We wanted to wander the charming streets, soak up the legendary pub atmosphere, and of course visit the famous Guinness Storehouse, which had <strong>rave reviews on TripAdvisor<\/strong>. Our three-day trip turned out to be absolutely wonderful, but right from the start of planning, we ran into one major issue that caught us completely off guard \u2014 choosing the right Dublin area to stay in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dublin is genuinely one of the pricier cities in Europe, and <strong>accommodation prices can really sting<\/strong>. During our search, we found plenty of affordable and lovely hotels, but they were all <strong>booked out months in advance<\/strong>. In the end, Academy Plaza Hotel became our home base for the entire stay, saving us with its fantastic location. And to keep our budget in check, we regularly <strong>picked up dinners from the Lidl around the corner<\/strong>, which easily saved us several dozen euros a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article, we&#8217;ll walk you through the <strong>best neighborhoods and specific hotels<\/strong> where you can rest your head. Whether you&#8217;re looking for a peaceful spot for families, a luxurious historic gem, or a budget-friendly option for backpackers, you&#8217;ll find the perfect match in our curated selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> You can compare Dublin accommodation options all in one place \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=kde-bydlet-v-dublinu&#038;address=Dublin%2C%20Irsko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">check availability and prices in Dublin here<\/a>.

Decide based on whether you want to party into the small hours or get a peaceful night&#8217;s sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Temple Bar<\/strong> is without doubt the most famous and most photographed part of the entire city. Everything is within walking distance and in the evening it&#8217;s by far the liveliest spot around. There&#8217;s one massive catch, though \u2014 the <strong>deafening noise from pubs and the streets until two or three in the morning<\/strong>. On top of that, <strong>drinks here cost twenty to thirty percent more<\/strong> than in the rest of the city. It&#8217;s a great pick for a short weekend of nightlife, but for families with kids, light sleepers, and budget-conscious travellers, it&#8217;s frankly a terrible address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>St Stephen&#8217;s Green and Grafton Street<\/strong> are hands down the <strong>best choice for a first visit<\/strong>. This area is very safe, beautifully central, and everything is easily walkable. Trinity College, Dublin Castle, the buzzing Temple Bar, and the National Gallery are all <strong>within a fifteen-minute stroll at most<\/strong>. You&#8217;ll find the best shopping options and most of the luxurious historic hotels here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Docklands and IFSC<\/strong> is a former industrial zone that has transformed in recent years into a modern tech hub. It&#8217;s home to multinational corporations, and you&#8217;ll mainly find modern hotels here that <strong>primarily cater to business travellers<\/strong>. The upside is that you can walk to the popular EPIC museum and the massive convention centre with its music venue from here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Smithfield<\/strong> is a noticeably quieter neighbourhood that still maintains excellent access to the heart of the action. It offers a very <strong>good balance of price and quality<\/strong> and sits right next to the popular Jameson Distillery, a major draw for tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rathmines<\/strong> is a lively suburb south of the centre that you&#8217;ll love for its local vibe. You&#8217;ll find <strong>fantastic independent restaurants and charming little shops<\/strong> that don&#8217;t feel touristy at all. Accommodation is significantly cheaper here, but you&#8217;ll need to factor in commuting to the main sights by public transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_Visit_and_When_to_Book\"><\/span>When to Visit and When to Book<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ireland is beautiful all year round, but when it comes to accommodation prices, be prepared for <strong>fairly high rates in 2026<\/strong>. If you&#8217;re looking for the cheapest option, a bed in a shared hostel room runs around \u20ac25 to \u20ac50 per night. Mid-range hotels and a standard double room sit between \u20ac100 and \u20ac180, while five-star luxury will set you back anywhere from \u20ac350 to \u20ac700 or even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The single most important rule is that accommodation here <strong>books up extremely far in advance<\/strong>. As I mentioned at the beginning, when we were planning our trip, we found plenty of beautiful and reasonably priced hotels that were completely sold out even several months before our arrival. So don&#8217;t leave your reservation to the last minute. If you want to save money for experiences, I highly recommend our tried-and-tested dinner hack. Picking up groceries at a regular supermarket can easily <strong>save you dozens of euros per day<\/strong>, which really adds up during a longer stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table

The historic centre is admittedly a bit further on foot, but the Luas Red Line tram stops right outside the door and whisks you to the main sights in just ten minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: If you&#8217;re arriving by car, the hotel offers its own <strong>secure underground car park<\/strong>, which is a huge and very rare perk in this part of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6aa925016801b&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6aa925016801b\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/the-belvedere-hotel.png\" alt=\"The Belvedere Hotel in Dublin\" class=\"wp-image-399608\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/the-belvedere-hotel.png 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/the-belvedere-hotel-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/the-belvedere-hotel-700x394.png 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/the-belvedere-hotel-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/the-belvedere-hotel-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/the-belvedere-hotel-696x392.png 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/the-belvedere-hotel-1392x783.png 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Belvedere Hotel Dublin \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_The_Belvedere_Hotel\"><\/span>6.

