- Gary (9/5): -
- Diane (9/5): Really lovely and peaceful - Location N/A
- Jerry (10/5): This is a very nice and comfortable hotel. - The breakfast was delicious with a large choice of foods. Everything from bacon & eggs to fruits and cereals. Location was an easily doable walk to shopping. We headed right to the sweater market since our luggage didn't arrive with us.
- Michel (10/5): - - Fijne badkamer
- leuke bar
- parkeren onder hotel in garage
- openbaar vervoer binnen 5 min lopen - het bed was ok, niet speciaal
- geen airco op onze kamer, kan misschien warm worden in de zomer

- Christoph (9/5): Alles sehr angenehm. Bei einem weiteren Aufenthalt in Dublin würden wir das Hotel wieder buchen. - Sehr gute zentrumsnahe Lage. Das Zentrum war in wenigen Minuten mit der S-Bahn erreichbar, die S-Bahn Station selbst in 5 Geh-Minuten. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber, zweckmäßig eingerichtet und sehr leise. Das Frühstücksbuffet ließ keinerlei Wünsche offen. Auch bei späterem Erscheinen zum Frühstück war von allem mehr als genug da. Das Personal war außergewöhnlich freundlich und hilfsbereit. In der Tiefgarage konnte das Auto für die Zeit des Aufenthaltes gegen eine Tagesgebühr von 10 Euro sicher abgestellt werden. Nichts.

Petit déjeuner très bien.
Quartier sympa. Emplacement à proximité d'une station Dart.
Quelques bons restaurants à proximité.
- SP_Denver (2/5): Worst Hotel Experience of my Life - I had serious issues during my stay at the Grand Canal Hotel.
First, the shower valve in my room did not work correctly. It was set to an extremely hot temperature, was nearly impossible to turn, and could easily have caused burns. I aborted my shower attempt within seconds.
Somehow, that brief attempt triggered the fire alarm. The room phone immediately rang, and while I was speaking to a staff member—assuring them there was no fire—two additional staff members, a man and a woman, unlocked and entered my room.
I was completely naked at the time and had not had any opportunity to dress between the failed shower and the phone call.
I understand the need to investigate a fire alarm. What I do not understand is hotel staff entering an occupied guest room, without consent and without any meaningful warning, while a guest is actively on the phone with the hotel explaining the situation.
It was shocking, humiliating, and deeply violating. You should also know that the room doors have no interior security latch or chain whatsoever.
I am a very experienced traveler and have traveled extensively throughout the world, including the Middle East and Africa. In all my years of travel, I have never experienced anything remotely like this.
I contacted hotel management afterward, and they stated they are “reviewing procedures.” Frankly, those procedures should never have allowed this to happen in the first place.
Dublin has many excellent hotel options. I would strongly recommend choosing one of them and staying elsewhere.

- Christoph (7/5): Für Städtetripp ein perfektes Hotel. 👍🏻 - Die Lage ist Top und das Zentrum in 30 min zu Fuss erreichbar. Gehobenes ruhigereres Quartier. Frühstück fällt eher kleiner aus als sonst. Ok. Halt...
- Robert (9/5): Nice area - Great location and quiet Tiny bathroom sink
- nmaidwell123 (10/5): Lovely hotel and friendly staff - Lovely rooms with plenty of space and well equipped. Bathroom large and great shower pressure. All staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great with plenty of choice. Nice rituals produces in the room and tea and coffee facilities. The whole hotel was immaculate.

- Huib (10/5): Voortreffelijk - Ontbijt was zeer uitgebreid Ik ben 1.94 m en vond het bed best klein
- Amy (8/5): Grand Canal Stay. - Loved the grand canal area, staff very nice, room was clean. We love to walk, and we explored a lot. Bed too firm. The restaurant was mediocre.

- Tallon (9/5): Throughly enjoyed, will be back - The location was very good with tesco and Eurospar a short walk away as well as bars and restaurants. The 3Arena is a 20-25 min walk so perfect for us. The bed was very comfortable and all amenities that were given were very much appreciated! The vending machine is quite expensive for what you’re getting. Having the option for a later check out also would be ideal.
- Dianne (10/5): We loved it. - Everything. Room was perfect, comfy, roomy and clean. Pretty. Coffee/tea/ state of the art bathroom fixtures. Good lighting. lots of space. Good closets. quiet hallways. Lovely staff. Great lobby area and eating facilities. The CanalExpress...super for quick meals. Toilet paper wasn't the softest...no big deal...just saying.
- Lillian (10/5): -
- Claire (10/5): A wonderful place to stay in Dublin - Comfortable, really great staff, everything you would expect and more. Little touches like good wash products in shower, fluffy towels, water in rooms, make all the difference.
Amazing location (near station, half hour taxi from airport, walkable to city centre shops etc). I had to leave
- Paul (5/5): Not what I expected with the bed - The bar area was very neatly presented The queen size bed was 2 beds pushed together which made for a terrible nights sleep
- Patricia (8/5): -
- DLCAlberta (10/5): Exceptional stay at the Grand Hotel - This is a lovely hotel. Comfortable, clean, attractive, a quiet elegance. Rooms are large and well-appointed. Crisp linens. Lots of space. Tea and coffee and water bottles. Beautiful shower. We ate here several times… all good. Breakfasts were fabulous. Very nice lunch and supper menus. Service impeccable. The attached bar was the loudest and liveliest I’ve ever experienced (but then, I’m not a drinker, not a sports fan, not Irish!) but we had a good supper there. The location suited us, not downtown but easily accessible by DART, and walkable to the cathedral area and even to the Liffey. Would stay here again and again!
- Britnell (8/5): Lovely hotel with spacious rooms and amenities, enjoyed the breakfast and dinner options. - Very clean and spacious rooms, friendly staff. Na
- boroniaanne (10/5): Another comfortable stay - This is my fourth stay at the Grand Canal Hotel. Every dealing with staff - front desk, food, cleaning -was friendly and helpful.

- ethornton3 (8/5): Off the beating track hotel in Dublin, offers great stay. - Small, very intimate hotel, located in a non-tourist part of Downtown Dublin. Great for meeting tour group, like we were on this trip. It may be better for attending sporting events and concerts at the nearby stadium. Located in recalled Docklands and trendy harbor area. Very nice attached restaurant and bar. However, rooms and elevators are small. But away from major attractions. Very affordable.

- Maaike (7/5): Prettig hotel, goede lokatie, leuke restaurant in de omgeving - De badkamer was comfortabel met een goede douche en de kamer had voldoende ruimte met een bureau en thee In de (vroege) ochtenden was er veel lawaai van gasten over de gang en de kamer was heel erg warm.
- Joanne (7/5): Nice hotel but the evening staff let it down - Good location for the 3Arena, restaurant and cafe were lovely and modern, cafe food was nice, good selection of drinks. Rooms were modern, spacious and tidy Food was just ok in the restaurant, there were 5 of us in a group and we all got our meals at different times, had to alert staff to bring the final dish as it still hadn’t arrived and 4 of us were almost finished.
The day time staff were lovely, evening and bar staff not so friendly. I’m pregnant (34 weeks so it’s fairly obvious) and asked for a decaf tea in our round of drinks around 11pm in the bar and was told it was too late for that (another member of staff overheard this and brought me one) I then asked for some decaf tea bags for the room and was told to get them in the cafe, I told the staff member that it was closed (which I’m sure he was aware of) and he just shrugged his shoulders at me, asked at reception and the guy just stared at me and walked away, did bring me back some decaf teabags but never spoke to me.
- Kristen (10/5): - Excellent location. Great breakfast.
