Aviva Stadium reopened its doors on 14th May 2010 and has a seated capacity of 51,700. The original multi discipline ground was in existence at the Lansdowne Road site since 1872. In its old incarnation, prior to closure in December 2006, it was the oldest rugby union ground worldwide & oldest sports stadium in Europe.

Aviva Stadium is now the home to the Irish national rugby and Republic of Ireland national football team and is a beautfully constructed stadium.

Each tour lasts an hour and is perfect for corporate groups, sporting enthusiasts or historians.

Guest Review, TripAdvisor October 2022

"Really enjoyed our 3 night stay in this hotel. It is ideally located in a nice quiet neighbourhood, a few minutes walk from the Aviva Stadium and Dart service and within easy walking distance of the sea, beach and nature reserve. Our room on the first floor was top notch, clean, modern and extremely quiet. We were really pleased with the abundant furniture in our the room and the high level of hygiene and sanitation throughout the hotel. Breakfast is a generous and delicious affair and the service in the dining room is excellent. We found every single staff member there pleasant and helpful and this generated a warm and friendly atmosphere through our stay."

The Sandymount hotel is a short walk to Aviva stadium and the Lansdowne DART station which is 2 stops from the City center. We enjoyed the full Irish breakfast and friendly service from the hotel staff. The hotel is quiet and away from the crowds and noise of the Temple Bar district. We arrived in the morning after an overnight flight and asked to store our luggage until time for check-in. However, our room was already available so we were able to check in early for no additional charge!
