“Grand Canal business stay”
In a safe Docklands-feeling area near the tech offices — the DART a hundred metres and two stops to the river, buses to the centre every ten-plus minutes, everywhere walkable — Grand Canal Hotel is a lovely good-choice stay: a big very clean room, easy check-in with an early room available, a delicious very tasty restaurant and breakfast, rare-for-Ireland AC, good service levels suiting business travel and lovely staff, highly recommended. Notes: few dining options sit nearby, and a requested pair of slippers took an hour to arrive.
