included.

North of the Liffey
There is a scattering of good midrange options between O'Connell St and Smithfield.
Gardiner St, to the east of O'Connell St, is the the traditional B&B district of town, but
you're better off sticking to the southern end of the street where the properties are better
and the street is safer.

200-year-old wine vault just around the corner from the main bus station. With summer
barbecues, live music in the lounge, internet access and colourful dorms, this terrific place
