This little darling needs a place to stay in Dublin.
I'll come to this funky city with my babysister (19 year old, but still my babysister) and I'm searchin for a nice and safe place to stay. Somewhere close to the airport? Or close to the venue? Not to expensive, although money's not really an issue.
Help me out here!

Thanks you guys

thats Im staying and a few other orgers, its supposed to be quite close and yet central to bars and sites etc. Im staying from Mondy to Wednesday, some are arriving Sat I think.

Seems like a nice place and I liked that it was family run.

Im going, hubby and 13year old son.

Hi guys, Im staying in the Fleet Street hotel. Its right in Temple Bar (where all the bars are). the rooms were at bout £70 a night, which is quite reasonable considering the location. This was the best deal I could find.

okay so i have booked into a hotel

its called Browns and they reckon its about 10 minutes from Croke Park and it is near the city centre

it cost me £75 for a single room but the hotel only has 25 rooms so if you are intrested i would ring them quickly

i got in contact through this number 00353 1 8550034

not sure what it will be like but better than nothing i am only staying there for the one night and hopefully i will find the aftershow so if it is bad i will only be there for a few hours if it isnt the best

i am so excited i dont think anything will make me sad today

when are you travelling, we leave london on the monday.

darlingfloor said:

did you get a room yet? there was another thread on here about all those travelling from London and Im sure it was DeniDeni who had another hotel not far away, Ill try and find it for you.

Hey Darlingfloor


sorry it wasnt DeniDeni it was Jeffiner and heres her post:


Best Western Academy Plaza Hotel!



try this as there are other orgers there!


good luck

^^^ i was tempted by there but the cheapest room for me was £103 without breakfast where as my one includes a breakfast
if i manage to wake up in time

syble said:

i am leaving on the monday from stanstead but i am on a really early flight like horrible early its the last time i ask someone to book me a flight i am leaving at 6.30am so heaven knows what i am going to do for the rest of the day

then on the tuesday i am going to see my cousins up near belfast and fly back to england on the wednesday unless anymore concerts are happening in which case i may change my travel plans lol

Daaalings Dublin is expensive.

Try the youth hostels ( not so bad!). Or Jury's Inns....basic but clean. The one in parnell street is closest to Croke park. Jurys also have a more expensive hotel just beside Croke Park

jurys was fully booked unless they have had any cancellations and the jurys hotel is expensive

the problem with youth hostels is they often shut the doors at a certain time so if anyone was gonna try and find an aftershow or go out afterwards they could end up locked out

I think Kinlay is open 24 hours.....but you're right, better to ask.

b3xy said:

I'm sure some/ alot of you know the site below.....I swear by it to find accomodation when I travel.

Check out the B and Bs too...basically you want to be on the North side of Dublin ( nearer the venue) ... if you need any advice on this let me know

sorry guys, was watching a movie (and crying like a baby)
thanks for all the advice. I'm a rich (well...) daaaahling eireboybaby. Tell me about your trip to ireland!

what film? (i know kinda off topic)

maybe when i am out earning in a full time job £200 wont be to much but for the amount of money i have as a student it aint gonna happen i would rather save the extra and use it towards another concert or something

b3xy said:

Yes, what film daaaahlng? And just how rich R U?? Maybe our relationship could start up again?????

b3xy said:

I already spent most of my money on concerts and cd's... Anyway, I won't go on holiday this year (that is, unless I like Ireland that much I wanna go back. Planned on visiting Ireland for a while now, and 2 days don't count) so I can afford something. If the man will do a tour though, i'll follow him around.

oh and: PS I love you
