Top The Academy Hotel Reviews

Staycity Aparthotels, Dublin, City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Great Customer Service! The front desk went over and beyond to help with storing our bags and getting us early check in."

The Mercantile Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel! Perfect location - really close to everything, very convenient. The hotel, room, amenities - all superbly clean and fresh feeling. I remember specifically thinking it at the time - everything was very clean, tip top!The rooms are on the small side, but perfectly suitable. Nice bathroom with a good shower. Breakfast was nice. A lovely continental buffet and a choice of hot dishes. I liked the scones - and a proper Irish fry up! Service was great - everyone was very helpful. Quirky little touches around the hotel, too. I will definitely look into staying there next time, too. Loved it!"

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely clean and well maintained hotel, with great taste. Room very clean and bright, just the right size for my purpose. Breakfast offers large variety of choices with high quality."

Clink i Lár

8/10 Good

"Nice hostel environment. But with that came a very noisy night of slamming doors and the people above us talking showers from 2-3 in the morning. Our first night was much quieter. Overall, the stay was positive."

Hotel Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin

10/10 Excellent

"It was a 5 star experience from start to finish, the food was excellent the staff extremely helpful would recommend to my friends to stay here. My next time in Dublin I will be staying here and only here."

Marlin Hotel Stephens Green

8/10 Good

"Overall, the hotel location and amenities within the hotel were fantastic. Loved the modernness of the place, nice gym and laundry facilities a plus. Only negative for me was the lack of airflow in the room, which made the room a bit humid, especially when the shower was used and lack of closet space ( basically there was none). For a few night stay tho, highly recommend it."

Point A Dublin Parnell Street

10/10 Excellent

"Good."

Arlington Hotel O'Connell Bridge

8/10 Good

"Great location! Room was decent, small if you were staying a long time. There was no air conditioning, but for us it wasn’t that big of a deal because the temperature wasn’t very warm. If you were staying here with hotter temperatures, this would be a problem."

The Fleet

10/10 Excellent

"only issue is no AC unit in the rooms"
