Location
The Best Western Academy Plaza Hotel is situated at 10-14 Findlater Place, just off O'Connell Street, in the heart of Dublin city. It is just a short stroll from the very best of international shopping, Temple bar, Trinity college, St. Stephens Green, galleries and famous city sights.The Academy Plaza is within minutes of the IFSC and business district. The air coach and the Dublin city bus tour leave from right beside the hotel and Dublin's central bus station and main train station are both within 8 minutes walking distance. The city's new light rail system, LUAS, is only a 5 minute stroll and is a great way of getting to some of Dublin best tourist attractions.
Rooms
The bedrooms at the Best Western Academy Plaza hotel are decorated in strikingly stylish and rich colours. The carpets are a modern take on a traditional squared design and incorporate strong reds and blacks. The walls are a relaxing and sophisticated beige which blends in an almost enchanting unison with the cream net window dressings and warm rust curtains. The beds incorporate black leather headboards and are finished with solid wood bedside units with reading lamps and a streamline telephone.Additional furnishings include a solid wood integrated work-desk with a modern styled black and cream coloured chair, a round glass-topped occasional table with a solid chrome base and a comfortable arm-chair with matching colours to the work-desk chair.
The rooms create an inspired blend of colours which works to create an energetic fusion of modernity while simultaneously recognising and reflecting some of the finer points of a traditional hotel experience.
The contemporary en suite has been decorated in high quality beige coloured tiles throughout and a silk-feel cream coloured shower curtain in bath or walk-in shower. The white sink unit has a solid black marble surround.

Great location, but otherwise unremarkable. Didn't eat in any of the restaurants. Nice lobby, but rooms kind of shabby, also very stuffy. Our shower head didn't work the first day. Front desk staff polite and somewhat helpful. Internet access in lobby was nice. Probably could have picked a better hotel in Dublin.
