    Hi Guys,
    Wondering how much would a taxi be from Mount Herbert Hotel to Olympia? Also is it easy to get a taxi after concert at Olympia?
    Obviously not familiar with Dublin at all.
    Thanks:D:D:D

    maybe €12? also there are more taxis in Dublin than humans so no bother getting home.

    You won't have a problem. Finding a taxi at the Olympia but you might find it difficult o find one that isn't blocked in by all the other taxis desperately looking for a fare.

    Hasn't the Mount Herbert changed its name?

    It's changed to Sandymount Hotel; still in the same place on Herbert Road which is a continuation of Lansdowne Road and only a short stroll from the eponymous DART station (if that's what you mean).

    If of course you mean the Herbert Park Hotel then that's a different ball game!

    No buddy,
    It's not The Herbert Park Hotel. I actually meant Hueston Station.:o
    Thanks again.

    It's about as far from Heuston Station as it is possible to get within central Dublin. If you have no luggage, you could take the Luas red line to the Point and then have a stroll over the East Link to the hotel. Probably 1.5mile walk. Otherwise, I don't think that there are any direct bus routes.

    You could walk to Leeson St and get the 145 from there to Heuston.

    Drops you right outside the station. Fare is €1.90 from Leeson St.

    Would a Taxi be expensive as time could be an issue.
    Thanks again, appreciate it.
