    Is there any website or tips I can use to get a decent price for an overnight in Dublin airport hotel that has a shuttle to Terminal 1 the next morning? I need to stay there mid-September on a Saturday night as I have an early flight next day and no matter which one I pick from hotelscombined booking.com etc Im getting mad prices for just 1 night no breakfast, like 200euros!

    Any tips on how to get a decent room but not break the bank before my holiday begins?!

    Any city centre hotel or north Dublin hotel will have an Aircoach going past it. Only 28 minutes to the IFSC from Dublin.
    Or try ringing the Radisson and ask for a commercial rate. Try saying you are with the ESB....

    Try other hotels just outside with good shuttle buses.
    Bewleys Clayton is another I've mentioned before and has good reviews.
    Should get for considerably cheaper.

    We stayed in the Premier Inn over the Easter Holidays for one night and it cost €82, we also availed of the 2 course dinner with a drink - wine, beer or soft drink and a buffet breakfast next morning for €31.50pp.

    There's a shuttle bus to the airport and it's €2 each way.

    stayed at the premier inn for as little as €65 recently, but you have to book in advance and book on their website. They might not even be offering their rooms on 3rd party websites, which could be why youre not seeing their offers.

    Dublin is general is crazy expensive again. You might be lucky and grab a €50-60 room in Premier inn or travelodge months ahead these days. Saturday night is unfortunately the worst by far.

    Try airbnb., can sometimes find places for 50-60 euro in North Dublin

    Bus eireann has over-night buses from certain towns. Ballina via Longford leaves at 1am arriving airport just after 4.30am

    That’s great value all right. The only disadvantage with the Premier Inn is that if you’re arriving by car you can’t leave the car in their car park for the duration of your trip unlike the Clayton.

    Bingo! Got a room for 85euros but they wanted an extra 12 euros for breakfast which is a bit much! I went for the room only and yes, booked right through their website to get it. Thanks. :)

    The Premier Inn breakfast only starts at 5.30am for 'continental' and 6.30am for buffet so if you've an early flight it's just as well you didn't book it.

    I think their 1st shuttle is at 4.15am.

    They are extortionate in the summer months.
    You would be better off staying somewhere else and getting the Aircoach out
