Hmm, not fancying Dublin in June in a tent. It'll probably chuck it down all weekend knowing my luck. Wanna look my best. He hasn't met me yet and when he does, he may want to marry me! ;)

Frizbetheexpansionset am going to start trying guesthouses. Tried some and they have availability for the Thursday but not the Friday night.

Anyone have any recommendations?

LadySherlockofLGJ that place looks fab. I bet they haven't got room in the inn tho. Will mail it over to my Dad and get him on the case.

A friend of mine has just said she stayed here:
www.apartments2book.com/dublin1.htm
so that may be an option too.

What touristy things shuld I be doing in Dublin?

drinking!!! (sorry!!)

Skribble · 02/03/2006 20:29

Loads came up on the tourist board website including the University, Hostels and 2 Hotels through to 5.

Try Drogheda a Town north of Dublin and not too far away.

BudaBabe · 02/03/2006 21:03

Have you tried any B&Bs?

Try guesthouses/hotels that are near the very reliable (commuter rail)DART service. If the concert is at the Point, look at Clontarf.If Lansdowne Road area, try Bray (technically Wicklow , but still on the DART)
Drogheda is miles out, and not sure how late the trains run.
