Customer Reviews

We booked the hotel for our group based on the location, in the middle of the city centre. Staff was super friendly and helpful from the start throughout our stay. Rooms were modern, breakfast was very good. We would recommend the hotel and thank again the staff for their assistance during our stay.

Welcoming, friendly, helpful is the overlying theme. As a regular "Solo" visitor to Dublin, the Academy Plaza Hotel is my usual first stop online for availability. It is wonderfully centrally located, doorstep onto Luas with easy access to business, attractions, & theatres. The hotel offers single rooms, at single rates. The expansive breakfast area is well appointed & amply caters to all tastes. I notice regular staff faces over the years, so they must find it rewarding to work there. For balance, a slight moan, some single rooms seem to be a little tight for the furniture compliment e.g. having to move chair. But overall, accommodation & food fare maintained by amiable, approachable staff, brings me home away from home, every time.

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.

Very nice stay for two nights. The rooms were clean and comfortable. I found the bed to be very firm but my partner was satisfied and slept well. My only complaint was that the coffee was abysmal but luckily there is a cafe in the lobby with delicious options available.
