Grand Canal Hotel - Dublin 53.33836, -6.23792

Our room was lovely and surprising large for Europe. The bed was great, very comfortable. The bathroom was lovely, tub shower combination. iHome in the room was a lovely addition. The only downside was our heater never really heated the room. It was literally freezing outside, even snowed, while we were there (around New Years) and the room was very cold the entire time. Overall, great room especially for the price.

we could not complain at all the hotel its close to center right on bus route 4 5 7 and night busses very clean good bar although dublin is very expencive!

A nice, comfortable hotel with a hospitable staff. It is a little far from the city center, though it is close to sights on Dublin's Southside and is close to the DART (rail) station.

A good hotel, clean, secure with handy safe public bar attached. Could have done with reading light at both bed heads. It is 30min walk to the city centre, 15mins only gets you to the edge. The nearby DART train system is a very short walk & will take you much nearer the centre cheaply, or along the coast north or south of Dublin Bay. Close to National Rugby Stadium, watch out for major games, when the area will be busy & noisy no doubt.

Quiet and out of the way but within easy reach of the centre either 20 minute walk (to O'Connell Bridge), free bus ride with Freedom ticket from stop approx.2-300 yards away or even a taxi was not expensive (early hours one morning) because of the short distance . Very pleasant reception area and extremely efficient book in/out process. Standard hotel room but very clean & tidy and with drink making facilities. Very nice bar area and food looked good and was reasonably priced although we ate out. Also very nice cafe which we used for Friday lunch on arrival but unfortunately it shut early afternoon and wasn't open at all at weekends.

This hotel is very convenient to the city centre either by foot or the DART. The staff were all very plesant and willing to help. The room was very spacious and comfortable. For the price we paid, we were very impressed by the standard of the hotel. There is also very secure off road parking at the hotel.

Nice location, bus routes very accessible,courteous staff, reasonably priced,would recommend.

depends on what you want. The neighborhood was quiet and very convenient to DART and bus services (although you generally wait for a bus). It's a new "business man's" hotel that seems to cater to tours and people who need to have meetings, etc. They have a very nice pub and good fish and chips. The neighborhood is does not have a lot of restaurants, pubs or grocery stores, but we found a great neighborhood restaurant and a pub that really satisfied our needs. Being 2 blocks from the DART meant that we could get out-of-town easily and see the countryside and a castle.

Overall, a more than adequate hotel. The room is clean, tidy and comfortable. Tea and coffee making facilities, Steam Iron and Ironing Board, Free Wi-Fi and complimentary bath robes just a few of its plus points. Located app 20 mins walk from the city centre Grand Canal hotel is easily accessible for any type of visitor. The DART station (train) is just across the road and the docks are also very close though you wouldn’t know it. The staff were friendly and helpful including those working in the attached ‘GASWORKS’ bar/restaurant. I can definitely say I have stayed in worse places eg Travelodge, premier inn etc. If I were to visit Dublin again I would certainly consider this hotel.

The hotel room was clean and large. The hotel staff was very helpful and professional allowing us to check in early upon arrival and scheduled a wake-up call and a taxi to take us to the airport upon departure. The hotel is located a few blocks east of Temple Bar, with Trinity College in between. We took taxis at night to return as it was a bit of a walk, but the area seemed generally safe. Definitely a good experience.

Basic modern hotel to South-East of city centre. Very convenient for the Aircoach from the airport--(explicit instructions on hotel's website, including map). Short walk to city centre, as stated, though probably wouldn't want to do this in the dark, so something to consider if you are planning to savour the city centre nightlife. Very convenient for the D.A.R.T., as the station is just across the road, so trips up and down the coast possible very easily and cheaply.. the hotel bar had a nice atmosphere, helpful staff and the food was good and reasonably priced. There are a few cafes nearby for breakfast if you prefer to get out, and large Spar within about 200m for basics. Our only negative comment would be that if you get a room at the front of the hotel, as we did, the road noise can be annoying.

