Calla, Mar 2022

The Grafton has an excellent location within walking distance to most of the important tourist sites in Dublin as well as near shopping, the restaurant district and bar districts. Not noisy at all, very clean and with courteous staff. The bed, pillow and sheets were wonderful. Would have had a 5 for comfort excepting that the room was a little cold and although you could adjust the room temp, it didn’t stay adjusted. The water temperature was also on the cool side.
