Opinions GRAND CANAL HOTEL Dublin

Great place for breakfast, and catching our tour from Driftwood. Not sure on the rooms though nice hotel

Very good hotel close to the Aviva Stadium. Food is very good in the Bar, great for meetings, snacks/coffee. Didn’t avail of the Rooms but used the hotel facilities including the car park

Lep i sređen hotel na odličnoj lokaciji, prostrane sobe, dosta sadržaja. Sve pohvale i preporuka!

We were visiting Bord Gais Theatre and it was ideal location , 12 minutes walk away .

Delighted with service and staff were super accommodating and friendly . My 9 year old gave it 5 stars ????

Superb breakfast

A good location if you want to be close enough to walk to the main thick of it and enough so you are out of the madness. Lovely buffet breakfast, comfortable rooms and was great that there was a bar right next to the hotel that you can get through the hotel.

Nice stay but breakfast should be included

Overpriced frozen burger. €19:50

Very good central Hotel fits to our Standards we need and we use to have on a Hotel stay. Good choice! Good room. Good isolated windows, bed hard but comfy. Good Bathroom with a nice showering area. Very big and good quality showering towels and towels. Toiletries all from Rituals, that is a good plus! Good café area to have some snacks, pie's, brownies, cake, and a meal of the day and a good soup of the day. We had today the potato leek soup with two slices of guinness bread which is delicious. Sylwia was very friendly and she made a very wonderful service. ???? Good food in the gasworks restaurant we also had the evening before. Easy and good stay at this hotel also for a longer stay. Breakfast & Buffet traditional irish with continental buffet breakfast for €17.50 p.P. Parking is also possible for overnight stay with 10€ a night. We stayed here to be near to the 3Arena for "the" concert of Simple Minds. We definetly will come again as the service is really good. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

Excellent service - hotel is a little dated but great value. Food is excellent

Amazing and friendly staff, clean rooms. We loved the later evening coffees and having a nightcap at GasWorks

Ottimo hotel in una zona residenziale e tranquilla di Dublino. Non è lontano dal centro ed è facilmente raggiungibile con i treni DART (fermata Grand Canal). Il personale è gentile. Le camere sono confortevoli. Ottima la colazione.

We arrived really early (10:00), which I figured I wouldn't be able to check in. Thsy initially told me check-in was at 16:00, but they did say that they would text me when my room would become available. I got tired from walking around and thought I'd try my luck at checking in at 14:30, and was told my room was ready. I never did receive that text, though.

The hotel shows itself as a 4 star, but I think 3 is more accurate. The lobby may look clean and upscale, but the rooms don't match.

The first thing I noticed when walking into the room was the temperature. The windows didn't seal completely, which caused a draft. And because the windows didn't seal completely, I could hear everything outside.

And speaking of hearing, the walls have no soundproofing. I had an adjoining door between my room and the room next to me, so I'm not sure if it was because of that or not, but I could hear everything next door.

The beds themselves were the major issue for me. I had a king size bed, but it should have just been 2 singles. The king sized bed was made by attaching 2 single beds, they were put beside eachover with a thin king size mattress topper. Wouldn't have been so bad except for the fact that I would fall in the seam of the 2 single beds. It was not a comfortable sleep.

Another strange point, the washroom exhaust had a mind of its own. It worked when it wanted to, regardless of time, and if any switch was flipped. It would randomly go on in the night, and continue running.

The location isn't the greatest, but it isn't horrible. You can walk to places, but it just takes time.

The only saving grace was probably the price. Stayed here for 2 nights, so regardless of the issues, we decided we could bear with it.

It was nice to have a drink there before our wedding. They even provided free parking ????

Staff are lovely and accommodating.

Unfortunately that doesn't make up for the overall quality.

Windows don't seal well and let in tons of cold air.

Windows offer no sound proofing to reduce outside noises in any meaningful way.

Rooms are not soundproofed. I could hear every. single. word. of a conversation being held in a room located across the hall and two doors away from mine despite all doors being closed.

Mattresses are poor quality. Pillows are lumpy and poor quality.

Bed and bath linens are great as exfoliants.

Surfaces appear clean but are so worn and dingy that you question the true cleanliness vs appearance thereof.

Lobby smells of cigarette smoke.

Hallways and rooms smell generally of must and intensely perfumed cleaning products.

I was booked in for three nights and, despite not being eligible for even a partial refund, opted to book into a different hotel after the first night.

Good bar .Great vibe for the match.

Parfait, proche du stade, petit déjeuner très bien

Stayed here for 4 days and I would highly recommend Grand Canal hotel. The bedrooms were comfortable, I generally feel too warm in many hotel rooms with no option often to turn off the heat but here, the room was perfect temperature. The staff were great at the reception and the housekeeping, attentive and caring. And super location, near the dart line, 15-20 mins walk to the beach and only 25 mins walk into town.

Very helpful staff, great value, rooms are very warm though

Only parked there for a meeting. Shocking price for parking

Friendly staff at the reception. The location is normal, you can walk to the city center in 30 minutes. I really liked that the room had a bathtub. The cleanliness in the room is not ideal (there were wrappers from sweets in the room), but overall the impression is not bad.

Lovely and friendly staff

The staffs are very friendly, The hotel and the bedroom was clean and lovely , The food in the bar was quick and delicious, we had a vegetarian option. We loved it.

Très bon Hotel à quelques pas de l Aviva Station de la gare et des bus pour visiter la capitale irlandaise
