The Grafton Hotel in Dublin

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.

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.

Great location, super walkable, and a lovely hotel. We stayed for one night after landing, and loved being able to walk across the bridge to Temple Bar.

Beautiful hotel. Excellent location!

Love this hotel, great location lovely staff and very comfortable rooms, I would highly recommend it.

Good atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Absolutely perfect stay! From arrival to (one day late) departure! The staff in both the hotel and Bartley’s bar and grill are top notch. Especially love people watching from the small outdoor ground floor terrace. (You can jusge the line at Bambino’s next door 🍕) location is a quick walk to St. Steven’s green, the National museum and gallery and St Patrick’s Cathedral where the first Irish Christians were baptized. Thank you! (Edit: there is a late night lounge in the basement, I’ll review that next stay! )

Superb central location. Excellent staff, brilliant stay, spotless too.

Lovely hotel in the city center, the rooms are quiet and fully furnished. I recommend

Pricey, but ticks all the boxes, particularly the good location
