Loved by The Grafton Hotel guests
"The Grafton Hotel is located in a perfect spot for easy access to The Temple Bar, Trinity College, and Grafton Street."
"Beautifully appointed rooms with comfortable king bed, a generous size shower cubicle that houses a shower with constant hot water and great pressure - the holy grail in many a hotel room."
"A leather loveseat from the 90's was a fixture in both and served no real purpose other than to crowd the narrow desk and chair."

Convenient Stay

The staff showed they were very friendly, always offering a smile. My superior king room had a spacious feel, and the bed felt really comfortable. Location scored high. I found many restaurants and pubs within easy WALKING distance. I greatly appreciated being able to walk to destinations so easily.
The parking situation created some problems. Website information indicated arrangements with a nearby car park and a max cost, but my experience differed. I ended up paying more, and that difference caused some FRUSTRATION. Accurate information is important.
