What our guests say

"I recently stayed at the Academy Plaza Hotel for two nights and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. One of the highlights of my stay was dinner at the hotel restaurant. I ordered the ribeye steak with mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables, and the staff was more than happy to accommodate a change in sides from the menu, which I really appreciated. The meal was absolutely delicious. I also had a French martini that was truly memorable—the bartender added freeze-dried strawberries on top, which was such a creative and delightful touch. Both the food and drink exceeded my expectations. My room was a single, and while it wasn’t large, it was very clean and comfortable. I slept incredibly well, and I have to mention the shower—it was the hottest I experienced during my entire visit to Ireland, which was a welcome luxury after long days of exploring. In the morning, I enjoyed breakfast at the hotel and was impressed by the coffee machine. I had both a latte and a cappuccino, and both were excellent. The hotel’s location is another major plus. It’s centrally located, making it easy to walk to restaurants, shops, and sightseeing spots around Dublin. I hardly needed transportation during my stay because everything was so accessible. Overall, I had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Dublin. I will definitely be returning on my next trip!"

"The hotel is at a very convenient location. The breakfast was great. Our room was clean and comfortable and well equipped. The bathroom ceiling had a spot where the plaster was crumbling and fell down. Other than that, our short stay was wonderful. We'd absolutely stay here again."
