Top Grand Canal Square Hotel Reviews

The Leinster

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was a perfect location, walking distance to all of the restaurants and downtown area of Dublin. The room was so vintage, I loved the vintage phone. The toilet was interesting, being a bidet. It did make a lot of noise, but it was interesting to have. The only downside to this hotel that I could think of was a very odd fishy smell when using the shower in the morning. I’m unsure if it was coming from the water or the drains itself, but that definitely needs to be looked at."

The Samuel Hotel, Dublin City Centre

10/10 Excellent

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is so nice! the staff are extemely pleasant and helpful. They even arranged for a cab to take me to the airport! the rooms are very nice and the beds comfortable. Tey don't have Guinness which is a bit of a bummer, but they do have Beamish which is a very good second choice lol you won't regret staying here"

Hilton Garden Inn Dublin City Centre

8/10 Good

"Clean and comfortable hotel in a good location. There was some initial confusion over the late check-out time, but this was rectified easily and without any problems. We didn't stay for breakfast as we had an early start, so can't comment on that. The restaurant food, however, was fairly mediocre and quite expensive for what it was. Overall, a pleasant and comfortable stay, but the dining experience could definitely be improved."
