Very comfortable hotel. Lovely staff. Appreciated early check-in and the café on the main floor. Just what we needed to adjust to the time zone and explore Dublin before setting off to see the rest of the country.

The Grand Canal was the perfect location for our stay to visit with some friends who live a short distance away. Excellent spacious rooms, spa/ health facilities and there are lots of small shops / restaurants in walking distance.
