a priority. The room was a decent size with free wifi, aircon, a desk, loads of wardrobe space and about 20 tv channels. The bathroom was small but clean and had plenty of towels. The hotel is right next to a great sports bar which has about 15 tv screens and the hotel bar is very good too. The hotel restaurant isn't bad and reasonably priced. The cleaning personnel are very good and I found the place to be spotless. There wasn't a fridge/minibar but there is a vending machine downstairs. There are a number of takeaways, pubs, restaurants and supermarkets nearby and the non-touristy shopping area is a 5-minute walk away (go down to the Spire and turn right). Taxis to and from the airport cost just under €30 and a taxi from the centre to the hotel costs about €7-8. The extractor fan in the bathroom didn't work and - this is nitpicking :-) - they really need to sort out the soap dispensers in the rooms, which are next to useless.

Good City Centre location 10 minutes walk down O'Connell street from Temple Bar. Breakfast Buffet very good. Reception Staff outstanding. Room was comfortable but a little small for 2 persons. Breakfast Buffet very good but a bit like a production line with large numbers of people staying in the hotel. If you want something more personal then go somewhere else.
