Front desk staff all were very helpful and courteous.\

Donald United States of America

Wonderful location. Reservation staff was exceptional in meeting our needs. Breakfast was a treat and sustained us for touring Dublin every day.

Carol United States of America

The room is spacious and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was really good.

Jay United States of America

Checked in by Dimitri (from Ukraine). Professional young man. Set the right tone for our short stay. Appreciated being allocated a front facing room on 5th Floor as had requested a quiet room away from lifts, banging doors, restaurant, and bars. Excellent choice from hot/cold buffet. Waiting staff were pleasant and efficient. Homely feel. Not too busy and impersonal as are other city hotels we've stayed in. Loved being near the canal for short walks. Ideally located for National Concert Hall, St Stephens Green, and Museums. Will stay again and have no hesitation recommending the Grand Canal Hotel.

Peter Ireland

The location is central. The rooms are clean and the staff is helpful. Having a coffee shop on site is an added bonus.

Catherine Canada

Great hotel in a lovely part of Dublin. I was lucky to grow up 5 mins walk from there. The room was refreshed perfectly every day. I enjoyed lunch, a couple of dinners at the hotel. The food was great. I really enjoyed my morning cappuccino and croissant served up by the friendly cafe staff. A positive experience all around.

Jacqueline United States of America

Wonderful breakfast. Could use a little more fruit options.

Melissa Norway

I liked the attached pub, coffee house and the staff was very nice. I appreciated the fact that the room was ready early.

Thomas United States of America

This was our last night and we just needed somewhere not too far from the airport. Grand Canal met all of our expectations, very clean with welcoming staff. We didn't get the chance to take advantage of the facilities (workout room/breakfast), but everything we saw was nice and well-kept. The really appealing aspect of this hotel was the location. Temple Bar, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and Trinity College were all within a 30min walk.
