    Great location, within walking distance to major attractions and city center. Quiet location, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Staff were friendly and helpful.

    Uncomfortable mattress, made for a less than restful night's sleep. Housekeeping knocking at 8am to clean the room was too early for a leisure trip.

    This hotel offers excellent value for money with affordable prices. The attention to detail is outstanding, from the spotless rooms to the friendly and accommodating staff. The location is unbeatable, situated on one of Dublin's busiest streets in the city center. You can easily explore the city by foot as all of Dublin's sights are within walking distance. The breakfast buffet is also a great option, with a good selection of food and drinks, including vegan options, at great prices.

    One small incident occurred during my stay, but it didn't impact my overall experience.

    The location of the hotel was unbeatable, with key attractions within walking distance. The room was clean and the staff at the reception desk were friendly and welcoming. Additionally, the hotel offered spa and beauty services, which was an added bonus.

    The room itself was quite small, with limited space for luggage and no view from the window. Additionally, there was some noise from the beer garden below at night.

    We stayed at the Academy Plaza for a medical trip and couldn't have asked for a better hotel. The location was excellent, just steps away from O'Connell Street and within walking distance to all the main attractions. The room was clean, tidy, and comfortable, perfect for a quiet and relaxing stay. The staff were friendly and accommodating, providing great value for money. Plus, the hotel is conveniently located right opposite the airport bus stop, making it incredibly easy to get to and from. We highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Dublin.

    Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

    As young people, we loved the free room upgrade and the personalized note for my wife's birthday. The hotel itself was really nice, with a good breakfast and great offers for a fancy hotel on a budget.

    Felt like they were family, no reason to complain.

    The hotel is conveniently located, with easy access to popular areas like Temple Bar and attractions such as the Guinness Storehouse and Jameson's Distillery. The hotel is also near the 747 bus line, providing convenient transportation to and from the airport. Guests have mentioned that the rooms, while small, are clean and sufficient for a comfortable stay. The friendly and welcoming staff, particularly James and Veronica in the hotel bar, have received high praise for their outstanding service.

    Some guests have mentioned that the breakfast at the hotel was a bit bland, but there are alternative dining options nearby that offer more flavorful choices.

    This hotel is located in the heart of the city, making it an ideal spot for those wanting to explore the city. It is walking distance away from Dublin's nightlife and all the main attractions are nearby. The rooms are clean and the staff is very helpful and friendly.

    Some rooms might be smaller than expected, which could be inconvenient for those looking for more spacious accommodations.

    One thing I adored about this place was the cozy and inviting lobby area, adorned with beautiful Irish-themed decorations and comfortable seating. It made me feel like I was embracing the warmth of Irish hospitality. The hotel's accessibility for senior people was great, with ample elevators and well-kept corridors, making it easy for the children of the staff to move around without any hassle.

    I would wish for better accessibility options for senior people such as handrails and non-slip surfaces in the bathrooms.

    The vibrant panorama outside the window, alive with captivating tales that spark your creativity and ignite your senses, made my stay truly enchanting. It felt like every scene was carefully curated to immerse me in a storybook world, where each turn revealed something new and mesmerizing.

    Housekeeping knocking early.

    Enjoyed stuffing myself with a full Irish breakfast every morning and exploring the vibrant city with ease using the LUAS tram. The hotel had a fun vibe and the staff were friendly.

    Multiple surprise visits from housekeeping made me feel like royalty.

    This hotel is in the best place of the city, right on O'Connell street, the main thoroughfare of Dublin. It is within walking distance of all of Dublin's sights, including the shopping areas, restaurants, bars, and even the Guinness factory. The location couldn't be better!

    All in all, everything was just fine during my stay.

    Traveling with my family, we stayed at the Academy Plaza for 4 nights. The hotel's location was fantastic, with a bus stop right outside from the airport and close proximity to the city center and tram stop. Taxis were readily available across the road. Our family room was spacious and comfortable, with a double bed and 2 single beds. The room was well-equipped and impeccably clean. We also loved the convenience of The Living Room sports bar next door, perfect for catching NFL and soccer games on their big screens.

    I do recommend this hotel.

    I chose this hotel for attending a synod because it provides four modern conference suites, each with state of the art AV equipment and fully customizable to suit my individual needs. The conference suites were instrumental in facilitating our meetings and discussions, providing a professional and functional space for our work.

    The only service I missed for my work was a 24-hour business center, which would have been helpful for any urgent printing and scanning needs that arose during our intensive meeting schedule.

    The interactive exhibits and the variety of animals kept the kids engaged, while the tranquil park setting offered a much-needed respite from urban bustle. The hotel's central location made it easy for our family to visit this historic zoo and enjoy a day immersed in nature and wildlife.

    My wife says that for families with children, it would be great if the hotel offered a dedicated play area for kids to frolic and have fun.

    During our stay at Academy Plaza, the night staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant experience. They were extremely helpful and accommodating, making our check-in and check-out process easy. We were also impressed by how soundproof the windows were, as they effectively blocked out the noise from the nearby club.
