Being a bit removed from the most touristy parts of Dublin suited me but still totally walkable within 20 or 30 minutes to where all the action is at Temple Bar and Trinity College. The restaurant and dining options at the hotel were excellent and the food delicious.

Not the best view from the room but I should have done more research on the area for a better hotel. The room was extremely hot and never seemed to cool down.

Stayed here on our first 2 nights in Ireland. Picked this for the good reviews and location to the airport and the Shelbourne Greyhound Park, since we were going there for night out and wanted to walk. There are a couple of pubs and restaurants within 3 blocks. Plus, the hotel pub and restaurant were nice. We had a room for 3 with breakfast. Thought it was a good value. The bathroom was nice but the room did get hot. They provide a fan which we used. Was warmer the days we were there. Seem to have enough parking. Lots of tours start off or use this hotel. Was busier than expected. Staff extremely helpful with taxis and recommendations. Takes about 20-30 mins to walk to the main action, but a tram is right across the street. Would stay here again.

This was our second time staying at the Grand Canal. It was wonderful then, and it was wonderful again. Staff was super! Rooms were clean and had all the necessities needed for travel. We did stop at the bar and restaurant for drinks and some appetizers. Staff there was great also. Convenient to bus, or walking to sites. Definitely worthy when you are looking for a place in Dublin.
