Am travelling to Dublin on Saturday & require Hotel in the city centre for one night (2 people). Requirement is that its clean & good value - not required for a romantic tryst - just a night's kip & decent breakfast. Any recommendations very welcome.
Hard to beat Bewleys in Ballsbridge, if its near enough for you. Fixed room rate of around 100euro per night. Excellent location, good restuarant and bars, and very pleasant and new.
Stayed in Jury's Christchurch and it was good. If that is booked Clarion at Liffey Valley had rooms up to yesterday and its not that far out of town for the weekend that's in it.
For city centre location but very basic accomodation try Paramount Hotel , Templebar, at the Turks Head. Its been recently renovated and the rooms are clean & nicely decorated.
Stayed there last year on Friday very close to Christmas when lots of parties on, ( thats what I was doing too). Only € 67 for the room, so as there was two of us € 33.50 each. THought that was very reasonable & no taxi back required either.
