I'm going to be in Dublin and need to find a good hotel in a cool area, such as the centre. I tried the Morrison as most people suggested but they are full. Help!
Thanks so much!

The Stephen's Green Hotel is very nice indeed and is in an excellent location, close to the park, shops, and nightlife. The Gaiety Theatre is close by too, if you're going to see Riverdance as many visitors would.
The Westin on College Green is also a great hotel, next door to Trinity College and Temple Bar. So all attractions, shops, pubs etc are close by.
Shame the Morrisson is booked up. It's a really nice hotel.
Enjoy your stay in Dublin!

We stayed at the Clarence in Dublin, right in the middle of Temple Bar (trendy/artsy) district. It was great! Very nice and excellent service!

Arriving in Dublin for First Time, Tips!
I'm arriving in Dublin with my brother and I'm not sure where to stay. We don't mind walking too much. We'd like to visit the Guinness Factory, Dublin Castle, and some museums.
Should we stay on the north side, south side, on temple or o'connell?
Any suggestions will help! Thanks.

Dublin is a relativity small city, you could walk to most places you want to go, such as Dublin castle, all the museums, and even the Guinness brewery, however that is outside of the city centre, you can get the 78A bus outside the 'supervalu' shop on the south side of the quays near O'Connell bridge if you like, or get the Dublin bus tour, that drops you off at it, and everywhere else. I think a hop on hop off ticket is only €20.00
When booking a hotel the trick is the lower the Dublin postal address the nearer it is to the city centre, and temple bar. So, a hotel in Dublin 1 or 2 is extremely central, even numbers (2,4,6 etc) are all on the southside, and uneven are the North, as someone has suggested Jurys in Christchurch is located well, its far enough away from Temple bar to get a good night sleep, but its within walking distance of it too, and right across the road from Christchurch cathedral, (I'd walk to Guinness from there, but then again, I know the short cuts), if you do stay there have some fish and chips from Burdocks around the corner from the hotel. Lovely
No doubt you will try Temple bar, but you are more likely to meet some locals up around South William street, try Grogans for Guinness, or the Market bar across the road from it. Pub grub is reasonably priced, but a lot of restaurants have great value with their early bird menus, esp Tante Zoes in Temple Bar
#
Just about anywhere in Dublin is good, public transportation rocks, not like here in the States. I went some years ago, and stayed in Rathmines, which is on the south side ( I had a friend there, so no hotel). Drinking Guinness at Guinness is like being on hallowed ground - the sky lounge is sweet. Dublin Castle was cool too. While you're there, go to Kilkenny, and have a pint of Kilkenny too. Should you want to have a pint of Smithwicks, don't pronounce the "W", or they'll peg you as a tourist for sure. Good luck, and enjoy the visit!
#
Try Jurys Christchurch. It is right beside Dublin Castle and only a short walk from the Guinness brewery and from Temple Bar. It is a reasonably priced hotel. Enjoy your stay.
#
Ireland is a walkable city, there are no major hills an the majority of attractions are within reasonable distance of each other. It depends on what kind of level of accommodation you want. Temple bar is central though (although it may be noisy if you have a stag (bachelor) party staying next door). From here you can easily get to the national Gallery on Merrion square, the national museum (Kildare st. and Collins barracks sites). Trinity college, Dublin castle etc.
There's a bus that visits a lot of the major sites, however, the majority are within 15-20 mins walk of temple bar. (the only sites I'd recommend getting the bus to are the Guinness storehouse and Kilmainham jail)
#
Stay at the four courts hostel, you'll meet loads of people and have a more relaxed time than in a hotel and it will only cost you about 10 - 15 euro a night each..I've never stayed there myself but did join some friends that stayed there for a while and it was great craic.
I usually try to avoid temple bar as its not that great, I prefer a lot of other areas in dublin..Rathmines is my favourite area at the moment as theres a a couple of pubs and restaurants there that I like. Though I also like it in Phibsboro in the north of the city