Arrived at the hotel to find we had been given a twin room, asked if they had a double and they upgraded us to a double exec room. The room was very clean - not the most inspiring view, but the amenities made up for that. We were pleased to find that the hotel was only 15 mins walk from Grafton Street and the centre, and also recommend the Canal Cafe for breakfast - which is about 300 yards along the road from the hotel on the way into town (if like us you got room only). Would recommend the hotel - the staff were friendly and helpful - we had a room service meal and it was very nice, and the room was serviced every day.

I thought that this hotel was more than adequate for what we paid to stay there. We visited a few other hotels that were higher priced, but fell short of this one. I would recommend this hotel to friends.

Very good, comfortable hotel. Location may not be perfect for everyone - about 20 minutes walk to Trinity College for example, 30 minutes to Temple Bar. Easy access from Airport on Air Coach ( 8 Euro).

My husband and I have just returned from a two night stay at the Grand Canal and everything about the hotel was superb. The staff were very attentive and the hotel room was comfortable and everything we required. The hotel is situated 15-20 min. walk from the main shopping area of Dublin and there is also a local bus service a five minute walk from the hotel which offers a frequent service to and from the centre. The local area around the hotel also has pubs and restaurants to offer. A super hotel, excellent staff, lovely location.

Lovely friendly staff, very helpful. Very clean hotel, only a 10 minute pleasant walk from city centre. Large bar and eating area to the left, again very clean. The menu looked good although we didn't eat there. Would definately recommend, great value, we will sure be staying there again!

I really enjoyed my stay at the Grand Canal Hotel in Dublin. The service was excellent by all staff members. The Gasworks Bar is a great place to chill out, and we were even offered sandwiches for lunch, while they werent serving food. The room was very comfortable and quite spacious and the bathroom was excellent and very clean. There is a delicious thai restaurant near O'Connell street called Thai Orchid that you must check out!

We thought that we would be able to walk to the temple bar and st. stephens districts from our hotel with a 15 minute walk, however, that was not the case so we ended up taking cabs everywhere. We had also reserved a twin double room (a room with two twin beds) and they didn't have one available, only a double bed.

our only problem was check in time is 2:00 pm. Our flight arrived at 5:30 am. I did request early check in which I know is not guarenteed but when we arrived they said they had 2 rooms available immediately, when we got to the rooms they were both smoking rooms(we had requested non-smoking) so we had to store our luggage and wait until 11:00 am for available rooms. This is very hard when you have traveled all night and just want to get settled, shower and sleep. other than that i loved this hotel and their staff!!

Central Dublin location--easy parking access in hotel lot. Very comfortable and great staff. Just a few dining options located close by in additional to hotel restaurant.

This hotel is adequate but not outstanding. The location is a bit inconvenient, located about a mile east of Dublin's main attractions - walkable for New Yorkers, but with traffic so congested it's less convenient for others. It covers the basics, but isn't outstanding, especially compared with a different Dublin property we stayed at later in our trip (the Quality Hotel Leisure Centre) for only about 15 euro/night more.

Clean and modern but lacking in personality or charm. Good location. No room safe. Buffet breakfast is way overpriced but nothing else is open on Sunday morning so buy some croussants the night before if you're on a budget.

The Grand Hotel is a little out of the centre of Dublin if you are not fit. However we did enjoy the walk every morning down to the Harbour for breakfast as we thouht we had booked B & B and was not advised on check in that we had not. It would have been nice to be greeted by some Irish staff! If we had wanted to travel to Eastern Europe we would have done so!

My husband and I stayed here for 3 days on a short break. We arrived very early, and the staff on reception were very welcoming and we were able to book in straight away. The room was large, very comfortable and well equipped. The only downside was the walk into Dublin which took us nearly half an hour - the hotel suggests it is 15 minutes away from the city centre but this must be for very brisk walkers. You could get a taxi but if cost is an issue (it was for us) you will need to be prepared to walk.

