Henrik from Drammen, NO (Young couple) 17 May 2008

OK, but the breakfast experience should be better. (97557189)

negative comments I disliked the Breakfast area. Felt I was in a cellar. Should be brighten up and have some more view out. For me it is very important to have good breakfast area/food when Im on Holidays. Regardless of that, the food was OK, should be more choices of sandwich spread. Fruit was OK, and the staff was the best regarding breakfast.

mi sarebbe piaciuto di avere un contatto con voi con un operatore che parlasse italiano per spiegare cosa mi volevo (97165834)

positive comments la citta di dublino la collocazione dell'hotel
negative comments che non ce' specialmente in alberghi dove sono stato persone che parlano piu lingue visto che il turismo in IRLANDA sta aumentando o che ci fosse stato un centro per il turismo multilingue anche telefonico e poi quel sistema che non mi e piaciuto all'arrivo una cifra maggioredi circa 40 euro con richiesta alla carta di credito a garanzia che debbo dire poi definita al conto finale

Overall our stay was very good, the hotel is very clean and tidy, the staff are friendly and helpful, locality is ideal for all area's of the city. My only criticism is that you can hear everyone talking as they walk down the corridor past your room, which can be quite irritating in the early hours, but then I am a light sleeper. (97114631)

positive comments The staff were very friendly and helpful. The Bar area was clean, tidy and very spacious and comfortable. Rooms were very Clean and well maintained.
negative comments The Breakfast Buffet was a bit disorganised and the plates available were tiny

positive comments Very nice room, good value for the money, overall very friendly staff and willing to help if we had any questions
negative comments The door to our room was broken and really hard to open and close. We had to have a concierge come up and show us all how to do it, and it still took a lot of man power. He also seemed to think we were a bit dull having not figured out how to open the door by ourselves.

The hotel was still under renovation, the entrance was down a dodgy side road and the location was less than desirable I would have liked to have known the type of area it was in, the fact there was no main entrance as it was all boarded up and surrounded in scaffolding and that it was still being refurbished (99967416)

positive comments The Room had been refurbished very well.

1. The construction workers making noise. 2. The bedding was inadequate for this time of year. 3. The bed was very noisy, is it an old bed? 4. The room was not cleaned properly. (99165901)

positive comments The location.
negative comments We were not inform that the hotel was undergoing renovations, so we did not appreciate the fact to be woken up at 07h00 in the morning with construction workers making noise.

I have stayed in several Best Western hotels whilst on business and have always been happy with them. The Academy is the worst Best Western I have used. Having said that, the location was excellent, and Dublin itself is an excellent location for a pleasant weekend. (3305239258)

positive comments The location was excellent; the breakfast was good; the staff were friendly and efficient
negative comments The room (503) was small, there had been a flood at some time and there was still a generally damp smell. The dining room was cramped and the hotel in general felt cramped . . . narrow corridors, tiny lift, etc.

trevor from grimsby, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 27 August 2006

this was a first class hotel,it was so easy to find and only a short distance from the city centre.for a first time visitor it would be hard to find a better hotel for the price. staff went out there way to assist even when we had to get an early flight. i would certenly recommend the best western and will be booking next year. trevor-heather jensen grimsby uk (3305141053)

I would not reccomend your hotel. not until you get better beds. (3305056436)

positive comments The food was excellent, and the reception staff was very nice
negative comments The bed was very uncomfotable, so much so, that neither us could sleep, also, the room backed onto a bar which was noisy until 2:00am, and then construction started around 6:30am. in other words it was very noisy.

Gordon from Coleford, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 15 April 2006

The Academy is a good place to stay with very clean rooms and a very good breakfast. We used the bar which was next door no problem. The staff were very helpful and pleasant - We will recommend to our friends and ouselves will use this hotel if we visit Dublin in the future. (3304415485)

positive comments very close to O'Connell street and air coach connection - staff were very good helpful and pleasant and clean room
negative comments due to planer operating at night and resurfacing in O'Connell Street less than 100 mtrs away - not much sleep but hotel not to blame just picked wrong night.

susan from Stoke on Trent, United Kingdom;GB (Young couple) 27 March 2006

It would have been good to have some in room information about the local facilities for example the best restaurants and the best entertainment venues. Also it would be good if they could state that they provide towels so you dont have to take your own! Overall I was very pleased with the accomodation and the staff and we had a great holiday! (3304385079)

positive comments Large rooms with excellent facilities and room service. Being able to request breakfast in you room was great! Within walking distance of the city centre and the 1st stop of the city bus door is right outside!
negative comments There were builders outside our bedroom window and at times the hammering was quite annoying especially when you want a lie in! but otherwise we had no problems.
