Nice room. Very clean with good sized bathroom

Housekeeping woke us up by knocking on the door very loudly and continuously at 8.30am. When we didnt answer, they actually opened the door to come into the room. They knocked loudly and continuously again at 9.30 am and on the way up from breakfast asked us what time we would be checking out at. Check out wasn't until 11am. I dont think that the morning of your stay should feel like they are rushing you out the door.

The hotel is within walking distance of the main attractions and public transport. The staff is friendly and helpful but not intrusive. Breakfast is available at the hotel. The room is clean and cozy, with a comfortable temperature. Everything you need for a short stay is provided, including a hairdryer, a kettle, tea, coffee, and cream.

The soundproofing could be better, or there could be clearer rules of conduct for guests who choose to resolve their family issues in public spaces in the middle of the night (though this is more about the upbringing of certain guests than a fault of the hotel). Having a heated towel rail in the room would also be nice.

Had weetabix and a fry

Very few pastries no hash browns or porridge

The location was so convenient I canceled a booking at another facility for my return to Dublin and booked into the Academy Plaza again! Even though construction was going on on the ground floor, my rooms were small but very quiet and comfortable. In my second room I had trouble with the heating and a staff member brought a space heater to me. It never did get warm so I ran the space heater the entire time. But everything else was great.

I'd skip the breakfast buffet next time. It was pretty ordinary eggs/sausage/beans/tomatoes/toast/cereal/coffee. Not a lot of fresh fruit. But it did the job.

Location

I have used booking.com for at least 50 hotel stays and have never requested a change or cancel a room. On this occasion I had booked a non refundable room and I did request a change of date as 2 people had to cancel. This was not facilitated. I cannot understand this as it was the All Ireland final weekend and the room would have been filled. We stayed for the night as I did not want to loose 325e for the quadruple room but only 2 of us could travel. Why could a change of date not be facilitated? I understand it was a non refundable room but this has really disappointed me. I have deleted the booking.com app from my phone and will use another search engine in the future.

I liked the hotel a lot; The hotel and the room was comfy and felt modern, the staff were very friendly, the location is great specially if you are using Aircoach to travel from/to the Airport since O'connel's bus stop is 2 mns from the Hotel. Ate the breakfast once. It was good but it's the same as most hotels so I decided to skip it the remaining days. There's decent coffees near the hotel for a different breakfast experience. The hotel is being renovated but only heard noises during the day time. If like me, you are only in the hotel mostly for sleeping, it won't affect you.

Nothing particularly concerning the Hotel, but O'Connel is getting rough. Economic problems are getting worst and you can see it in the people.

I love the hotel we have stopped here 3 other times. I would come here again but not stop in the room we were in. Staff friendly the breakfast buffet is amazing

Being here 3 other times we were in room 129 and out of the rooms we have stopped in this was our least favourite. We had in our room 1 double bed and 2 singles. One of the bed close to the window was so uncomfortable not like the other beds. So me as mum i slept on that. On arrival out room floor was quite dirty. I always thought it was good for the mo ey but what i paid this time i didnt think it was.

Absolutely brilliant, I've recently hurt my knee and struggling to get about. The young lady on the desk was lovely and told me she had me upgraded to a bigger room which I thought was a lovely touch. When I got to the room , right enough the room was nicer than the one I'd stayed in a few weeks ago, but the best surprise was finding the fold up chair in the shower and bar at the toilet ... something so small but made my stay so much easier as I was trying to figure out how I'd manage a shower without my partner to help me as this was a solo trip. 10/10

Everything was lovely. Staff, location. Goin to a concert in the 3 Arena. So everything on hand, from taxi rank to the luas to the buses. Nice pubs n cafes near by. Even a centre shop across the road for small essentils. Can't comment on food, as we eat out. Didn't book breakfast, but am sure it would've been fine. Was told about this hotel from a friend, will most definatly be booking again and advising others about it.

The only fault I did have, was the room was cold. Downstairs in the reception, lounge n lobby was lovely, but tempeture in our room was a bit chilly. Other than that, perfect!!

The room was really clean and comfortable even if it was a bit small. I liked the view outside the window. I liked the window above the head of the bed. I loved the room services every morning. They tidy up you room and they provide you to new caffè, te, and all that you need to make you room as it was when you arrived.

What I really don't like was the noise outside the room. Beetwen the rooms the soundproofing was really good, but if there were somebody in the hallway talking or laughing you could ear all their conversations. It was a bit distubing, expecially during the night.
