Sleeping
Like most cities, the closer to the city centre you want to stay, the more you'll pay - and the room sizes get smaller ac-
cordingly. Budget travellers will largely be confined to the handful of good hostels in the city. Although there are some
good midrange options north of the Liffey, the biggest spread of accommodation is south of the river, ranging from eleg-
ant Georgian townhouses in the midrange bracket to the city's top hotels. There's also a range of excellent options in the
circular belt of suburbs immediately south of the city centre. Prices go up dramatically at peak times, such as during
summer and festivals.
