Skippy1 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Anywhere on Stephens Green......The Cliff Townhouse, Stephens Green Hotel The Westin Dublin La Stampa Hotel Jurys Inn Christchurch.............a little further all depending on price range not sure on B&B in the area you might have to go further out to get a decent B&B avoid Temple Bar area late at night, can get messy :-)............unless you like that:wideeyed:..............not a Dubliner.............enjoy the Trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who has been and can anyone recommend a nice B& B or Hotel in the centre within walking distance of nice bars/cafés. :biggrin: Have been to Dublin once or twice....done the usual Temple bar routine....lots of Alcohol and good fun....some lovely narrow streets with cafes and bars and music venues etc....you also have the castle and the gardens that are nice (if weather is good).....If your thinking of traveling further a field I would recommend Cork, another great town and there are some lovely fishing villages along the south coast with great bars and entertainment...Kinsale & Bandon...you will have fun where ever you go.

Irishgirl1 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Hiya Mad Cow, I know being from Dublin I should be able to help, but I have never had to worry about accommodation, always stay with relatives, The City is great so the closer you can get to O'Connell Street the better, great pubs everywhere, Stephen's Green near Trinity College, and you can even walk up by the River Liffey to the oldest pub in Dublin, I will try get a list of few places you must see and do, a list I may even use myself as all we seem to do is cater for all the families to make sure we see them all and it is draining although we love them all dearly lol xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debz101 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 We've stayed at the Arlington Hotel right on O'Connell bridge. Lovely hotel and great rooms. Plus it own bars were pretty good too. The bus stop for the tourist bus is right outside the door, that takes you around most of the touristy things to do and you can hop on and off as you like. http://www.arlington.ie/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irishgirl1 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 lol was just looking at a few hotels/B&B's in the city and hubby said The Arlington, his Sister was married there and had a few family functions, but he said it is a great spot to get to everything, if you get your Breakfast included with a good price an added bonus x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irishgirl1 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Looking more into it Debz is right, great location and good prices I think The Brazen Head (oldest Irish pub) is about a 800mtr walk Guinness Brewery about 2km or so walk Trinity College (tour to see book of Kells) about 600mtr walk and you are pretty much at O Connell street which everything runs off, Shopping and great pubs, if you miss Oz you can even go to the Woolshed Baa & Grill Aussie pub serving Aussie Beer lol xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
