The property is in a nice location, a good 25 minute walk into the central area but there are a number of bars/pubs/restaurants and spa close by. The hotel is nicely decorated. The room looked to have been recently renovated but the bathroom is is need of a re-vamp. The shower is good but more what you would expect from a budget bathroom. The shower also leaks into the bedroom and onto the carpet giving the room a damp smell. Tea and coffee facilities provided in the room. Beds comfy. Overall pretty good but just needs a little more work. Would stay again.
The Grand Canal Hotel was a nice place to stay. The pub has good food as well as the Express Cafe in the Lobby. The only issue we had was the cleaning products that were used in our room were so full of synthetic fragrance that they caused issues for us.
I had a great stay at the Grand Canal Hotel in Dublin. The room and amenities were excellent.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the room was cleaned like the first day every evening where I returned.
The Elvis burger at the Gasworks was amazing. Bring an appetite
Grand Canal Hotel Dublin saved us! Our flight was cancelled and we were stranded - they took care of our last minute booking with professionalism and kindness. The rooms are clean, the area is very safe, breakfast was decent. There is an onsite coffee bar and the attached pub served great food and drinks.
If you're hungry late at night you can grab some food at Canal Express, plus Gasworks bar adjoins the hotel. If you're attending an event at Aviva Stadium it's an easy walk. A 4pm checkin seems rather late but other than that we really enjoyed this property.
