BW Academy Plaza Hotel Reviews

This is a nice hotel and a great place to stay if you need access to central Dublin. The rooms are good value for money. The breakfast was average and what you would expect from a buffet breakfast. The staff are polite, friendly and helpful. Be warned though parking is not free and you will have to pay a, albeit discounted, fee to park in a multi-story car park nearby. If you are only staying in Dublin I would suggest using airport buses as there is a stop from outside the hotel and they run very frequently.

Central hotel near the bus stop. A small but comfortable room

We found ourselves superbene! Central location just a stone's throw from O'Connell street, reception open 24 hours a day, kids available for information, advice and booking museums and attractions! Plus a comfortable bed!

Looks nice and it's clean, the staff could be more friendly and welcoming

The hotel is nice and located in a great location in downtown Dublin. The rooms are very small, even by European standards. Only use this hotel if you are planning on spending time in the city.

Lovely hotel, so an amazing location to save on taxis, the service was brilliant at the desk as we needed a couple more cards and they were understanding. I wish there was a bit more interaction at breakfast you literally get seated and that is it. Bringing over tea would b3 a good idea

Lovely 4 day stay here . Very central to everything. Staff are amazing and always happy to give good information

Lovely hotel with all amenities. Close to city centre

Very clean but small rooms, but in the heart of the city.

Ok Hotel just off upper O'Connell Street. A bit overpriced for what it is. The walls are a bit thin and the breakfast is mediocre. Location is very good though. Bus stop for the airport right outside the hotel.

Within walking distance of O'Connell Street and the Temple Bar area. Nice buffet breakfast. Reasonable rooms.

Handy hotel just in walking distance of main street

Fantastic hotel,right in the heart of Dublin -great location, helpful staff incredible breakfast gorgeous clean room, and nice sized bathroom!

Large room! Service and cleanliness impeccable! Great location!

Staff were very friendly. Good location. Room was nice.

Great location, just near everything on Dublin. Very nice environment and cleanness. The only negative aspect was the bed, which didn't felt very confortable

Absolutely okay hotel. Clean rooms with some inconvenient solutions and outdated decor. The breakfast was bland and boring, and not totally worth the money.

very central and clean hotel. its alo near to a courtyard of some clubs and bars, but the windows are good isolated. the breakfast is british and good.

Very noisy with a beer garden outside. Staff did nothing when mentioned.

Excellent service, issues rectified incredibly quickly. Good breakfast buffet

2 single beds connected kept separating so sleep wasn't very good everything else was good

Highly recommended for that price. 15 min walk to the center.

Very nice and cosy room. Friendly staff. Everything was clean as expected but the best thing about this hotel is definetly the location. It is right next to O'Connell Street and it is only about 2 minutes away from the Airlink bus station to the airport.

Not the cheapest hotel but definetely worth it.

Very good location, comfortable beds, tight bathroom.

We stayed here for two nights and payed more than 350,- . I know Dublin is expensive but still, for that kind of money I expect a clean hotel. The breakfast they offer extensively is not worth the extra money or time. It is very busy and the staff is not really cleaning the tables off when guests are finished. Go somewhere else for a good start into your day. Two stars only for the location. It felt like a rip off.

At a a vent very nice hotel perfect spot in the middle of city center

Right in the middle of Dublin, super central. Price / performance is optimal. Very courteous service. Breakfast buffet more than enough. The rooms are very clean and the bathroom is great. Recommended for a weekend in Dublin.

Stayed here multiple times, good price, nice room and right in the city centre.

Nice hotel. Friendly staff. Clean. The breakfast is not my cup of tea, though. I suppose it is an irish-type breakfast.

Perfect location. Well worth the money. Skip the breakfast...over priced. Will return.

Great friendly staff, clean rooms and bathrooms. Pizza available sfter 11pm via delievery from outside pizza shop thats partnered up eith the hotel . Over all great experience

Beautiful hotel. Just off one of the main streets. Close to shops museums and temple bar. Staff is delightful and very helpful. Rooms can be small. Nice bar and restaurant in the lobby. There is also a gym so bring your runners.

The rooms and staff were great, breakfast was excellent as well. Only gave it 4 star because their restaurant in the evening needs a bit of work. Only one person to seat people and take orders.

Would stay there again definitely!

Nice clean "fancy-like" hotel, decent location, nice and helpful staff.

