Could anyone name any of the booking agencies that I could try to get a fairly central hotel for a fairly reasonable price?
I have seen plenty of hotels that have the Fri night relatively cheap, but the Sat night are either booked or crazy prices. So much for the recession !! I would say a large number of Dublin hotels are fully booked for next Sat night.
I have tried hotels.com, venere.com, ryanairhotels.com, octopustravel.co.uk - anyone know any others?
Depends what you mean by reasonable. Is it just a bed for the weekend
I had a look at hotwire.com (300 euro dublin north) and
travelsupermarket.com which gave a few decent enough choices including
the Mespil hotel for 194 total
Fleet St Hotel Temple Bar Dublin 142 total
Depends where you are planning to go and do..
