Hotels and hostels in Dublin are charging up to €1,664 for a double room on St Patrick’s Day.
Most accommodation in the capital is booked up for March 17 and the remaining rooms on offer are going for hugely inflated prices. One city centre hostel is offering a ‘king room’ with two single beds and three bunk beds for double occupancy for €1,664 for the night.
According to its listing on booking.com the “ground floor snug” has a view of a lake – though it is situated 350 yards from the city centre. The same accommodation is priced at an average of €304 for any other Friday night.
