This is a good base if you are in Dublin to shop, party or sightsee but not for a romantic break. It's five minutes walk from Temple Bar but far enough away to get a nights sleep. I stayed mid week and it was surprisingly quiet for a city centre hotel. I'm not sure what the weekends are like. The... More

Stayed for second time, first was ok. Staff completely rude & ignorant, everything was an effort. Meals less than ordinary and so much outside noise from music and people yelling it was impossible to sleep. Would not recommend to anyone which is a waste as it situated perfectly.

Pros: price was reasonable. Our room was very large and though not fancy, very clean and comfortable. Good bed, 2 sinks, enjoyed having tea in the room each morning. Location is excellent and for that reason I would consider staying again. We arrived very early in the morning. Able to enter room about 2:00 which was greatly appreciated! Cons: our... More

My wife and I stayed here on three different occasions in April 2013. As we traveled around Ireland we would make The Grafton Capital our base of operation upon returning to Dublin. The staff was excellent. They not only recommended local restaurants, pubs and historical areas to visit but also made reservations for us in Dingle and Doolin. It was... More

The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Dublin within walking distance of all sightseeing locations. Also, many pubs and restaurants are really close to the hotel. Unfortunately, the hotel is old and has not been refurbished for centuries. Bedroom is clean, in contrast to the rest of the hotel. If you find a cheap deal on booking.com or... More

This hotel was very close to shopping, eating, and bars. We easily walked to Temple Bar from here, as well as the Guinness storehouse and St. Patrick's cathedral. No Internet in the rooms which was a pain. Even in the common area Internet was hard to connect to. Lastly there is no parking though there is a parking garage a... More

We usually stay at Trinity Capital on Pearse street and I've always seen the two hotels linked in name,.. thinking they are sister hotels. In reality they are nothing alike. There is an American Western theme running throughout the hotel and I found it confusing. I didn't go to Ireland to see western themes, I can stay home for that.... More

This hotel is perfectly located for anyone who wants to explore central Dublin - only a few steps from Grafton Street. It has a lovely surprising private courtyard entrance. The rooms were clean and comfortable with hair dryer, iron and tea/coffee. I stayed mid week so did not experience the night club noise that others have commented on. I was... More