It sits north of the river, roughly <strong>fifteen minutes&#8217; walk from Connolly Station<\/strong> and an amazing five minutes from the bustling O&#8217;Connell Street, where you&#8217;ll find plenty of shops and restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hotel occupies classic Georgian townhouses, and the rooms are furnished in a traditional \u2014 perhaps slightly dated \u2014 but very clean and cosy style. Guests regularly praise the <strong>hearty traditional Irish breakfasts<\/strong> that will keep you fuelled all morning, as well as the very helpful staff who are happy to assist with getting around the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a great choice for travellers planning <strong>day trips by train to the coast<\/strong>, since the station&#8217;s proximity saves you a lot of morning stress. At the same time, you&#8217;re still close enough to the centre to head out on foot for evening entertainment and sightseeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: The hotel regularly hosts <strong>traditional Irish music and dance evenings<\/strong> in its common areas, and in-house guests often get discounted admission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6aa9250168551&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6aa9250168551\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/holiday-inn-express-dublin-city-centre.jpg\" alt=\"Holiday Inn Express Dublin City Centre\" class=\"wp-image-399612\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/holiday-inn-express-dublin-city-centre.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/holiday-inn-express-dublin-city-centre-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/holiday-inn-express-dublin-city-centre-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/holiday-inn-express-dublin-city-centre-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/holiday-inn-express-dublin-city-centre-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/holiday-inn-express-dublin-city-centre-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/holiday-inn-express-dublin-city-centre-1392x927.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Holiday Inn Express Dublin City Centre by IHG \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Holiday_Inn_Express_Dublin_City_Centre\"><\/span>7.

Modern bathrooms, comfortable beds with a pillow menu, and fast Wi-Fi are all a given here. A huge plus for families and budget travellers is that every stay includes a simple but perfectly adequate buffet breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This hotel is an excellent base for visitors who&#8217;ve come for the sights and plan to <strong>spend most of their day out and about<\/strong>. You won&#8217;t find any romantic historic charm or luxury wellness here, but for your money you get exactly what you need for a comfortable night in the heart of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Ask at reception for a <strong>room facing the inner courtyard<\/strong>, as the main street can be noisy even at night \u2014 this way you&#8217;ll get a much quieter sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6aa9250168b65&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6aa9250168b65\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"2133\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maldron-hotel-smithfield.jpg\" alt=\"Maldron Hotel Smithfield in Dublin\" class=\"wp-image-399617\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maldron-hotel-smithfield.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maldron-hotel-smithfield-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maldron-hotel-smithfield-700x933.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maldron-hotel-smithfield-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maldron-hotel-smithfield-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maldron-hotel-smithfield-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maldron-hotel-smithfield-696x928.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maldron-hotel-smithfield-1392x1856.