This is a great hotel. Very well priced. Nice reception area and rooms. Spotlessly clean. Corridors well maintained. Nice friendly reception staff who are always willing to help. About 15 mins walk from city centre through lovely area. Bus stop very close by and takes about 5 mins to get into city centre. Buses are every 10 mins. Train station just across the road. Trains very frequent too. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone.

I was very pleased with this hotel. You are a short walk to city centre, about 15 min. You have multiple options for the walk, either along the Liffy, or past the Georgian squares. Hotel was very clean and new,

The hotel doesn't really have any character. The pub on the groundfloor was the only option for food in the hotel (except for room service) but it was far too busy and loud for me, especially as I like to read at dinner (business travel on my own). Clean enough and very close to the DART were the good points.

The free parking is fantastic for such a centrally located hotel. Very pleasant staff but having to fill out my details on the registration form seems a bit odd. I was given a free upgrade to the executive floor which included a sizable balcony. The room was comfortable with all the expected facilities (safe, iron, tea/coffee making, etc.). I will stay there again.

Whilst this hotel is about a mile from the centre of Dublin this wasn't a problem as the Dart is very nearby & there's a frequent bus service nearby. Also there's plenty to do near to the hotel with an excellent Filipino restaurant & the choice of 4 pubs in Ballsbridge - including the best & cheapest pint of Guinness in Dublin at Beggars Bush (Jack Ryans) on nearby Haddington Road. Hotel seemed very new, but was fairly comfortable & quiet.

Sehr verkehrsgünstig, Pub nebenan, schöne Zimmer, Frühstück gut, Service gut

Schöne, modern eingerichtete und geräumige Zimmer für einen wirklich fairen Preis. Frühstück wahlweise kontinental (+9,50 EUR) oder volles irisches Frühstück (+11,95 EUR) mit sehr guter Auswahl. Wenige Schritte zur nächsten S-Bahn-Station (zwei Halte bis zur Innenstadt) bzw. 20 min. zu Fuß.

Bodde här en helg, tre nätter från fredag till måndag. Jättemysigt hotell i Dublin. Hottelet ligger en bit ifrån själva citykärnan i Dublin men det är i stort sett raka vägen dit och det tar bara 10 minuter att gå dit. På vägen går man förbi mysiga, vakra townhouses och en alldeles underbar park (Bishop Ryan Park vid Merrion square). Det gjorde att det var nästan perfekt läge eftersom man då slapp allt larmet i centrum och faktiskt kunde sova med öppet fönster. Det finns också en jättemysig pub (The Gasworks) i anslutning till hotellet. Läget var perfekt för att bussen från flygplatsen (Aircoachen) stannar ca 100 meter från hotellet, utanför SchoolHouse Hotel. Det tar ca 40 minuter från flygplatsen och en timme dit och man hoppar på på samma ställe. Hotellrummet vi bodde i var stort, ljust och luftigt. Mycket rent och prydligt, speciellt badrummet. Även det var stort och fräscht. Det enda som jag egentligen ser som negativ med hotellet var frukosten. Den ingick inte i priset (även om möjligheten verkade finnas) och den var lite åt det dyrare hållet. Men det var också det enda negativa som jag kände så det är ju här hotellet och egentligen inget som drar ner betyget. Så summa summarum så rekommenderar jag verkligen det här hotellet och jag kommer definitivt snart återvända till Dublin, och då kommer jag att bo på detta hotellet.

