Boasting an excellent location in the affluent Ballsbridge area of Georgian Dublin, The Grand Canal Hotel is a perfect base to discover the vibrant and friendly Irish capital.
The hotel is only a 15 minute stroll from the city centre with Grafton Street, Trinity College, the O2 (Shuttle Bus), etc. Right across the road from the Grand Canal Dock you will find the DART Station, which is ideal for daytrips to Dublin's seaside.
Inaugurated in 2004, the Grand Canal Hotel in Dublin offers great value accommodation in a secure environment, where key-cards are required to access all rooms and floors.
Hotel features include free parking, and the popular Gasworks Bar, offering flat screen TV, games, live entertainment and tasty food. A full Irish breakfast at the on-site Epic Restaurant is a great way to start each day during your stay.

The hotel was a little expensive for the location but was of good quality and service was good. Close enough to walk to city centre but was quite a long walk.

Overall the hotel was fine except for the appalling service that we received when making a complaint. At 6.45am the bathroom fan came on in the bathroom and would not shut up. Two complaints were made, the first one was ignored and when we returned in the evening we complained again. The attitude of the receptionist was it will switch off at 11pm. our comments about it switching itself on again at 6.45 am were completely ignored and so it did!. the fan was so loud you could hear it down the corridor and it woke our companion up who was in the next room but at least 15 meters from the location of the fan. considering we were paying 145€ for our room and it was on the 'executive floor ' I would have expected an executive service. Would we stay there again? NO. The least we could expect was courtesy and having our complaint taken seriously

Location is not central to Dublin city but the hotel has a bus stop nearby which takes you straight into the city. Breakfast was included and was very good.

Das Hotel erreicht man vom Stadtzentrum am besten indem man mit "Dart"(Schnellbahn) einige Stationen bis "Grand Canal Docks"fährt. Danach sind es etwa 5 min zu Fuß. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, das Zimmer, obwohl straßenseitig gelegen, ruhig, sehr geräumig und darüber hinaus auch sauber. Alles in allem stimmt das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis und wir würden uns bei unserem nächsten Dublintrip wieder für dieses Hotel entscheiden.

welcoming very rude by one man at the reception arguing about the "venere" reservation and pretending in a very rude way the payment with a credit card. I try and explain something about the venere system to pay,.. but he was very suspicious and rude.

The hotel was overall just as expected by booking through venere. The hotel is not that close to the city, but within walking distance to bus link to the airport and open top "hop on- hop off sightseeing tour bus". Staff very friendly to children. The breakfast was good, a bit expensive we thought. The room was clean, bathromm o.k. and the bar food also. We preferred the location as it was very quiet at night. We would definitely choose this hotel again at another stay in dublin.

This is the perfect hotel for those who are able to walk into town but don't want the noise and bustle of Dublin town centre. There is a pub attached to the hotel with live music on which was brilliant!
