I stayed at this hotel for eight nights in May 2012. As so many other reviewers have pointed out, this hotel is in a great location for touring Dublin and the region. The Airlink 747 bus coming from the airport stops right across Cathal Brugha Street from the hotel, as also does the Dublin Bus green HOHO bus tour. If... More

Located in the city center, the hotel was clean and reasonably priced. The location was selected by Irish Tourism Dot Com as part of a self driven 7 day tour, but we chose to stay there for two extra days after making a side trip to Edinborugh. The in room brochure indicates free access to the internet via a terminal... More

Good location on O'Connell Street, easy and frequent buses to the airport, and nearby pickups on O'Connell for day trip tours to major attractions. Staff was more than helpful and courteous. Clean, modern rooms. Trinity College maybe 8 minute walk, Temple Bar, a few minutes more. More

We stayed at this hotel twice during our two weeks in Ireland for a total of 5 nights. The manager, Peter had been extremely helpful via twitter and email to help me get rooms booked and ensure that my stay would be great. He even marked down an early check in for us as I knew we'd be tired after... More

We were excited to find a Best Western hotel in the world that wasn't a total wreck.* It was quiet, which was a great upgrade from the other preposterously noisy hotel we stayed in the week prior (Dublin Citi Hotel). The room was EXTREMELY tiny, but that's typical for European hotels. Only one of us could move about it at... More

My eldest and I were just in Ireland and chose the Best Western Plus, Academy Plaza for our first night. It turned out to be a good choice. Booking on line was easy and accurate. The airport shuttle bus stops right in front of the hotel just off of O'Connell Street. The staff were polite and professional and were able... More

I have stayed in this hotel many times and I am always satisified. The rooms are small but very clean. I have had problems with the soap despensers in the bathroom, but other than that, everything in the room works fine. I was a bit disappointed that the Abacus restaurant had closed and that John the barman had retired since... More
