One thing that immediately stands out about Academy Plaza Hotel is the location. It’s easy to walk everywhere from the property. We had a bus tour outside Dublin and our meeting point was literally 4 minutes walking distance from the hotel. Another aspect that stands out and it was a huge surprise is the breakfast. They serve a great variety of options for all tastes. On top of that, it costs around 14 euros. However, if the guest buys the breakfast the day before on the front desk they will pay 12.50 euros. In any coffee shop around, 12.50 euros wouldn’t pay for more than one cup of coffee and one pastry. Trust me. Another highlight for me was the staff. The front desk team was spot on in all the information they provided and the restaurant team was impeccable. I would definitely stay there again if I had a chance.
