"This is a great hotel. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and it is in thw perfect location to get to Aviva Stadium. The only down side is that there isn't much sound barrier between the room and the hallway. We had a wonderful time staying there and would recommend it to our friends."

Grand Canal Hotel Dublin

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel"

Pembroke Hall

10/10 Excellent

"This is an incredible place to stay in Dublin. The location is just outside city center so you get a feeling of being in a neighborhood but everything is nearby. There are a lot of good restaurants nearby too. They do a good job of providing information and the room is great too. The one thing to make sure of is that you receive the entry email beforehand as you are on your own for entering the building and how to get room access."