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Maldron Hotel Smithfield \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Maldron_Hotel_Smithfield\"><\/span>8. Maldron Hotel Smithfield<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This popular hotel sits in the quieter but rapidly up-and-coming Smithfield neighbourhood, offering an <strong>excellent balance of affordable pricing and high comfort<\/strong>. The square in front of the hotel is wide, airy, and safe, and you&#8217;re just a few minutes&#8217; walk from the popular Jameson Distillery \u2014 a huge draw for most visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rooms are spacious, modernly furnished, and many of them offer <strong>lovely city views<\/strong> thanks to large windows. Guests really appreciate the calm atmosphere of the whole neighbourhood, which is a welcome contrast to the Temple Bar frenzy. There&#8217;s a good restaurant right in the building, and the surrounding streets are full of interesting local caf\u00e9s that are definitely worth checking out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s ideal accommodation for those who want to be close to the sights but prefer <strong>quiet evening strolls in a less touristy setting<\/strong>. You can reach the very centre in a comfortable fifteen-minute walk along the river, or hop on the tram that stops a short walk from the entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Try the local caf\u00e9s around Smithfield Square for your morning breakfast \u2014 they often serve <strong>excellent specialty coffee and fresh pastries<\/strong> at much better prices than in the centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6aa92501691d8&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6aa92501691d8\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/academy-plaza-hotel.jpg\" alt=\"Academy Plaza Hotel in Dublin\" class=\"wp-image-399621\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/academy-plaza-hotel.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/academy-plaza-hotel-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/academy-plaza-hotel-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/academy-plaza-hotel-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/academy-plaza-hotel-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/academy-plaza-hotel-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/academy-plaza-hotel-1392x927.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Academy Plaza Hotel \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Academy_Plaza_Hotel\"><\/span>9. Academy Plaza Hotel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This hotel became <strong>our home base for the entire duration<\/strong> of our three-day trip, and Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I couldn&#8217;t have chosen better. It&#8217;s just a short walk from the bustling O&#8217;Connell Street, so we had all the major bus stops and main sights literally at our fingertips. Guests praise the friendly staff; the rooms aren&#8217;t huge, but they have <strong>everything you need after a full day of walking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest advantage for us, though, was the <strong>strategic location relative to shops<\/strong>. As I mentioned earlier, restaurant prices in Dublin can really blow through your budget, so we regularly <strong>picked up dinners from the Lidl around the corner<\/strong>. You can absolutely save on food in Dublin, and this was our way. The hotel also has its own restaurant if you&#8217;d rather not venture out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re looking for a smart compromise between price and quality near the centre, Academy Plaza is, in our opinion, an outstanding choice. When you&#8217;ve been on your feet all day exploring the city, you&#8217;ll appreciate having <strong>a comfortable place to come back to and sleep soundly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: At check-in, try asking for a <strong>room on one of the upper floors<\/strong> \u2014 you won&#8217;t hear any street noise at all and you&#8217;ll enjoy total peace for sleeping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6aa9250169814&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6aa9250169814\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"747\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/jacobs-inn.jpg\" alt=\"Jacobs Inn hostel in Dublin\" class=\"wp-image-399627\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/jacobs-inn.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/jacobs-inn-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/jacobs-inn-700x327.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/jacobs-inn-768x359.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/jacobs-inn-1536x717.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/jacobs-inn-696x325.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/jacobs-inn-1392x650.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Eleen Chan \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Jacobs_Inn_LATROUPE\"><\/span>10.

