Fantastic - thoroughly enjoyed. I made a point of thanking the manager for our stay - Nice not to be complaining to him instead (97953185)

food and cleanliness was excellent

The king room i booked wasn't
available but I was given a free upgrade to a suite at no charge - Excellent service

location excellent.
Breakfast not included and a little pricey.

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

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.

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)

Very
nice room, good
value for the money, overall very
friendly staff and willing to help if we had any questions

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)

refurbished very well.

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)

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

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)

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.

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.

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

The
food was excellent, and the
reception staff was very
nice
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.

bon petit déjeuner, ascenseur, internet à disposition, veilleur de nuit

avoir de meilleurs accords avec le parking payant à côté car cela revient trés cher et revoir le mode d'enregistrement : ne pas prendre une empreinte de CB pour un montant supérieur au séjour dans la perspective de consommations éventuelles au
bar, c'est assez déroutant quand on arrive !

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)

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!

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.

Had two rooms. One overlooked a building site which can't be helped and building work was only 8.00 - 18:00. The room was clean but the window, although double glazed did not closed properly. The second room overlooked a courtyard which was used by pubs etc. This meant that it was very noisy with barrels/crates being loaded/unloaded well into the early hours. The hotel is in a good position at the top of O'Connell street. Very handy for the hop on-hop off bus (which goes from opposite the hotel). Hotel staff were friendly and breakfast was very good. (2742340)

The hotel was in a
central location and the
breakfast was very substantial.

One of our rooms was very
noisy with pub barrels etc being handled at all
hours. The other room had a
window which did not close properly.

In down town
Dublin I think
teh Academy hotel could not be in a better
location. Across
teh street from the
city bus tour pickup / drop off point. Not on
teh main busy crowded O
Connell street and relitively quite for a metropolitain
location. Very close to
teh hub of it all A really good place to start any Ireland tour or vacation. Stay on upper floors to minimize soem
noise.

Directions from staff to the hotel off O Connel
street as it is up a little side court yard about 50 meters Acroos the
street from the Royal
Dublin Hotel BUT not on O
Connell Street. The side
street OFF O
connell Street.
