"Location is perfect, service was amazing and breakfast was satisfying!"
Rooms are extremely well maintained and check in and out with ease. Reception was always on hand and the breakfast was basic but just what you need in the morning. Can`t fault the place. Location is smack bang in the middle of town with everything you need in terms of shopping, eating, bars and pubs! Will stay again when we visit Dublin!

"The hotel provided comfortable and clean accommodation at a reasonable price."
It would have been more convenient if the hotel had provided some shampoo.

Just arrived home sunday 16th september from dublin. Had a great stay at the academy plaza, couldnt have been more central. The hop on hop off bus and the airport bus stop outside the front door. Had a lovely dinner at the resturant and the breakfasts were also great.Above all the beds are the most comfortable my husband and Ihave ever slept in and we have been to more than a few "good" hotels.Would definately recommend it. Hope to come back soon. Pam n Kenny

"Comfortable, clean and very friendly staff"
Took my mum away for a night shopping in Dublin recently and was apprehensive about our hotel stay as the last time we went overnight to Dublin the hotel we stayed in was a disaster and it cost alot of money. I had no need to worry. The Academy Plaza was in a great location and was very clean, modern and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and the food was excellent. I would recommend it to anyone and will definately return.

"Room very small"
When we got to our room it was very small but we went down to the front desk and were charged 19euro for a bigger room.Ithink it would be better for your website to explain the room that you book before you go. But over all i cannot fault the hotel. The staff and food were excellent and a fantastic location. I would fully 100% recommend this hotel and would deffinetly stay there again!!

"Hotel was great staff very helpful rooms very clean "
We had food in the bistro very good, breakfast overpriced so we didn`t pay for breakfast we went across the road to toddys Had breakfast for five euros great, caught the air coach across the road back to the airport took 15minutes, my only moan is with hotel direct when I was looking for a hotel I wanted one in Stephens green on their website it has it in Stephens green it clearly is not as the hotel is in upper o Connell street,

"Pleasant but a little noisy"
This is a good hotel, with reasonable and abundant breakfasts, comfortable rooms and very pleasant staff and all at a reasonable price.The only gripes I had were that it is noisy (with the window open) at the from of the hotel t night, but it is just of O`Connell Street so this isn`t surprising. However if you can sleep in a room with closed windows it was very quiet with the window closed, so not a major issue there really. Also the shower was pretty weak, it was hot but lacked the oomph that makes for a really good shower.

"Dublin Trip for Rugby Weekend"
We all enjoyed our stay at the Academy Plaza, we were on a room only basis and found the rooms lovely, The Hotel in all was very good.. We found the Hotel in an excellent position in Dublin as just off O`Connell street which is the main street in Dublin. Only a 3-4 minute walk off the airport bus to the Hotel and the same to get the bus back to airport, perfect. Staff friendly. We didn`t eat in the Hotel so can``t comment on that. Plenty of places in city to eat and drink. We had a wonderful weekend and I would go back the Academy Plaza if we were ever to go back.

"Nice Experience"
I`ve stayed in hotels throughout the country and this hotel was clean, friendly and modern. Just 2 small issues - 1) my double room was quiet small compared to what I`ve experienced elsewhere. 2) There was no car park. I did get a discount off a carpark which was less than 1 minute away but it cost ?11.40 for one night.

"noise from main road."
bedroom was disappointing this time, quite small. In furture would request a higher level floor due to the noise during the night from the main road. (party animals) lasted quite a while on both nights.apart from that, an excellent hotel and a great location. Have recommended to my friends

"Friendly, clean and in a great location"
Thoroughly enjoyed my first time in Dublin and this hotel was a big part of that. Rooms were spacious and clean, bed was amazingly comfortable shower was powerful. TV choices were good. The location was about a 10 min walk to the river, a few bars and restaurants nearby amd everywhere in the city was less than a 30 min walk. Highly recommend this hotel to all, and I will be coming back to Dublin soon!!!

"We would certainly stay at this hotel again if visiting Dublin in the future."
The hotel was very comfortable and clean although the bathroon was rather small. The staff were very attentive especially the ones in the Dining Room who were working with large numbers of guests at breakfast time. We were delighted to find that the hotel was so convenient for the city and sightseeing. The airport bus stops almost opposite as does the "Hop on Hop off " bus.

"Hotel well positioned, great value for money"
The Hotel & room were great but very noisy at night due to external air con fans (?) in the small outside courtyard that the room overlooked. Staff excellent and breakfast couldn`t be faulted. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend the Hotel.
