Hotel Recommendations for DUBLIN please?

[mosschops30]

Me and dh are going at the end of next month for a couple of nights just for a break together.
We used to stay at the Central Hotel but it had gone a bit tatty (thats about 3 years ago) even though was perfectly located.

Can anyone recommend similarly placed hotel close to Grafton Street/Temple Bar area.

Dont want to pay more than £80-£100 a night (inc brekkie if poss) as we will spend most of the time drinking not in the hotel

jurys inn always get my vote.

where is it te? Is it central?

they are a chain- hotels all over Dublin ranging from 3 to 5

Jurysinn.com

which one is the best then? have you stayed?

I stayed at The Custom House but its not very central.

They are a good chain of hotels- I think that they have one very close to grafton st

has anyone stayed at the Best Western Academy Plaza?

We stayed at the Christchurch Jury's Inn in August. It is fine, close to Temple Bar and reasonably priced.

I'd recommend Jury's Inn

Its also £95 per night

why cant i find a decent room for under £90 dh says we're not going if we cant find anything cheaper in the centre, and I have to book the flights by tonight

Its Dublin, doubtful you will find much cheaper, 90 for the 2 of you is pretty good.

I would expect to spend £70 in major cities (like here in Cardiff, or Newcastle) and can stay in a boutique in Manchester for £90 but think its a bit steep for basic Jurys.

Comfort Inn at Smithfield is pretty cheap.

Arlington is another cheapish one, central to absolutely everything.

Parliament hotel is right in Temple bar and is pretty cheap as well.

thanks loads Lou will have a look at those

Arlington is FAB Mosschops- when we went they had Irish Dancers in the Bar on the afternoon!
Very central also.

we have finally booked. I have been to the Arlington before, great for a few drinks but the accom was quite expensive!

We got a room for about £65 a night just off O'Connel Street, which is the opposite side of the river to where we normally stay but it should be good, will be different.

Thanks for all your help