We spent a nice journey in that hotel; the staff was very nice. We were close from the center, and everything was easily accessible

what a great place to stay. fantastic location and the staff were fantastic. great breakfast. highly recommend. very comfy rooms.

Great location. Convenient complimentary breakfast. Friendly staff

Small rooms, the bar closes soon and does not have much dinner offer. The attention and services, as well as the location, very good. Rico buffet breakfast

Everything was great. Room a bit small. Staff very friendly! I could also borrow a Euro plug for a deposit. Unfortunately the continentale breakfast was not very good that day. However, you could eat this at 6 o'clock in the morning. The ham was dried out, but there was no milk in the musli.
The warm buffet or English breakfast on the next day, which is offered from 8 o'clock, was very tasty. Was also constantly replenished. We could leave our suitcases there after checking out ... :)

I never stay anywhere else when un Dublin. Great location for easy access anywhere I need to go. Attentive, friendly, professional staff. These people are like family to one another, and it makes for a great environment.

Very clean room. Very comfortable bed. Only downside was that the lock on the bathroom door was faulty. Everything else was very good

The location is good, the officials are very attentive. The bathroom is ok and clean. The beds are not so comfortable. It has air conditioner.

GREAT value for the price. Convenient location, near bus and tram stops, walking distance from the Temple Bar area and O'Connell Street. Checked in early and got upgraded to an Executive Suite - great staff and breakfast can be reserved for a discounted price.

Staff terrible, they wake you up at 8.30am to clean the room. the quality of the standard remains to be desired.

Loved this hotel. My daughter and I stayed here a few nights during St.Paddy's day. Perfect spot to watch the parade. The food at the restaurant was very good and the wait staff was great!. Definitely will stay here again when visiting Dublin.

Lovely place. Great staff. Situation brilliant. Restarant menu poor

Reasonable 3 star hotel. Area not the best but the hotel was good value for the price paid. I would stay there again. Only gave 3 stars as breakfast not great - this seems to be a hotel with lots of coach tours so breakfast room was too busy on the mornings I went in. Ended up skipping breakfast and getting something outside the hotel.

Well-located and good value. The rooms are a little tired but very clean. Good service at the front desk - very friendly and helpful. Nice public areas and a residents bar. Ideal location just off O'Connell Street and within walking distance of most of central Dublin's main attractions.

Location is great, price is reasonable, rooms are small.

Quiet hotel, pretty good breakfast and attentive and polite workers

Staff were great, place was clean. Heating was alright but not great

Fantastic! Extremely friendly and helpful staff. The hotel is beautiful, clean, safe and well-situated to shops, transport and attractions. There was a big variety to choose from for breakfast - and enough to feed one for the day! Thank you Peter and all the staff for the 5 Star treatment we received. It was truly our home from home. Mike and Suzette

Over all it was a good experience but needed some maintenance to the room. It was spotlessly clean. The staff was friendly, helpful and polite

Very nice hotel to visit Dublin. The bus connecting the airport to the city center stops right in front! And all transportation is accessible from this hotel. The breakfast is good as well as the very friendly staff!

A small flat all the same on the noise that the bar next door from Thursday evening (while we have a room overlooking the inner courtyard ... I can not imagine those giving in the street !) and the rooms a little aging ... Comfortable despite everything but deserve a touch of youth!

Second stay and seemed to be downgraded in room from last stay but still handy location

Great location for exploring the city with the bus stop in front of the airport and all public transport in no more than 100 mt ... cleanliness, friendliness and helpfulness of all the staff ... only flaw the bathroom without bidet shower wall without flexible ... or take a bath or wash as you can!

Enjoyed my stay.for a 3 star hotel was spot on breakfast wad nice rooms was clean
Staff was helpful

Good location. Great hotel. Breakfast buffet sufficient. Very small rooms with a very small bed. Actually not to do with two. What is a big disappointment is that everything is closed at Christmas. Wanted to eat the Christmas dinner in the hotel. Unfortunately that was not possible. Was full .... but during the evening the restaurant was more empty than full. Unfortunately. Not so customer oriented ...

Absolutely decent breakfast, friendly service. Central and good

I have stayed here on numerous occasions over the past two years and cannot recommend it enough.The staff are all very polite and helpfull a special mention must go to Dean(recption)and Jordan in the bar both young men are not only a credit to your hotel but also to our industry which I have worked in for 30 years or so .Looking forward to my next stay well done all.
