Stayed at this hotel November 20-21st with National Holidays on a bed and breakfast basis.Room was very spacious. With a large bathroom and very clean, we overlooked an office block and side street but it was very quiet.Plenty room for luggage storage and wardrobe space,flat screen tele on the wall very modern and multi channels available also free Wi-Fi which was a bonus.Breakfast very nice and very Irish with continental breakfast also available.Very well located for Dublin centre and within easy walking distance of all main attractions.There was a very good bar next door to the hotel and this was very reasonable.would certainly recommend this Hotel to anyone and would stay here again.

Stayed at this place for more than a week on business. The place has its advantages - a great location, access to all points in the city, away from the city centre noise. The facilities though fall short. The rooms were very small - after putting my luggage I did not have enough space to walk around in the room. The service was normal - nothing that made you sit up and notice ... Very few plug points although I carried around a multi purpose connector so didn't realise the trouble much. Internet was troublesome and slow by, forget about European standards, Indian standards.

If you are looking for a touristy trip to Dublin and spend very little time in your hotel, this is a good place, else there are better places.

The airport line bus and the hop on hop off are right outside the door. get the ticket at the airport and for e28. you get transportation both ways and 3 days hop on hop off. We stayed 3 days in Dublin so it was perfect for us. Also included the metro buses. Hotel was nice and our room was for three so it was good size and the bathroom was very nice, not huge but big for ireland. Staff was friendly and visit overall was good. There is a lot to do and we spent most of our time exploring Dublin.

The Academy Plaza is in the perfect location for on-foot sightseeing of downtown Dublin. Walk out the door and you're in the heart of this bustling city. The room was clean and comfortable but very cramped. Our 2 large suitcases occupied almost all the free floor space available in our room. Breakfast was traditional Irish fare, very good and very filling. There is free wifi, but you must park around the corner at a public car park. The hotel validates your parking ticket to give you a discount, but it's still rather expensive. If I return to Dublin I will definitely check the availability of this hotel again.