A massive plus is that all shared rooms come with <strong>private en-suite bathrooms<\/strong>, which dramatically boosts the comfort of your stay. Each bed also has its own blackout curtain, reading light, and power outlet, so you can easily create your own little private space even in a larger dorm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond dorm beds, the hostel also offers nice <strong>private rooms for couples<\/strong> who want to save compared to regular hotels. Guests absolutely love the large common room with foosball and board games, as well as the in-house caf\u00e9 serving renowned morning cakes and great coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: If you&#8217;re travelling in a group of four or more, it pays to <strong>book an entire shared room just for yourselves<\/strong> \u2014 you&#8217;ll get maximum privacy at a fraction of the cost of a regular hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Choose_the_Right_Hotel\"><\/span>How to Choose the Right Hotel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When making your final decision, first work out who you&#8217;re travelling with and what your main goal is. <strong>For families with children and couples seeking romance<\/strong>, it&#8217;s absolutely essential to avoid the Temple Bar area and instead opt for the St Stephen&#8217;s Green neighbourhood, which is quiet and safe in the evenings. If, on the other hand, you&#8217;re heading out with a group of mates purely for the nightlife and don&#8217;t mind noise until the early hours, feel free to find accommodation as close to the river and the centre of the action as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For travellers on a tight budget, it makes the most sense to look for accommodation <strong>in the Smithfield or Rathmines neighbourhoods<\/strong>, or to choose a quality hostel with private rooms. And if your main reason for visiting is a specific event or concert, always look for a place within walking distance of the venue \u2014 late-night transport can be unpredictable, and taxis after big events tend to be extremely pricey and hard to come by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Go_Next\"><\/span>Where to Go Next<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you&#8217;ve picked the perfect accommodation, it&#8217;s time to start planning your itinerary. To make sure you don&#8217;t miss anything important, we&#8217;ve put together a detailed article with the very best tips.

Prices soar especially during the summer season and on weekends. If you want to save money, you need to book well in advance and consider cheaper alternatives on the edge of the city centre.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787754670001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_neighbourhood_is_best_for_a_first_visit\"><\/span>Which neighbourhood is best for a first visit?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The area around St Stephen&#8217;s Green and the shopping mile of Grafton Street is absolutely ideal. It&#8217;s very safe, clean, and you can comfortably walk to all the major landmarks \u2014 including the famous university and the castle \u2014 in just a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787754670002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_safe_to_stay_in_the_Temple_Bar_area\"><\/span>Is it safe to stay in the Temple Bar area?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>In terms of personal safety, yes \u2014 the neighbourhood is packed with people and police patrol regularly. The main issue, though, is the absolutely extreme noise from drunk tourists and loud music, which often doesn&#8217;t die down until three in the morning. It&#8217;s really not the best address if you&#8217;re after a good night&#8217;s sleep.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787754670003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_should_you_stay_with_small_children\"><\/span>Where should you stay with small children?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Steer clear of the very heart of the action and opt for quieter fringes instead. Hotels like The Wilder Townhouse or accommodation in the Smithfield neighbourhood offer a much calmer setting, wide safe pavements, and often more spacious family rooms.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787754670004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_is_the_best_time_to_book_a_hotel\"><\/span>When is the best time to book a hotel?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The earlier, the better. We found that the best value-for-money options tend to get snapped up well in advance. If you&#8217;re planning a trip for summer or for St Patrick&#8217;s Day, book your accommodation the moment you buy your flights.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787754670005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_the_best_way_to_get_around_the_city_from_your_hotel\"><\/span>What&#8217;s the best way to get around the city from your hotel?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The historic centre is fairly compact, and most of the time you&#8217;ll be perfectly fine just walking. If you&#8217;re staying a bit further out, the local tram called Luas works brilliantly, and there are also the DART commuter trains that will take you comfortably even to the more distant coastline.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787754670006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_easy_to_find_vegetarian_food_near_the_hotels\"><\/span>Is it easy to find vegetarian food near the hotels?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Traditional Irish pubs do tend to be dominated by hearty local meat dishes like the famous Irish stew or fish and chips, but Irish gastronomy has come a long way. These days you&#8217;ll find a generous and really tasty selection of meat-free dishes and modern vegan bistros practically everywhere.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787754670007\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_should_you_look_for_accommodation_if_youre_going_to_a_concert_at_the_3Arena\"><\/span>Where should you look for accommodation if you&#8217;re going to a concert at the 3Arena?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Your best bet is the Docklands neighbourhood, where the venue itself is located. The Gibson Hotel in particular sits right opposite the entrance, so you avoid the hassle of getting back to the city centre late at night and the crowds on public transport.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heading to Ireland and not sure where to rest your head?