Questions about traveling/vacationing in Ireland
My husband and I have decided we are going to vacation in Ireland. Are there places you recommend we see/visit? Where are some good places to stay? Did you buy a vacation package or tour the country on your own? Any other advice you can give? Thanks!
Update : Also, what type of currency is used, and how would I go about getting my american $ exchanged?
Update 2: And, what is the best time of year to visit, and so that not so many tourists are present?
#
Ireland is in the Eurozone, so you use Euros in the Republic, but Northern Ireland is still officially part of the UK, so you use sterling there. Order some Euros from your bank before you go, and let your bank know you're going and ask them about using your ATM card on the machines over here - it's the safest way to access your money, rather than carrying around wads of cash, and certainly cheaper than going the traveller's cheque route. You can also use Visa and Mastercard here, but many places don't accept American Express or Diner's Club anymore, as they are too slow process.
High season in Ireland tends to be July and August, it's not usually very warm then (compared to mainland Europe) and you should be aware that the past two summers were cold and wet, so bring layers, a good rain jacket, and waterproof shoes. There's no guarantee that this year will be any different, but you never know.
Where to stay? Well, it's all good. I personally prefer the west, but there are some great places in other areas too. If you are going to hire a car, I strongly recommend picking a region and staying there and taking day trips within that region, rather than haring around the country trying to see all the sights and getting the photos to show off back home - all you'd see in the inside of your car and traffic. If you live in a city, choose a small town or a village in Ireland, and instead of staying in one of the big impersonal hotels, try a family-run Bed & Breakfast (you'll find loads through the Irish Tourist Board website or through www.familyhomes.ie). Local people are very helpful and can give good directions, and also point you in the direction of places that might be off the official tourist board radar.
Two more things about driving in Ireland: petrol (what you call gas) is now just over €1 per litre (multiply that by 7.5 and you get the price for a gallon) and you will need to factor this into your budget for getting around, but it is very convenient to have your own car in a country where the public transport facilities leave a lot to be desired. Diesel is slightly cheaper, just under a Euro per litre. Also, driving times in Ireland are not going to be the same as in the US. In Ireland, it is physically impossible to drive 100 miles in 100 minutes, the roads are simply not built for it. We do not have an infrastructure for large volumes of high-speed traffic. I live just south of Limerick city, and have to allow 2.5 hours at least to get to Dublin if I'm driving there, and it's only 130 miles. Much much easier for me to take the train!
If this is your first visit, I would suggest that you join a coach tour, safer and easier for you, as here we drive on the left and the steering wheel is on the right-hand side of the car. Google 'touring Ireland' and see what you come up with, or contact the Irish Tourist Board, or try www.discoverireland.ie for more information. Have a great trip!

I'd recommend visiting the North East Coast and seeing the Giants Causeway and the Bush Mills Whiskey distillery. I also recommend a trip to Derry / Londonderry and walk the walls. A lot of history in that city.
These are all in Northern Ireland and well worth a visit.
In the Republic of Ireland they use Euros.
In the North they use Sterling (British Pounds) although areas around the boarder will accept both. The boarder is open and can be crossed without passport control etc so don't worry about that.

I don't really think there are any bad places to visit when it comes to Ireland. Dublin can be fun, but if you're not into partying and drinking, I would recommend going elsewhere. Dublin has lots of great shops and restaurants, but the sights in Ireland are better in other parts of the country.
I would highly recommend doing your own trip and renting a car. That is what we did our first time in Ireland and it went very smoothly. If you have any troubles finding hotels or attractions, the locals will be more than happy to help you.
Trim is an interesting place to visit...cute little town with a big castle. It's the castle where "Braveheart" was filmed. It's a good place to start if you're driving across the country from Dublin. The west coast is a MUST see. I would recommend staying a few days at least and visiting the Burren, The Cliffs of Moher, and the Aran Islands. There is an excellent gift shop located at the Cliffs that is reasonably priced also.
Doolin is a wonderful little town to stay in and a great place to mingle with the locals. There are great little pubs there and unique shops. Doolin is quite close to the attractions mentioned above and you will have no trouble finding them.
If you're into golf, there is a quaint little par 3 course near there also. An excellent way to breathe in the Irish countryside and coast for a couple hours.
Bunratty is also a good place to go, with a large imposing castle that is well worth the visit. There's a reasonably priced, clean, hotel just across the street from the castle, as well as a pub and gift shop. We did a lot of shopping here.
Wherever you go in Ireland, take time to meet the local people and talk with them. Doing that brought me some of my greatest memories of the trip. That's the real way to breathe in the country.
Do your own thing...have fun...be safe...and enjoy. :)

You have to go to the West Coast of Ireland...and see the Cliffs of Moher, the Ailwee caves, take a trip to the Aran islands....how long will your vacation be? - there is so much to see and do in ireland...Dublin could take at least a week. call to the Tourist Information board at the airport when you land, pick up loads of brochures etc. and then take them to the pub with you !
The currency is the Euro - take plenty, ireland is one expensive country You can change dollars anwhere, just be prepared to be charged plenty for the privilege! As for when to visit - spring and summer are always fairly busy tourist-wise, but you don't want to visit in winter - trust me. I'd try april/may - you won't get warm weather but you'll be first in the queue! Have a great trip!

Most tourists book their own accommodation, I run a small B&B in Co. Cork and people usually contact me direct via my website. Try googling Accommodation Ireland or Hotel Ireland. It depends what sort of accommodation you want, B&B, hotel etc. Always ask for the best price, we are in a recession and most hoteliers are desperate for business (I know!)
Euro is the currency in the Republic of Ireland, £stirling in Northern Ireland (part of the UK). You can travel feely between the 2 countries. I guess you would go to a bank either before you leave the US or when you arrive here and change your $s to Euros.
There are lots of wonderful places to visit but Ireland is quite a decent sized country and you need to hire a car as public transport is pretty non existant outside the cities.
Give yourself a few days to travel around. What you do depends on what you enjoy really. Do you like cities or exploring historical sites or hill walking? Kerry is beautiful but the Ring of Kerry and Killarney are very "touristy". This website has lots of information http://www.discoverireland.ie/
Its very cold and wet most of the year, the best months to visit would be May-August but you can never guarantee it won't rain.

