Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was lovely and very clean. The staff were accommodating and friendly. We had a pretty comfortable stay here. The two downsides were the beds were really stiff and not that comfy, and it’s about a 30min walk to the main areas of Dublin which got a bit annoying even after only staying two nights.

Being a bit removed from the most touristy parts of Dublin suited me but still totally walkable within 20 or 30 minutes to where all the action is at Temple Bar and Trinity College. The restaurant and dining options at the hotel were excellent and the food delicious.

This was our second time staying at the Grand Canal. It was wonderful then, and it was wonderful again. Staff was super! Rooms were clean and had all the necessities needed for travel. We did stop at the bar and restaurant for drinks and some appetizers. Staff there was great also. Convenient to bus, or walking to sites. Definitely worthy when you are looking for a place in Dublin.
