Cathedral and Dublin Castle is a bonus, but some rooms suffer from traffic noise. There
are cooking facilities and a cafe, and breakfast is included. Not for the faint-hearted.

stone's throw from Temple Bar and O'Connell Bridge, this modern hostel in a converted
church has a selection of tidy four- and six-bed rooms, one large dorm and 25 rooms with
private bathrooms. It's more like a small hotel, but without the price tag. A Continental-
style breakfast is included - a rare beast indeed for hostels. Maximum stay is six nights.

( 01-417 9900; www.paramounthotel.ie ; cnr Parliament St & Essex Gate; s/d €69/120; ; all city centre)
Behind the Victorian facade, the lobby is a faithful re-creation of a 1930s hotel, complete
with dark-wood floors, deep-red leather Chesterfield couches and heavy velvet drapes.
The 70-odd rooms don't quite bring The Maltese Falcon to mind, but they're handsomely
furnished and very comfortable. Downstairs is the Turk's Head ( Click here ) , one of the
area's most popular bars.
MORGAN HOTEL €€

( 01-643 7000; www.themorgan.com ; 10 Fleet St; r from €100; ; all city centre ) It was built to
attract the Spice Girls, now it just caters to girls (and guys) on a spicy weekend in Dublin.
No bad thing, of course, especially as the hotel has stood up well to the ravages of reces-
sion. Top-rate facilities, friendly staff and a bunch of online combo offers make this an at-
tractive option.
