A good value hotel?

shayser

Me and a partner are going to an exhibition in the RDS on 10/11 November. I need to book hotel accommodation for both nights but everything seems very expensive. This is what I've got so far (good hotels I know):

Jurys: €357
Burlington: €438
Herbert Park: €585
Four Seasons: €760
Roxford: €500

These prices are for both nights, double room, room only.

Anyone know where I might go for better value?

Will be going out for a few in the city centre both nights too.

throw your dates into www.hotels.com
I always find it good when travelling and they're bound to have good deals for here.

Does the hotel have to be in the RDS area or are you prepared to travel a bit...?

In most city centre (2** or 3***) hotels you should be able to get €95 per night twin room.

Have a look at the Harding Hotel in Fishamble St. Stayed there a few times myself, very cheap, fantastic staff and entertainment from Friday through to Sundays.

the prices you were quoted are mad!,was gonna recomend blooms hotel myself. usually have rooms for 100 or less per night . hop on the number 7 from town and you should be at the RDS in no time.

Thanks for the replies.

whiskeyman, hotels.com is quoting Stillorgan Park at €110 per night. Best so far.
Dub13.. the plan is to go out in temple bar on the two nights. How far is this from the RDS?
Thanks Mairt but the Harding is full on the dates. Same story with Blooms.

Try Jury's Croke Park.

Also you'd need a taxi to RDS and then to Town. Stillorgan -> Temple Bar circa 25 ?

Croke Park -> RDS probably 25 in a Taxi too!


Thy the Quality Hotel on Cardiff lane - its at the very end of Pearse st - so easy walking distance to the RDS. This is a newish hotel and has quite reasonable room rates

Alternatively the Ripley Court on Talbot st. (Behind Busarus)
Its in a kind of Ethnic area... but seemed quite safe when i used to stay there...

Or Jurys inn on parnell st, or Jurys and the Clarion in the IFSC are also usually quite reasonable

You should check out The Mespil Hotel

That's what you get for coming to Dublin the weekend of a rugby match.

Irl v South Africa on the Saturday

WizZard

Plenty for €99 euro or less per night from a search on www.centralr.com

shayser

Didn't know about the rugby. Will need to get a move on.

Thanks WizZard, that must list every hotel in Dublin. Just looking now...

Looks like the city centre premium is quite high.

I'd recommend the Harding Hotel, Fishample St.

http://www.hardinghotel.ie/

Huge rooms, with walk in showers!. It was orignally designed as a hostel with 8 person rooms, hense then huge rooms. Staff are extremly friendly and there's entertainment Fri night, Saturday from 4pm until 12:30am and again Sunday from 4pm to 9:30pm.

Oh, if thats a rugby weekend you'll need to get the finger out!.

Bewley's Hotel is literally next door to the RDS and they normally have a sign up with a fixed price per room (€99 I think), so that may be worth checking if it's available.

Thanks all, brilliant response. Got in at the Mespil for €125 per night inc. free parking.
