    Hi,

    I'm staying in the Ardmore hotel at the weekend and was wondering where the nearest Starbucks was? I went onto the site and it gave address but didn't show them on the map.
    I don't know Dublin really well so can anyone give easy directions to the nearest one?

    It's a strange request but I gotta have my mocha!

    Thanks

    Do you know the Ardmore is about 5 miles outside the City Centre?

    You will need to get any of the buses across the road from the hotel in to the City and i think the nearest one is on Dame Street. About a twenty mins. walk from the bus stop

    There's a few scattered around the city centre, the one on College Green near Trinity College being the biggest one.

    Don't think there would be any near the Ardmore hotel though.

    You're staying in Finglas, the nearest will be College Green, Dublin Airport or Blanchardstown

    From there, get the 140 bus and get off at the stop just after trinity college, there's a starbucks on Dame st, opposite the front of trinity, and on Dawson St, opposite the side (arts) entrance to trinity.

    Loads of roadworks going on between Finglas and Blanchardstown atm. Best bet would be to use the m50. Head southbound from Finglas and get off at the next exit (N3). Take the third exit off the roundabout when you come to the top of the slip and go straight through the next roundabout. Take the next slip road and go straight through the lights at the top and that will bring you to the Blanchardstown Centre.
