We stayed at this hotel twice during our two weeks in Ireland for a total of 5 nights. The manager, Peter had been extremely helpful via twitter and email to help me get rooms booked and ensure that my stay would be great. He even marked down an early check in for us as I knew we'd be tired after... More

We were excited to find a Best Western hotel in the world that wasn't a total wreck.* It was quiet, which was a great upgrade from the other preposterously noisy hotel we stayed in the week prior (Dublin Citi Hotel). The room was EXTREMELY tiny, but that's typical for European hotels. Only one of us could move about it at... More

My eldest and I were just in Ireland and chose the Best Western Plus, Academy Plaza for our first night. It turned out to be a good choice. Booking on line was easy and accurate. The airport shuttle bus stops right in front of the hotel just off of O'Connell Street. The staff were polite and professional and were able... More

I have stayed in this hotel many times and I am always satisified. The rooms are small but very clean. I have had problems with the soap despensers in the bathroom, but other than that, everything in the room works fine. I was a bit disappointed that the Abacus restaurant had closed and that John the barman had retired since... More

Well located just off the upper end of O'Connel street the hotel is a 15 minute walk from Trinity College/ Temple Bar. It is easy to get to from the airport. Just take the airport bus and get off at the first stop on O'Connel Street. The hotel is just around the corner. Our bedroom on the 6th floor had... More

We stayed here in November 2011 for 3 nights. First of all, we took a taxi from the airport to the hotel and it cost us 15 euros which is a resonable price for 4 people (4 euros per person). The room was big enough and clean. The location of the hotel is very good. It is 15 minutes walking... More
