    we are going to the point and we want to stay in the city (so we can go for a few drinks after) but near enough to the point too....(does that make any sence?) sorry i have no clue how far the point is from the city centre...
    any suggestions from everyone....please?? oh and fairly cheap too...

    It's about a 10 - 15 minute walk along the quays to the city centre from the Point... There's a Jury's on the quays there too.. could be worth checking there.

    ok thanks monkeyfudge...that was full for friday nite though.

    do you think if we got a hotel in the city centre would it be easy to get there by taxi from the point? what area's would be the best i.e i dont even know if we should be staying in dublin 1,2,3,4 or whatever....?

    thanks

    D1 and D2 are the city centre immediately North and South of the Liffey.

    Traffic to and from the Point is always absolutely horrible as it's quite a bottle neck with a concert on, it would cost you a fortune in a taxi... so I'd suggest getting into the city centre and walking up the quays to The Point.

    Ah yes.. that's next to the Bleeding Horse pub... Not too much of a walk to the city centre... you should be fine.

    depends.. that's a long street... If it's Lower Leeson Street then that's right next to St. Stephens Green.

    Oh I'm sure they're both nice... but Leeson street would be a posher end of town.. although the too locations would be too far away from each other.

    Both areas are fine though.
