It's right in the centre near to all the shops, restaurants, bars and nightclubs. Temple Bar is just a 5 min walk away. Hotel is comfortable, rooms are spacious, very good Irish breakfast and service is correct. Can be noisy in the weekend as it is in the heart of Dublin and just above the Break for the border restaurant/bar. Just go out yourself and have a good time!

Despite its great location, friendly staff and charming building, the Grafton Capital Hotel was a dissapointment. It needs a major remodel, particularly the guest bathrooms. It took us nearly a half an hour to figure out the toilet and shower, not what we wanted to be doing on our last night in Ireland. Everything seemed to be covered in a layer of decade-old dirt and the linens felt either soiled or poorly laundered. Also, the whole place is just too dark, but we were unfortunately still able to see the abundance of grease on our breakfast meats.
