McEniff Grand Canal Hotel Reviews

Next to Aviva stadium it's a good place to stay for weekend

Lovely hotel, nice bar too with loads of craft beer

Nice helpful staff, small minimal rooms, good location

Nice hotel with free parking. It's more peaceful and much more reasonably priced than city centre hotels. I've already booked my next stay there a few days after my first stay.

I never got over the thing with the 3 single beds in the room, but otherwise the hotel is really ok. Easy to reach on foot from the city, very nice staff. The rooms are also well equipped and the beds are comfortable. Luckily you can push them together ...

An ideal hotel for visitors to the Grand Canal area, good bar downstairs and a great little cafe in the lobby

Great hotel. Management is excellent. Breakfast was first class. Book direct with the hotel for best service. Cant recommend it strongly enough. I will use in future when in Dublin. Close to Google, passport office.

Fine hotel overall pretty clean with some weird quirks, like hairdryer in desk drawer and not removable. You have to stand at the desk to dry your hair...this appears to be on purpose. Biggest issue is that they advertise air-conditioning and they do not have it in more than half of their rooms. Small fans are offered to cool you off on hot evenings....

I found the hotel to be very poor. There was two broken handles in the room, a coffee machine but no cups, milk or spoons, the wifi was terrible (clocked it at 0.1MB at 6 o clock) essentially useless, a fire alarm went off in error at 6.20 in the am (not a wake up call I would have wanted) and not hot water for a shower when I got up.
On the plus side the staff were lovely.
As a person that stays in Dublin once a week for work i definitely wont be using this hotel again.

Great service at the bar, tasting of traditional beers, snacks and regional dishes all at a fair price for anyone traveling through Europe.

Clean and tidy. Comfortable bed, though the hotel was busy so been in a single for the night.

So far, so good! Some things take a bit of getting used to if, like me, you're from the States. Excellent service and impressive breakfast spread. The on-site brewpub is excellent. Definitely recommend!

Friendly staff, food and rooms lovely, will be back again to stay

Serviceable hotel, with decent sized rooms, very tidy. It's attached to a great pub with good food options.

Apart from the reception, nothing keeps the level and the restaurant .... what restaurant? This should be called a henhouse where the feed is given!

We were disappointed to find the lovely bar closed at 10pm on a Friday night. Definitely a first for me in an Irish hotel. We were looking forward to relaxing with a drink there after dinner but alas, no. The hotel was comfortable and clean but perhaps lacked any ambiance or character and was a tad bland.

Beautiful, 5 star all the way from the room to the service, ability to check in early after a 24 hour flight for Australia was great and all the staff were extremely pleasant and helpful

Love this hotel. Great location, staff good, only downfall is the parking. The car park in the hotel gets full quite fast but there is lots of parking on the street. Great food.

Very clean and quiet room, very friendly staff, nice decorations, good value for the price.

Fantastic staff, great location and rooms. Beds are super comfortable!

Was only able to stay for around 3 hours, due to work, but was plenty decent for what I needed from it.

Excellent stay. Staff was friendly. Bed was firm and still comfortable. Breakfast Buffet was amazing.

Great Hotel quiet lovely staff. Very handy for the downtown area.

Great family room. Friendly staff at check-in. Eduardo, who received us, spoke portuguese!

Really great hotel, free parking, comfy room. They have great showers, avid a coffee machine in the room as well as tea! Would recommend!!

Lovely spacious rooms, sleep so well there for the ambiance is just right

Every time I'm in Dublin, I stay here overnight. The hotel really has a lot of charm. The Air Coach has a stop right in front of the hotel and therefore the hotel can be reached very well and directly from the airport.

Very modern feel which laid the foundation for a great stay on my return visit to Ireland for my grandson s communion. Thank you to all of the staff.

