If you take the route ClubMan suggested below, you can also get the 111 feederbus from Dun Laoghaire Dart station to Rochestown Lodge Hotel/Killiney Shopping Center end of Rochestown Ave. Or from DL station you can also get the 46A to the Baker's Corner end.
the number 7, which goes from O'Connell St, stops practically outside the Rochestown Lodge Hotel. I think that's your best bet. Rochestown Ave isn't really Dun Laoghaire, it's Killiney/Ballybrack but the postal address is Dun Laoghaire.
The alternative is the Dart to Dun Laoghaire then the 111 bus, which also stops outside the hotel.
A taxi from Dun Laoghaire Dart station will cost about €10-€13.
Is it the North or Southbound route I am taking? Sorry i'm from Limerick so
I don't want to end up going completly the wrong way once I get to O' Connell Street.
Would it be enough to just say to the drive Rochestown Avenue Dun Laoghaire or would he/she not have a clue what i'm talking about?
Anymore info ye could give would be great.

You are going south about 10 miles.
The drivers should know Rochestown Ave - it's a pretty large road.
They will also more than likely know the hotel (but might refer to it as the Victor Hotel, which is it's previous name). The hotel is on the main road, so you cant miss it.
If they ask you which end of Rochestown Ave, just mention the hotel, and they'll know where you mean.
If you get the number 7 from O'Connell St, it'll take up to an hour (you'll go through Ballsbridge, Blackrock, Dun Laoghaire and Sallynoggin before getting to it.)
If you get the Dart to Dun Laoghaire and the 111, it'll take about 15 mins from the train station.
Rochestown Lodge is closer to the Killiney end of Rochestown Ave - so the 46A to Baker's Corner would leave you with a sizeable walk -
however see attached link for all the buses that run the length of Rochestown Ave [broken link removed]
