Best Location

Academy Plaza Hotel occupies an unassuming spot in Parnell Square, the kind of address you only find by recommendation or by a careful read of guest reviews. The strong location score reflects what guests actually feel on arrival, barely a stroll from the centre of Dublin, with the kind of rhythm a city traveller tends to want. Inside, the rooms are practical, and guests pick out on-site parking, reliable wi-fi and an in-house restaurant as the small things that add up over a stay. With well over 7,500 reviews on the books and a strong average, the reception from guests does most of the talking here. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Pricing has been sitting near €165 a night and the value score puts it in a middle-of-the-road bracket compared with similar properties. Whether Academy Plaza Hotel is the right fit depends on the trip, but it earns a place on the comparison shortlist for Dublin more often than not.