This was a great find. Conveniently located nesr Barrow St Dart station / Grand Canal Dock, this iis a modern comfortable hotel. Good coffee dock for a lite bite or a late bite. Room warm and comfortable.. nice and quiet (no heavy traffic trundling under your window.) Slept exceedingly well. Great value full Irish & buffet breakfast. All piping hot. Lovely selection of smoothies , fruit salids etc as well. Pancake making machien an added bonus. Best value we have had in a Dublin hotel for a long time.

Located near the Google offices so perfect if you're going there on a business trip. I found the hotel to be a little overpriced for what they offer.

It's a simple and expensive hotel for the service they offer. It's lucky location as in the neighborhood there are all tech companies and you are walking distance, but rooms design and service didn't change at all in the past 7 years. It's a hell money they have earned as the hotel is mainly fully booked weeks in advance.
The only good thing is they have an Irish pub and restaurant in it.

Had a nice experience at the Grand Canal Hotel. Room was clean and with all facilities you'd expect, service was good and the location of the hotel is great, particularly if you're doing business in the local Docks area: Google's office on Barrow St. is just a 1 minute walk away. Also, there are plenty of convenience stores nearby.

Free parking for people booking directly with the hotel is a great bonus too.

Fantastic location, rooms a bit tight, amazing selection of craft beer in the bar. Will be back!

Small, nice hotel with a good breakfast. Unfortunately, the breakfast was always set up quite late, so that early risers could not draw from the full selection. The hotel is quite well located.
In a few meters there is a bus stop and several shops and restaurants. The city is also within walking distance, but you shouldn't be "lazy".

The rooms were neat and clean. The room was equipped with two single beds, a bathroom with shower and toilet.
A kettle was available for use.

Savage breakfast . Tiny hatch is not what I would call a residence bar so one star off

Great staff very friendly and helpful good pint of Guinness

If you are attending Bord Gais or Aviva. Or just visiting. The Grand Canal is a must. Ideally Located to walk to both venues for shows & rugby games. Fast pace 10 minutes. Slow 15 to 20.
A first class welcome from Angelina & her wonderful Polish colleague who made us feel right at home. Very informative. Bedroom 406 lovely and quiet. Our stay 28th April 2018. Water. Tea coffee. Comfy bed. Orla Kiely toiletries. Bath & shower. Spotless. Breakfast was the best we have had in Dublin. Freshly made for you. Coffee tea to go. Such a good morning welcome from Thair a lovely young man. Definately would highly recommend The Grand Hotel for the travellers at home and abroad. For the show goers. Game goers too. Well done to all. We so enjoyed. Thank you. Susan (Roe) Morton.

Friendly staff. Great breakfast. Nice rooms. Always a good stay.

Excellent hotel with friendly staff and great breakfast.

Lovely stay but parking only free if accommodation booked directly through hotel

This is a beautiful place to stay beds are very comfortable rooms are really clean with your lovely coffee machine, chocolates on your pillow and gorgeous Orla kiely toiletries. Breakfast was fantastic. Highly recommend a visit

Its okay for the price. Had yelling people at 4:30 in the morning in the hallways. Rooms are small if your American. Good business center if needed.

Great hotel! neat rooms. We stayed here for 3 nights and every day our room was cleaned to perfection. The Rituals soap was a nice detail, as well as the usb ports next to the bed, Netflix on the TV and the air con. Everything was within walking distance and the bus connection was good. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Nice Hotel with modern room layout which I like, although would have preferred a walk in shower. Bed was huge and really comfortable. Wi-Fi (which is a modern day essential for me) was free and ok.
Service and food in the bar were great.
Its about a 20 minute walk from the town centre, which was fine for us, but might be too far for some.

I went to the Grand Canal Hotel as part of a 3 day stay. The hotel is well located (10 minutes walk from the center of Dublin, 5 minutes from the Aviva Stadium), the rooms are well appointed, provided and very nice (a cozy bed is always a plus). Regarding the service it is perfect in the agreement that I did not have to face particular problems.
