Pros:

The staff was so friendly & helpful. The food in the restaurant was very good and our bartender Andrew was spot on. We asked him for recommendations of other places to eat for lunch & it was very good. The Grafton is soooo close to everything. All major attractions are within 10 mins walk. The Shopping District is so close & has all kinds of stores, pubs, restaurants etc. Guinness was a bit further but cheap taxi fare. Rooms were spacious, had A/C which isn’t always the case in Ireland. Loved the lobby to sit. I highly recommend The Grafton
