Our stay at the Best Western Academy Plaza hotel was most enjoyable. The highlight was the meal we had in the Asian Abacus Restaurant within the hotel The food, service and decor were second to none. Our meals were outstanding. We have not stopped talking about it since. Would highly recommend this restaurant - in particular the best calamari I... more

Arrived 20/8/08 and cannot fault this hotel at all. Everything about it was first class and location was excellent. Just off o'connell st and a 10 minute walk to temple bar. Aircoach stops virtually outside and so does the city tour bus. Enjoyed Dublin immensely (especially The KIllers!!) but wont be returning as i can't afford to remortgage the house... more

My wife and I are seniors and we stayed at this hotel for 6 nights in August 2008. Our stay was great and we could not fault the hotel on anything.

This bed arrangement was not specified... more

The hotel is situated just off O'Connell Street making it ideal for shopping, buses and tourist attractions. We found the room to be small though adequate and spotlessly clean and modern. We ate in Sir Harry's Bar on a couple of occassions. Whilst the food was good and prices in line with the average around Dublin the service was very... more

Great prize/value and perfect for walking the town. Staff is friendly and the rooms are all refurbished and clean. Nice bar off the Lobby. Taxi, Bus and sightseeingbus right outside the hotel. We enjoyed our stay! more

This 4 star hotel is excellent. The location could not be better. The Airbus will drop you a couple of minutes walk from the hotel. On the same road you can catch a Dublin bus or the "Hop on hop off" buses to view the city. The room was very clean, with a lovely bathroom. The bed had a memory... more
