Hotels in Dublin

Finding a hotel in Dublin is easier than hitting the proverbial barn door. The explosion of interest in Irish culture mixed with the wealth of the boom years meant that hotels were opening up almost every month. Since this period peaked, plateaued and has since started to decline, the hotels that have managed to ride out the slump are doing their best to keep clients happy. Not to mention, there’s plenty of opportunity to bag a bargain.

Choosing a hotel in Dublin

Picking the right hotel depends on your agenda and itinerary. If you’ll be staying in Dublin while you househunt and begin work it might be a good idea to find one close to work; less stress. If you’re coming to Dublin on vacation then the city centre is the place to be.

The Radisson Hotel takes it up another notch in the glamour stakes, and is around the corner from Trinity College so you can make like the boffins in your spare time.

Mid-range hotels in Dublin

The Burlington Hotel is an up-market hotel with recession-friendly prices: perfect if you’re in Dublin for a concert or need a place to stay when you come up from the country for a gig. (Note; Music promoters often think the rest of Ireland is empty so if you live outside Dublin and love music, prepare to travel!)

Blooms Hotel is right in Temple Bar, the heart of the party madness. If you’re here on a stag or need a central location, this could be your new home.
