"close to sights/shopping"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
We loved it - great location, staff and breakfast. Lovely, large second floor room.
"Nice Place"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
The Hotel was clean and comfortable. Wi-Fi was free in the lobby. It was a short walk from where the airport bus dropped us off and shopping/restaurants. Most of the tourist spots are a bit farther, but still very walkable.
"Good Value"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
The Ardmore is a clean, modern hotel that has power showers and staff that are friendly. The food served is well prepared and affordable. For the money it can't be beat, but if you want nice pillows, soft towels& cozy bedding then you should spend the extra money to get them. Those of us who prefer value over the little "extras" would love this hotel. The 15 minute bus ride into downtown wasn't bad unless you JUST missed the bus and have to wait another twenty minutes to get on. It is a great location for a first night into Dublin or your last because it is only 15 minutes to the airport!

"Grafton Captiol Hotel- close to all things in Dubl"
The staff was courteous and knowledgible about all the sights in Dublin. Rooms were clean and cleaned every day. The location was excellent for sightseeing. The only problem was finding the hotel. Streets in Dublin are winding and change names at every corner. Overall it was a great place to stay.
Enjoyed my stay,good location, helpful staff
"Grafton Capital Hotel - great location in Dublin!"
Stayed 2 nights at the Grafton. Great central location - nice hotel bar with good bar eats. Friendly and helpful hotel staff. Walking distance to Grafton Street shopping. Saw Riverdance at the Gaiety Theater one night. Lots of restaurants - walking distance 2-3 blocks. **** star sbk - New York.
"Excellent location and service"
Fantastic location. Near St. Stephen's Green. Walking distance to Temple Bar and especially Grafton Street. Lots of nice restaurants and shops nearby. Just far enough away from hustle & bustle to be quiet. Can get loud in weekends with attached restaurant/nightclub is active.
"GREAT LOCATION!!!"
I really liked this hotel, it was in a great location. Great shopping and cafes all within a 5 minute walk. The only downside that I would say is that there is no AC in the rooms, the windows do open but the outside noise can be a bit loud in the morning. Even with that one negative I'd still stay on any future trips to Dublin.

"No sleep: Weekend disco"
Weekend disco means no sleep before 3 a.m. My room was about as far from the disco as you could get and even wearing noise cancelling headphones, sleep was nearly impossible. They did not have any wfi or other internet access for the four nights I stayed. When they do have it, it is only in a residents lounge, not in your room. My sink was plugged […] and didn’t drain, but it is a great location. If you don’t plan to sleep before 3 a.m. and don’t need the internet, it’s fine. The staff was very obliging. They allowed me to use a computer for my email and were all very professional and helpful. Read more

"not to bad"
we were not told that breakfast was not included until we checked out. compared to the other hotels we stayed in this was a 4 star hotel. though at the time we didn't know how good this hotel was. staying at a HI Youth Hostel would have been just as good with more amenities.

"excellent value"
I stay in Dublin at least 4 times a year can't believe just found this hotel! very central staff excellent rooms a bit old in style but for concerts etc perfect
"Very noisy room"
There was a nightclub below our room, we went over to see a concert and not to go clubbing, so didnt get much sleep, would not stay there again
"Clean and comfortable in a good location"
The hotel is clean, comfortable (a bit outdated maybe, but has all the essentials) and in a good location. This hotel is at the top of South William St which has a great selection of restaurants, cafes and pubs. You are within walking distance of Stephen's green, the Gaiety Theater and Grafton St. The pub/nightclub 'Break for the Boarder' is next door, […] but I had no issues with noise levels etc. Overall, a nice hotel in a great location, very reasonably priced.

"Nice 3-star, great location"
We rented two rooms for 4 brothers and we were very pleased overall. Couple things though: 1) Wireless internet is only available in a small area near the breakfast room, and even then it's sketchy at best - no internet (LAN or otherwise) in the room, 2) Don't dream of parking anywhere near. Otherwise fantabulous, truly excellent location.
"Grafton Capitol- convenient and reasonable"
We stayed for 2 nights and though the hotel is older (vintage, but I like that) it was a short or medium walk away from a lot of Dublin's best sights. And just a bus ride away from the rest. Really liked it!
"grafton capitol--always a pleasure"
Wonderful hotel in great location, this is our 6 or 7 stay. Definiitely my first choice in Dublin. Only complaint is the shower (great shower btw) water ran hot and suddenly cold and kettle and hairdryer need updating. I would really like breakfast to be included too. It is good will and you wouldn't lose money on it
"Great location, poor breakfast"
Hotel is good value, great location. Room was quite good , large comfortable bed. Bathroom could do with overhaul and redecoration, old tired walls and fittings. Staff were helpful and pleasant. The main disappointment was with breakfast, it was cold and lacked variety. Was costly for quality, if staying here I would eat out in future.
"nice hotel near the city centre"
This is a nice quiet hotel near by the city centre. It´s an old hotel with good standard . The rooms are clean and the bathroom had an real bath not only an shower, It´s near to all big streets and you can walk easily to all nice places. There are nice resturants and pubs and small cafes in the neighborhood. The price of renting an room was good. It […] matches the standards of the hotel very well. I can recommend tis hotel. Im was satisfied. John Read more

"A great location"
In a great location with restaurants nearby. The Grafton is a nice hotel albeit the walls are somewhat thin, would definitely stay there again mid week but would avoid the weekend as you can still hear the night club even though we were on the 5th floor. Staff helpful and friendly
"The Grafton Capital Hotel in Dublin"
Bang slap in the centre of where it is all happening. Fantastic location, really friendly staff and got georgous room with jacuzzi bath - will definately be back.
"grafton capital - ideal temple bar location"
we stayed for two nights with friends to see a concert and also to spend time in dublin. staff were lovely, really friendly and helpful, breakfast was super with lots of choice, and you couldnt find a better location for temple bar and dublin. the room was lovely, we had a corner one with a great view of the streets. the bathroom was a little tired, […] but for the value for money and position we have no complaints, would def stay there again when we go back to dublin - which was also brilliant!!

