There’s no denying that Dublin can be an expensive city to visit. And finding a hotel that fits comfortably within a budget can be a challenge, particularly in high season or at peak times. But don’t be discouraged – if you know where to look, you can often snag a (relative) bargain. There are slick hostels that have private rooms, if you’re not a fan of sharing, and peaceful townhouses just outside the city that offer a great deal, compared to the more central properties.
A word of warning, though – to say that Dublin hotel prices fluctuate is an understatement. When there’s a big gig taking place, or demand is simply high, the prices for even the basic hostels can skyrocket. The properties below are usually at the lower end of the scale, but that can’t be guaranteed – be prepared to shop around a little, and see who is offering the best price.
