    Isaacs would be a good option. Busáras is just a couple of minutes walk away.

    The Generator in Smithfield is supposed to be v good.
    Could get luas down / back.
    (never stayed there, but stayed in ones in London)

    Generator is by far the nicest in Dublin but its a bit of a walk to Busáras from there. The bar at Generator is really cool they have a chandelier made from Jameson bottles looks really cool.

    Cheers for replies, Smithfield would be too far out I'd say, Isaacs won't tell me if they
    Have single Rooms available for Saturday or not atm on there website, I should ring them I guess.

    Any other suggestions?

    +1 for Smithfield, it's hella cool and as was previously mentioned you could hop on a Luas and be at Busaras in no time :)

    I don't know of any others in Dublin that would be closer so sorry if that's no help!

    Maybe not but it's a 20-minute walk or a 10-minute Luas journey to Busaras. And we're only trying to help! :confused:

    Smithfield wouldn't strictly be City Centre but Dublin City Centre is tiny. Taking the Luas it wouldn't take you look at all to get to Busarus and I would imagine would be the most comfortable of the Hostels never stayed there but when you walk in it certainly isn't just another random hostel I presume that is reflected in the price too.

    Neil Diamond is in town everything will be gone! Any time I am in Smithfield Generator seems to always be really busy guessing you have to book quite far in advance if you don't want to share.

    Its the same every weekend there is almost always at least one big gig on given its Neil Diamond I would have actually thought it would be easier than normal I can't imagine his fans are used to hostel thickness mattresses! You could always try Air BnB. I don't think most hostels have many single rooms so I would imagine they are booked out pretty far ahead of time.

    Isaacs is actually quite a nice place to stay.
    Smithfield would be a good 20 minute walk from Busaras or you can get the Luas which stops right outside.

    Would couchsurfing be an option? I don't have an account anymore but it's possible someone would have a free couch for a night :)
