Spacious room but lacked storage. Lived out of a suitcase. Bathroom was tiny but water pressure was great in shower. Only body wash provided. If windows opened then it was loud due to street cleaning, garbage pick up early mornings. Closed windows and no outside noise. Area a little sketchy but a few minute walk and you are on a main street and close to taxi, tram, busses etc. Good value. Great staff.

Academy plaza is a reasonably priced hotel. If all you need is a safe play to sleep, this is a good option. It is not luxurious but very convenient hotel.

Modern hotel in the heart of Dublin. The only thing I would mark down on was the temperature of some of the breakfast items(bacon, eggs). But selection was great. We will stay again.
