I took a group of 30 seniors to Dublin staying at this hotel for two nights at the start of a coach tour around Southern Ireland. I was extremely impressed with the cleanliness of the hotel throughout, from the public areas, the corridors, and the rooms, I can only assume it had recently been refurbished as it was outstanding.

Nice big room--lots of space which we loved. Had a double bed and two twin beds, so we had loads of room for our suitcases and were grateful for the upgrade when we got here. Comfortable beds and nice pillows, and a stack of extra towels on the shelf of the closet area. How many hotels do that?!. Excellent breakfast... More

Nice, clean and modern rooms. The Airlink bus stop is right outside of the hotel, so no carrying luggage through the streets. I would definitely stay here again if I were ever to return to Dubln. Easy access to restaurants and shops without staying in the Temple Bar area.

This hotel was on a small side street just off of upper O'Connell Street so that you were spared much of the hustle and bustle of the city. The staff were very friendly, room clean and wifi fast and free. Our room, a double, was very small and it was difficult to find places for our suitcases and clothes. We... More

We went to the Rugby and so wanted somewhere central and this hotel is great from that perspective. We booked a double room and received a complimentary upgrade to a very nice room on the sixth floor. This hotel fits the bill for a city break but there were a few things that would make me look at alternative hotels... More

My husband and I stayed in this hotel over the weekend of the 2013 Heineken Cup Final and had a great stay. The hotel is in a great location just off O'Connell Street, so very handy for the city centre pubs and restaurants. The room was nice, perhaps a little small but we were only there for 2 nights and... More

Stayed at the Academy plaza for 3 nights over bank holiday weekend and would definitely return. Nicely positioned at the top of O'Connell street opposite the first stop for the hop on hop off bus. Very clean and comfortable hotel and the staff were excellent.
