This was one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in..I usually prefer Hyatt or Marriott. The rooms were clean, quiet, and comfortable. The staff was excellent and went above and beyond to make us comfortable. My husband and I were greeted with Champagne when they found out it was my Birthday! Location was superb. Walking distance to everything we wanted to see.
For being my first time in Dublin, it was an amazing experience. The staff was amazing too. They help my buddy stay In the same hotel when he was staying at one of the sister hotels. No hotel has to do anything like that but they stepped up to help out. Again, an amazing staff and hotel.
The staff make this property! They are all so friendly and helpful. The bar and restaurant here are great and such a perk to have on site - especially when other places are too busy.
My only complaint is the rooms are too dark - not enough lighting for someone getting ready/ doing makeup- and there are no outlets in the bathrooms for hair tools. It’s aLeo unfortunate that there is no where to put your clothes - you have to live out of your suitcase for your stay.
But the rooms are clean, quiet and the beds are comfortable! So overall a great stay and maybe some minor improvements needed :)
Property was amazing and in a great central location. Breakfast offered could have had more options for non pork eaters. Turkey beef or chicken sausage and bacon.
Great hotel and restaurant . The staff was super friendly

Location was great, we walked to the bars along the river close to hop on hop off bus line. Bar on site, rooms were good. Reduced parking about 1 block away
Loved how convenient this property was to Dublin! I was amazed by the quality of the lobby, rooms, and restaurants. As well as how friendly the staff was, this resort will be my go to when traveling to Dvlon moving forward!

Great location
Staff were great
But layout of bathroom was funny . Mirror over toiled and not sink
Also the iron was very difficult
Bar staff and bar were lovely
The Grafton is amazing!
Our stay was very pleasant and we felt at home. The hotel is perfectly situated for a stay in Dublin.
Everything was made perfect by all the staff and nothing was too much trouble for them.
The attention to detail from our check in by Carmen to the fantastic service at our breakfasts and dinners in the restaurant by Gary, Liluana and Jessica, were second to none.
I highly recommend The Grafton and we will definitely be back!
I absolutely loved my stay here! The location is superb! The hotel is so cute and has a gorgeous bar and restaurant. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Room was big and clean! Separate toilet and shower area, which is nice ;) shower was huge.
The ONLY reason it was not 5 stars is because the bed was so hard. I had to sleep with 5 pillows lol but even with that, I would stay here again!!!!!
A decent hotel in a good neighbourhood with several very good restaurants in the area. Rooms comfortable but quite small. Excellent breakfast

Loved this hotel! Fantastic location, so close to Grafton street and loads of love places to eat and drink.
Really nice little hotel, clean, comfortable- our room was lovely. The lobby was very smart, and the bar and restaurant areas were nice. We didn’t actually eat at the hotel so can’t comment on that. The toiletries smelled lovely too!
This is our favourite hotel in Dublin, this was our second visit and it won’t be our last.
The rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff are exceptional, nothing is too much trouble, always polite and welcoming.
Great breakfast and lovely food and drinks throughout.
The hotel is in a great location.
We highly recommend The Grafton Hotel.

Very comfortable stay at the Grafton. Perfect location and clean and quiet room. So close to the holidays the city was so busy, it was nice to be able to find a spot at the bar for a pint before bed.

Great location, amazing staff. Loved the fact that the bar was reserved for hotel guests since the streets and vars were so crowded it gave us a place to be able to hang and regroup in between outtings.

Beds were comfy and shower was amazing! If your the kind of human that needs sound to sleep you need a noise machine… It’s a quite as a mouse in the rooms!

The Grafton is a great place to stay for a visit to Dublin. It is within easy walking distance for great dining, drinking and sightseeing. The staff is attentive and helpful. The area can be quite busy and noisy at night, but the hotel security does a great job screening out non-guest and keeping things quiet in the hotel proper. The bar and restaurant are also nice and serve good food and drinks.

Fantastic find. Great for shopping areas of Dublin. You are round corner from St Stephen’s Green Centre-couldn’t be better. Room is fantastic, mini fridge in room. Great lobby area, able to grab coffee and go. Good food opportunities nearby. Staff friendly and welcoming. Parking across street. Fantastic find.
Everything about this hotel is as you expect from a 4 star lodging — friendly staff, excellent restaurant (must try the bbq wings), spacious family rooms with two bunk beds and a king for those of us who travel 2 3 kids. Would definitely stay here again!
We loved the Grafton Hotel - the family room offered a king bed and two sets of bunk beds which was perfect for our family of two adults and two kids. Spacious room and everyone had their own, comfy sleep space. The hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating. It was a perfect location to Grafton Street, restaurants and shopping; very walkable and safe area; easy to grab a cab. Excellent experience - would stay again and recommend to family and friends!
Perfect location for a quick Dublin hit. Beautiful hotel, steps to all the pubs and restaurants we wanted. Staff was great. Garreth took great care of us. We will definitely be back for a real Irish holiday.
