Nice clean room, helpful and friendly staff, and a great location. Some noise from the bar until 1.30am, but that didn't bother us as we were on a night out anyway. But once the bar closed the room was very quiet. Lovely breakfast the next morning. And free overnight parking, so it's perfect for a one night getaway to the city.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Myself and my friend stayed here as we were attending the show Dirty Dancing at the Grand Canal Theatre. The hotel puts on a return shuttle for €4 per person.
We ate in the bar "The Gasworks" and it was enjoyable.
After the show we returned to "The Gasworks" bar which was very lively and enjoyable.

I was unhappy with the hotel for the following reason. I booked a single room, and I got a twin room, when I discovered this I rang reception to ask them to switch my room for a one with a double bed (I was staying for two nights and mentioned that I was in Dublin again for two nights the following week and was considering staying with them again) and they told me it was not possible to move me to a room with a double bed. I find this hard to believe. Also the shower was in the room was not working properly - when lifting the lever the change the water from bath to shower - the water remained "pumping" out of the bath tap as well, which compromised the power in the shower. The company I work for have a training centre very close to this hotel which is why we use it, I am returning to Dublin this week for the remainder of my course and will not be using this hotel. I will also not be recommending that any of my colleagues use this hotel.

The Grand Canal Hotel was beautiful, the room was very clean and comfortable, the only complaint I would have was that is was very hot and we could regulate the temperature in the room, However, the breakfast the following morning was gorgeous, we had plenty to choose from and the service was excellent. Will definately stay there again. It is ideally located if going to events in Grand Canal Theatre or the O2.

Fantastic hotel in a great location, very well recommended by Roomex staff. We got an excellent price through Roomex, check-in was seamless. Room was clean and well up to standard, will be staying here again.

Breakfast was sub standard. Hot breakfast should be hot and well cooked. Other elements were not great either.
Reception staff very friendly. Bedroom very nice.
This hotel needs to get both parts of the B & B right. In our opinion, they are only half way there.
