A hotel that stands out in the crowd near Dublin’s newest stadium
From the Grand Canal Hotel, Aviva Stadium--the new national showplace of rugby and soccer--looms overhead and the National Convention Centre is a quick stroll over the River Liffey. The Grand Canal's rooms are decorated in warm red tones with modern touches and traditional comforts. The lively Gasworks Bar is perfect for informal meetings or a night of entertainment featuring pull-your-own-pint tables.

Great Place!!
Location was nice, just 1.5 blocks from Grand Canal Dock DART station. Excellant staff, quiet hotel, large room, clean, & modern. Safe location too! I would recommend this hotel to anyone who visits Dublin. I was travelling alone as a female and felt safe all the time.

Money-saving tip:
Not Applicable
Get a transport pass that is good for both Dublin City Bus and DART. You won't have to worry about having change on you at all times, saves you a bit of money too.

Quiet and convenient
Stayed four night in this hotel and slept well for all of them. It is quiet, very clean, free wi-fi, a bar on the premise that serves food but is not wild, and helpful staff. Plus its close to the Schoolhouse stop on the airport bus. It's about a 20 minute walk to Trinity College and also the convention center, so not super close. The neighborhood seemed very safe--I walked back to the hotel at night (10:30) with no trouble, a woman by myself. I would definitely stay here again.

Cornucopia is an excellent inexpensive vegetarian restaurant on Wicklow Street, just of Grafton. It's about a 20-25 minute walk.

Exceeded Highest Expectations
I travel more than I woul like for work and occassionally find a hotel or B&B that makes the list of places that I would bring my Wife and children for holiday. The Grand Canal Hotel made the short list. The lobby and room were bright and airy, the Irish breakfast was devine; however, the staff separates this hotel from their comptitors.

Excellent location, great hotel.
an excellent central location to the local nightlife areas. A 10 Euro cab ride to either Temple Bar or Steven's Green and high traffic so never waited more than a minute or two. Also walking distance to the stadium. Free wifi was nice as well.

We enjoyed our stay at Grand Canal
We enjoyed our stay at Grand Canal Dublin. It was a good hotel in that it was ideally located for going to the football and yet was an easy walk to the main shopping area. The hotel downstairs was great, especially when the football was on. We would stay again and would recommend.

Very nice, clean, and comfortable
We were there for the Dublin Marathon and the finish line was about 1/2 mile from the hotel. We stayed in room 529 and really enjoyed it. It was quiet and room was a nice size and with a queen bed. The location was great...we were probably a little over a mile walk to the center of Dublin. We didn't rent a car and just walked everywhere. (Start doing some walking a few weeks before your trip if you plan get around this way.) The restaurant in the hotel had good food.

The hotel was easy to access from
The hotel was easy to access from the ferry and the parking was convenient. The hotel was conveniently located and within easy walking distance of the city centre. The noise on Saturday night was a bit disturbing but all that bad.

Great Place to Stay. Friendly staff.
We went on the Dart all the way to Malhidle and down to Davenport. Had a great time around Dublin and the service at the Hotel, especially Nicole and Caesar in the Gasworks were outstanding.
