“For Dublin, finding a reasonably priced hotel can be a task, but Grand Canal Hotel strikes a smart balance; it's a comfortable 20-minute walk to Trinity College, plus you have easy access to public transport. I was impressed by the spacious, very clean rooms, and that late-night burger from the restaurant downstairs was surprisingly memorable. I'd certainly consider it again for its blend of value and convenient location.”