"Grafton Capital Hotel Dublin"

"Great Hotel!"
If you dont need a hotel in the 5 star range, then I could recommend Grafton Captial Hotel. Me and a friend stayed here 4 nights and its location is very good! Its takes you about 2-3min to get to Grafton street, one of the main shopping streets, and the stevens green shopping center. The famous temple bar is 5-10min away depends on how fast you walk! […] Perfect distance when your out on the town! I will definitely stay here again:) Read more
"All the bells and whistles, but neglected basics"
The room had the essential kettle and hair dryer and also included an ironing board and a pant press, but the bathroom looked like the mold was about to jump out at you from behind the tiles and the toilet flushed only once out of every 10 tries. On the plus side the hotel was right in the middle of all the attractions in the city. Very convenient.
"Old-style elegance to be recommended."
A beautiful hotel that looks like all hotels should look. The room had everything you could need and even extended to the luxury of a big bath. I didn't take the breaksfast as a £9 I thought it was too expensive but I would recommend the place for it's classic classy style.

"Good hotel. No wifi in the room"
Nice place. I was told when I booked that they had wifi in the rooms which is not true. This really didn't work for me. I was on a work trip and had data to email after midnight. I ended up doing all my work on the lobby landing late at night. If internet connection is not an issue for you then this hotel is fine.
"Grafton Capital Hotel, Dublin"
We loved this hotel as it appealed in both character and in location. I much preferred it to the more expensive modern hotels available and even if I won the lottery I would still stay there! We only had breakfast there which was very good but next time we will have dinner there as it looked excellent. The only thing which was negative was the noise […] level on Saturday night due to high spirits on the streets nearby but otherwise we were very pleased with our choice of hotel. Read more
"Not Recommended"
Noisy room with window on to narrow side street, brightly-lit 24 hour office block just across. Choice: airless, pitch black room or listen to traffic passing all night. Had requested quiet room. Can't imagine the alternative. Many other hotels in area: shop around.
"Great location"
This hotel was in a fantastic location but parking was an issue. The room was a good size and was fairly clean.
Hotel was within walking distance of most places in Dublin that you would want to see. Tour buses could be caught within about a 5 min walk from hotel. Only downfall to the hotel was that we got what was called a "double bed" which was basically two beds put together. One of those beds was broken so it made for a very uncomfortable sleep. However if […] that bed was not broken i would have enjoyed my stay a bit more Read more
"Great location"
Very happy with rate and condition and position. Walking distance to everywhere, cool, quiet and great staff. Bit tricky getting Wifi but breakfast good.
"spotty conditiond"
some staff were stiff, unhelpful and not suited to serving as receptionist at front desk. more importantly, the tv channels available in the room were too limited. most importantly, the promised wifi did not exist, to any real degree!!!

"Grafton Capital Hotel dublin"
good hotel value for money only problem i had was the hotel bar shuts on a monday so you cant sit and have a drink
"No wifi, excellent location, noisy friday and sat"
Really not bad. Extremly googd location! But, at friday and saturday night is noisy. Bar in the same building.... Breakfast is NOT included and cost 10 EUR - priceless :-) Another bad surprise is that wifi is ONLY in 1. floor... You don't have a wifi in your room !!!!!! Enjoy it :-(
WAS CLOSE TO MOST PLACES, FELT SAFE EARLY EVENING ALTHOUGH ON MY OWN. SOME NOISE FROM THE STREET OVER THE WEEKEND BUT WHAT DO YOU EXPECT IN THE CENTRE OF DUBLIN.I HAVE STAYED THERE MULTIPLE TIMES AND WILL STAY AGAIN.
Convenient Location, Quiet during a 2 day midweek Stay. Just a little south of Temple Bar district but so close you could walk it in 5 mins, still had plenty of bars theatres and restaurants all around the hotel, a few mins from the Main Shopping streets too. The Airport Bus stops are within an easy 5 to 10 mins walking distance. The hotel room (403) […] was at back of hotel and was a large bright and quiet room. Read more
"stay slightly marred by unfriendly night porter"
i would have given this hotel top marks because of the price, room ,staff and cleanliness .The experience however was slightly spoiled by the porter on night duty who insisted we had a single room and had the cheek to tell my girlfriend (of 5 years) to leave .
"GRAFTON CAPITAL HOTEL- GREAT LOCATION, SHAME ABOUT"
Very accomodating hotel. Comfortable and very convenient to sights and nightlife. I had heard that the karaoke was going to be an issue but hearing is believing. It is quite noisy but I can sleep through most noise but singers murdering good songs is tough. All in all I still would stay here again as the positives outweigh the negatives and if I hadn't […] been running the Dublin marathon maybe I could have murdered a few tunes myself. If you can't beat 'em join 'em. Read more
"The Grafton Capital Hotel"
is within a minute of my favourite pub in Dublin....Peter's Pub. The Maloti Indian restaurant offers good value food and in the immediate vicinity as is Grafton St. Visit Bewleys for a post dinner coffee. Buskers provide free 'fab' entertainment. Thoroughly enjoyable short stay. Will be back. Look out for special room only rate.
Conveniently situated. Fine for price paid. Staff friendly and helpful