Prima hotel met nette ruime kamers. Op een kwaretiertje lopen van het centrum maar een DART-station is aan de overkant van de straat zodat je ook dit treintje kunt nemen. Als je zoals ik ook tijdens het weekend verblijft is het helemaal een perfecte locatie want dan heb je toch een rustige nacht (anders dan in het uitgaansgebied). Vanaf het vliegveld met de aircoach bus eenvoudig te bereiken, een halte ligt 150 meter van het hotel. Vriendelijk en hulpvaardig personeel. Buffetontbijt bied volop keuze. Pub naast het hotel is via de lobby te bereiken. Het eten daar is goed en voor hotelgasten blijven ze langer open (via die lobby). Rekening voor deze uurtjes gaat op de hotelkamer. Volgende keer zal ik zeker weer hier boeken en kan het dus iedereen aanraden.

LA STRUTTURA E' PERFETTA PER IL SERVIZIO, GLI ACCESSORI PRESENTI IN CAMERA (PERFINO LA CASSA PER I POD), WIRELESS, INTERNET POINT COMUNE IN CASO NON SI DISPONESSE DI PROPRIO PC, POSIZIONE MOLTO COMODO AD 1 MINUTO DAL TRENO EQUIVALENTE AD UNA COMUNE METROPOLITANA... MA PIU' PULITO! LO CONSIGLIO SENZA INDUGIO.

Facile à trouver si peu que l'on se renseigne avant ... endroit calme et agréable. Restaurant sympathique. Nous avons eu droit à une chambre de catégorie supérieure sans supplément de prix ce qui est fort agréable... Bémol, personne ne parle le Français.. à nous de mettre à Anglais mais pour le discours hotelier cela ne pose pas trop de difficultés... Un petit déjeuner se composant uniquement d'un grand mug de café est "facturé" seulement deux euros .. dans un cadre très agréable, servi par du personnel fort sympathique.. L'irlandais est soucieux de votre bien-être, ça change :-)

hotellbetjeningen var meget hyggelig og rommene var helt greie for noen dager på storbyferie. Rent og pent, men noe slitt.

Excellent rapport qualité/ prix. Chambre confortable et sanitaires propres. Le pub (le Gaswork) qui jouxte l'hôtel est très agréable. Très bon accueil

Hôtel refait à neuf , chambres très propres avec une bonne literie. Personnel aimable et souriant. Assez proche du centre de Dublin où on peut se rendre à pied sans problème.

Siamo stati benissimo. La camera era molto confortevole e ben arredata. E poi abbiamo gradito tutti gli extra: stereo per ascoltare la musica, cioccolatini sul cuscino, ferro da stiro, set per te e caffè, accappatoi. Staff molto gentile e disponibile.

Das Grand Canal Hotel in Dublin ist uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen. Es ist sauber, hell mit feundlichem Service. Für den schmalen Geldbeutel super geeignet. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Hotel war es sehr preisgünstig. Gefühlt ist das Hotel allerdings etwas weiter weg vom Stadtzentrum als der angegebene Kilometer und die Anbindung mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln ausbaufäig. Ans Hotel ist auch ein sehr schöner Pub gebaut: "The Gasworks." Schickes Ambiente und kühles Guinnes. Wir würden jedezeit dort wieder Buchen.

sono stato tre notti nel Grand canal hotel e devo ammettere che sono stato molto bene. Innanzitutto è molto più centrale di quello che pensavo, infatti il centro di dublino è veramente piccolo e concentrato e lo si raggiunge con una comoda camminata di 10-15 minuti (si arriva al Trinity college). Camere e struttura sono assolutamente buone e anche il personale molto gentile. Lo consiglio vivamente.

Great service. Nice staff. Very clean. Good experience for a small price.

fräsch hotell vid första anblicken inga större fel men inget jättebra heller. väldigt kallt i rummen och brist på varmvatten vissa stunder. trevlig o hjälpsam personal i receptionen. hotellet har bra säkerhetsrutiner och känns tryggt och ligger i ett lugnt område. dåliga städtider (kl. 9 på morgonen)

goede ligging; gemakkelijk te voet te bereiken van/naar het centrum; station of steenworpafstand; heerlijk rustig; prima service en schoon!

dejligt hotel, men måske en smule for langt væk fra centrum