When is the cheapest season to go to Ireland?
I never been to Ireland and after watching the movie P.S I love you i want to go badly! It seems expensive to go. I want to see the country side, pubs etc. But i have two toddlers and i have to take them with me because i have nobody to watch them. I would like to go next year after my husband comes back from Iraq. When is a good season to go? The cheapest months? Airlines, bed and breakfast or cottage places to stay at?
#
October to February is cheapest for Airlines and hotel deals, but the cost of living does not go down. Food, Drink etc. will still be expensive no matter what time of year.
#
winter and january
#
I don't have any specific information but I do know that the cheapest and least crowded time to go is in the 'off season'. Based on what I've read I'd hazard a guess that would be after the US Labor Day and before St. Patrick's Day.
Good luck
Your best bet is to come to Galway where'll you get plenty of countryside and pubs. Take up a bit of golf as well and ye'll have a fun family day out!

I would defo say January.
Even though the weather is going to be raining/snowing. but its really nice that time of year.
Plus after christmas they are selling off airline tickets and there are special offers in hotels.
plus there are sales in the shops and christmas lights are still up. it is really beautiful.
i live in ireland and at that time of year it really is beautiful

The Spring time is prob the cheapest, im taking into a/c the weather as well, so you'd be talking February/March.

Nicest and cheapest beer available in Ireland
open to lager, stout or ale. preferably a lager. must be cheap in price but not in taste. thanks in advance.
#
In Ireland it has to be the Guinness. Draft Guinness brewed in Ireland is entirely different from the stuff they sell us in the UK.

Cheapest cigarettes in Ireland
Hey does anyone know the cheapest brand of cigarettes in Dublin (Ireland) not including Rollie's eg.Drum Amber leaf im sick of paying 8.40 for a 20 pack! By the way no advice on quitting smoking im an adult and entitled to make up my own mind and i won't listen.
#
Cheap and cigarettes don't really go together. Smoking is an expensive habit. It's not difficult really, just go into the shop (Usually Tesco's are cheapest) and look at the display and see which are cheapest.
You have obviously made your mind up that you want to continue smoking, but you could consider cutting down to say, 5 per day, that way you will only have to buy a pack a half each week.
#
Don't know about in Dublin.. In Derry you can buy a 20 pack of palace, yes, golden or superkings for £2.70 (€2.99/€3.00).. but, it is all under the counter.
Go into a small shop, a corner shop maybe and ask if they have any cheap cigarettes.. they don't advertise them for obvious reasons.

The cheapest place for a trip to Ireland
Where is the cheapest place for a trip to Ireland?
Thanks.
#
Stay away from Dublin if you want cheap. Everything is very expensive in town. Your best bet would be to sign up for travelzoo weekly top 20 and watch for Ireland car/b and b packages to come up. Also check AerLingus for packages. B and Bs will be the most inexpensive way to stay (and there's squillions of them about!)
For hotel deals, try to stay over a bank holiday weekend. Nearly every hotel in the country will have some kind of bank holiday weekend special rates , some inclusive of dinner.
Gas is WICKED expensive (right now close to 6 bucks a gallon - 1 Euro 10 cent per liter) so rent the smallest car you can and still be comfortable. Automatic transmission cars will really add an expense to your trip - sometimes double the rental cost of manual tranmission cars.
Pub food is the cheapest way to go and often times the tastiest. I had the best mussels EVER in a pub in Carlingford for 6 euro! I suppose you could also aquaint yourself with Abrakababra (donor kabab?)
Most definitely purchase a Heritage card. As of January the purchase price was 20 euro and this will get you admission into over 65 heritage sites around Ireland for 1 year. Newgrange alone will cost you 12.50! Very well worth it. Check out details on www.duchas.ie
All in all, any money spent on a holiday in Ireland is money well spent. It's a beautiful, magical country. Best of luck and enjoy your trip!
#
Dublin is definitely the most fun city but it is very expensive, though at the moment most of Ireland is. You're probably better to go to northern Ireland its much cheaper! Even us dubs head north for a cheap weekend. Don't forget they use pound sterling not the euro!
#
If your going to travel around when you get there, I recomend you go to Dublin, but its very expensive, Wicklow, Kilkenny, Kerry and Galway. they are just some of the nicest places.
#
Westport Irelands cleanest + cheapest town
#
In order to save money in travel across the island, the bus is the best way to go, by far cheaper and with more destinations that the train. The national bus company is called Bus Eireann at www.buseireann.ie. As for places to stay, try hostels, www.hostelbookers.com. If you are not into the hostel scene, still use the site, it will indicate nice, affordable private rooms, abet not with a lot of bells or whistles, but of course you are there to see the country, not the room.
Thanks.
