Where to Stay
Neighbourhood
For
Against
GRAFTON
STREET &
AROUND
Close to sights, nightlife, everything; a
good choice of midrange and top-end ho-
tels.
Generally more expensive than elsewhere; not al-
ways good value for money.
MERRION
SQUARE &
AROUND
Lovely neighbourhood, elegant hotels
and townhouse accommodation.
Not a lot of choice; virtually no budget accom-
modation.
In the heart of the action; close to
everything.
Noisy and touristy; not especially good value for
money.
TEMPLE BAR
KILMAINHAM &
THE LIBERTIES
Close to the old city.
No good accommodation.
Budget accommodation not always good quality;
some locations not especially comfortable after
dark.
NORTH OF THE
LIFFEY
Good range of choice; within walking
distance of sights and nightlife.
DOCKLANDS &
THE GRAND
CANAL
Excellent contemporary hotels with good
service.
Isolated in a neighbourhood that doesn't have a lot
of life after dark.
Grafton Street & Around
Grafton St itself has only one hotel - one of the city's best - but you'll find a host of
choices in the area surrounding it. Not surprisingly, being so close to the choicest street in
town comes at a premium, but the competition for business is fierce, which ensures qual-
ity is top rate.
