Boland's in Dublin

28/07/2025: good not great, based exclusively on the rooms. they're fine but after 2 weeks around france and ireland this was our least favorite stay. the staff were great, the location is as close as you can get to being in the heart of everything, but the rooms felt smaller than pictured and felt like the most american chain hotel we came across. they were very accommodating and split a king bed into two twins so we could keep our terrace room but the view was just of another building. i think this place would be great for families or larger parties, but if you're looking for a more boutique experience, for the price, i would look elsewhere. 4/5.

24/07/2025: Stayed here for 4 nights in July 2025, prior to which we stayed at the Intercon and the Morgan. Of the 3, Grafton had the best quality breakfast. Enjoyed the scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, honeycomb, mixed fruit and made-to-order iced mocha amongst others. Selection could be wider but that's a gripe we had across all 3 hotels, so perhaps it's a Dublin thing. We also enjoyed a Cheeky Tiki at the beautiful bar counter. The in-room Malin-Goetz toiletries were also a nice touch and the water pressure was great. Last but not least, we felt very taken care of by a Mr Noel R., a kindly gentleman who got our 4 very large suitcases to our room. At the end of our stay, he happened to be on our floor and helped us bring them all straight to the front door. We felt very welcome here and would certainly stay again.
