Aaaah daaaahling! Will be staying with my mother in her little Irish hovel...but as I said, will be more than happy to advise on Dublin accomodation.....

Have just booked Best Western Plaza, seems to be half way between Croke Park and Temple Bar area.

Now Wolf you should know thats just plain silly. P is not staying in the Four Seasons for the dublin trip, but you know that don't you?. Also the four seasons in dublin is not worth the money. It's really quite sloppy, go the one in Paris if you want to experience a proper version. Beef Burger for £35.. mmmm. Lovely.

And the bar in FS Dublin is shite.
Small, souless full of itself, you know, like some of the pubs in Kerry!

And just to get back on topic. A note to everyone visiting Dublin. Unfortunately our main street is now rather dangerous at night. As are some other inner city areas. Just be careful. Hotspots to avoid in my opinion would be o'connell st, cristchurch. templebar is fine, because it is constantly full of tourists, a little dangerous late night. Most of the chain hotels are fine if you can get in there at this point. Croker itself is not in the best location, but again it's fine when busy. Just be careful fellow orgers! Dublin is the same as every other european country, good and bad bits!

True

Rorywan said:

Thanks for the warning.Used to Rotterdam, so don't worry

HotPaisleyGirl said:

I have booked Best Western Plaza too. I thought it would be just right being sort of halfway between Croke and bars, bit worried now as Rorywan says its not safe near o'connell street. Not gonna let it bother me too much.

darlingfloor said:

Try www.academyhotel.co.uk They still have rooms.

Diamond7 said:

thank you, sound good!

bluenose63 said:

Is that the Carton House in Maynooth???

http://www.dublintourist.com/

this seemed to be quite a good website to me

I booked into this place in the end last night

http://www.booking.com/ho...ns.en.html

it's got fairly average reviews, but it seems reasonably priced and is a good location...plus it's attached to a music shop, which swung it for me

Good for venue.....not the chicest area but I like it....clsoe to the real spirit of Dublin!!

eireboy34 said:

ahh, cool, reassuring to know...i'm not all that fussy really/easily pleases! i just liked the look of the building! I've just looked at the directions on the Croke park website, looks good for the venue as you say

Guess i'll have to take a walk to chic though!

Me and hubby have booked an apartment through staydublin.com, worked out approx £70 for the night and only about 10 mins or so from Croke Park.
