    Such a pleasant place to stay

    rating26 Apr 2026

    Such a pleasant place to stay. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The room was spotless and very well equipped. The bed was comfortable and our room had a balcony area with great a view of the city. Very easy access to the city and only a short taxi ride to the National concert hall.

    Off the beating track hotel in Dublin, offers great stay.

    rating19 Apr 2026

    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.

    Fantastic place to stay. Rooms were sparkling clean with lots of nice wee touches. Beds were super comfortable. Option of bath or shower. Good pressure and good temperature range from really hot (just how i like it) to really cold.Staff extremely helpfulBreakfast was really nice with lots of options waiters and waitresses were very professional and courteous. I would 100% come back and stay here and 100% recommend this hotel to people. Definitely a tight run ship with staff who are well trained and really good at their job.

    Relaxing few days celebrating 25th wedding anniversary!

    rating27 Feb 2026

    A lovely hotel situated near Ballsbridge and also close to the Dart train station which was a major reason why we chose to stay here. We checked in late evening and the process was very smooth and we managed to get a couple of pints of Guinness before going to bed. Our room was very spacious, the only negative would be that there was no duvet. Rooms were cleaned daily and the shower was powerful! The breakfast on offer was very nice. Served as a hot buffet and there was plenty of cereal, choice of fruit and pancakes etc for overseas visitors. The Gastro Bar was popular and we dined here one evening which was again very enjoyable. Staff were both friendly and proffessional happy to make sure that service was of a high standard.

    Fab hotel

    rating24 Jan 2026

    Fabolous hotel - stayed one night on a visit to Dublin. Check-in was flawless with a very nice young man tending to us. Room was spotless & nicely decorated. Beds were very comfortable & a bottle of water for each guest provided a nice touch.Location was superb for us & we ate in the bar which was delish. Overall a great experience, would highly recommend. Donna Curry, General Manager at Grand Canal Hotel, responded to this review Dear Guest, I am delighted you enjoyed your stay with us and that your experience at the bar and hotel was enjoyable. I very much hope that you will be back to visit us in the near future. Kind Regards,Donna Curry
