"We were unable to check in until 15:50 we arrived at the property at 14:20. There were 40-50 there with their luggage also waiting to check in. It was very crowded there was no place to sit or stand there was no system in place everyone had to keep queuing at reception to check if the room was ready."

8/10 Good
"I loved everything about the property, we stayed in a family room, which had a double, single and a camp bed. The room was really modern and had everything you needed. The beds were comfortable and we slept well even though there was a lot of outside noise. In great location especially as we were going to a concert at Croke park. The only negative was the length of time it took to check in as a lot of rooms were not ready for 4pm and the queue was very long. A lot of frustrated people."

Grand Canal Hotel Dublin

Grand Canal Hotel Dublin

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at the Grand Canal Hotel. We treated ourselves to a double de luxe room with balcony - which we didn't use much as the weather was cold and wet some of the time but enjoyed having it. Really loved that room - great to have big windows on two sides. Wonderful bedding and marvellous mattress. BUT.... I'm sensitive regarding pillows and they were hard for me. Reception asked for a softer one to be sent up and that did happen (they are very efficient, helpful and kind) but not the best hotel pillow I've experienced. We commend the staff - absolutely FIRST RATE! So courteous without being obsequious. This includes the people who cleaned the room which looked fabulous every day. Beautiful decor - looked recently refurbished. I was delighted to see there were no little plastic bottles of liquid soap and shampoo but big refillable bottles (well done Grand Canal Hotel - keep up the "green" credentials) but may I ask that if you do as requested in the bathroom note and leave towels you're happy to reuse hung up and not thrown in the bath for replacement, the room cleaners should abide by that. Each day we hung up our bath towels and each day they were replaced with clean ones we did not need. So please do note that. We ate three times in the restaurant (apart from the delicious breakfasts) and two out of three meals were fine. The reason given for the under-par one was understandable and my main course was removed from the bill. Would definitely return & recommend!"

"This is an incredible boutique property centrally located in Dublin. The compact room (by US standards) was very well appointed. The bathroom was outstanding. The bed was super comfortable and the quilt was a great reason to sleep in. The rooftop restaurant serves a great breakfast"
