Top Grand Canal Hotel Reviews

Marlin Hotel Stephens Green

8/10 Good

"The location is incredible—you're right in the heart of the city, so close to Grafton St/St. Stephens Green/etc.—so it's really a swap, bed for the night. But that's all it is, a bed. The quality of everything is nice and good, but the finishes in the bathrooms were chipped and falling apart a bit, and the noise of doors closing in the hall are quite loud. There are charges related to everything, too, early check-in is a charge, the self-service laundry room is expensive (and requires exact change!). So it's a good hotel, and I'm glad I stayed there, but I'm on the fence about recommending."

Clink i Lár

8/10 Good

"Overall a good stay and good enough for a night. The staff were very helpful in turning on the Air Conditioning System in the room as it got quite hot. The general aesthetic of the hostel was cool and clean!"

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin by IHG

Clayton Hotel Burlington Road

8/10 Good

"It was a nice property but it could use some updates as it was a bit rough in spots. The room was spacious and comfortable. We had a few issues with the electrical outlets."

Temple Bar Hotel Dublin by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I stayed here for a week while visiting for a wedding. The hotel was incredibly accommodating from the moment we stepped inside. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable on the area. Only thing I didn’t realize was the room I booked didn’t include a mini fridge which was a surprise but not a deal breaker. We missed our flight to leave and had to book an additional night, the front desk staff was incredible and got us into our room quickly and early. Would absolutely stay again for the staff, location, and cleanliness."

Grand Canal Hotel Dublin

10/10 Excellent

"Its location and dining facilities were very good."

Latroupe Jacobs Inn
