Good Dublin Hotels

I'm looking for a nice central hotel in Dublin. It has to be fairly close to any theatres and shops. Also a good price wouldn't hurt as well.

Blooms hotel is brilliant, its in temple bar- close to all the shops, clubs, theatres etc and the price is good to. they also have a club underneath the hotel- you cant hear the noise from the rooms though. have a lovely time

Temple Bar Hotel right next to Buskers bar on Fleet St. Cheap as youll find in the centre with out going to a hostel. Theres plenty of Hostels in Temple bar aswell if you want to go that way, good one called St. Oliver John Gogertys on the same street.

the aston hotel is my very favorite- cozy, not too expensive, breakfast and residents bar available. it's located on aston quay, right near the o'connell bridge. it's excellent! 

otherwise, the blooms hotel (someone else mentioned that)...is pretty reasonable and located in temple bar.

Latchford's of Baggot Street is awesome. I stayed there alone for 70 euro last summer, last minute. It's not far from St. Stephan's Green and Grafton Street, and it's quiet. It's in an old Georgian building. My room had cathedral ceilings, a fireplace, a kitchenette, and a sitting area. They rock. 

Look for rates through hotelschart.com, or their web site,

The most central ones are more expensive. I recommend hotels such as The Mespil or The Mc Eniff Grand Canal Hotel. They are about 10 minutes walk from the centre and are really nice budget 3 star hotels. Otherwise look at the websites below:
