Accomodation help!

king_of_inismac

Hey guys,

My sister has to go to dublin at the wkend for a College course.

She can't find accommodation because of the U2 concert. She'd take a hotel room, B& B etc but within a short distance of the city centre (or within a short taxi drive).

anyone got any suggestions/ideas?

Thanks,
M

Want to narrow down an area, and what nights. What about a bit outside but getting a bus/luas/dart as that would help a lot.

Thanks Davy,

My Sisters will be working near the IFSC, so somewhere central would be preferable.

She doesn't know dublin at all really, so somewhere that doesn't require a lot of bus transfers would be great!

There are a good few coastal B&B's on the coast road in Clontarf, I hate B&B's myself, but sometimes you don't have an option. It's a straight walk/bus up the coast road, straight on to Fairview strand, straight on to Amiens st. and you are there.

My girlfriend had rented a room in ranelagh which had few students and the couple who own the house in it. Depending on the people, this usually is cheaper than a B&B. Find out how much it is to rent a room for weekends, not worth paying a fortune for hotel or B&B.

Edit: As far as i know, people do rent these rooms for a weekend.

Gone, all gone. They all have friday and saturday completely crossed out for this weekend. All bewleys... Leopardstown, ballsbridge etc... gone. Its very strange. Surely U2 cannot be causing all this. Ive gotten rooms no bother at last minute on all ireland final days.

Hi,
I booked the Raddisson at the airport last night for Friday. Was not cheap at about 180 for a double room but at least the airport bus will bring us in and out and we don't have to worry about parking or anything.

citywest hotel still hve rooms available for sat nite - U2 special, double room €79 breakfast ncluded (per room not per person)

You can book rooms thru http://www.visitdublin.com. One i found was a hotel in dunlaoighre which would be fine with the dart.

I just did a quick look on hostelworld there and i can't believe there is not one hostel free!


Have you tried Trinity I know they used to do B&B in the on campus, not in Dartry ones.

Heres a link which might be helpful

Hope she finds something!

try www.hostelworld.com

I just looked at it there and there is availability in ucd village which is well serviced by buses and is reasonably close to town

Deer Park Hotel in Howth should be cheap enough, it's 3 star. Near enough to the dart and has fantastic views.
