Dublin Hotels > £40 to £59 Dublin Hotels

In the footsteps of Joyce...apparently

Advantages: Reasonably priced in "standard", quieter location,
Disadvantages: Could have been cleaner, possible noise from DART

...through lastminute.com threw up the North Star Hotel, billed as a three star hotel and situated close to the city’s main coach station and opposite Connolly train station. We were able to secure a price of £107 for a standard double room for two nights which was a decent saving on the hotel website's full price of approximately £126 . I need to mention now that the hotel has several grades of accommodation and we chose the most basic. Next up the ...
...My first impression of the North Star was very favourable although I was secretly on the lookout for tell-tale signs that the hotel was “all fur coat and no knickers”. I had already made up my mind that the hotel must be like that London budget Hotel the “Regent Palace” which has a rather showy reception area but fades as soon as you get onto the staircases and plummets once you get into the rooms. The hotel is typically Irish in appearance, looking ...

Review of North Star, Dublin

Strange room numbers !!!

Advantages: great location, not far to main shopping area
Disadvantages: noisy at night, strange room numbering

I booked this hotel through an agent (just the hotel, travelcare if memory serves.) a group of us went there last year and the hotel was great, except for a couple of niggley things. first one being the strange way the rooms are numbered! you'd have like room 12 then something like room 237 next to it on the same floor! it took us a while to work out. no porter service it seemed, to help show you to your room, the elevator was tiny (2 people and ...
...take linen up and down in, but the rooms were ok, and quite roomy, en-suite too. the downstairs bar was excellent and full of characters up for the craic, but very noisy later on (till about 4am) if you are at the back of the hotel. we checked the room prices and it worked out a lot cheaper to book through the travel agent, than just turning up for a room. so overall it's good if you get a room at the front of the hotel and only a couple of floors ...

Review of Russell Court Hotel, Dublin

Best Western Hotel, Dublin.

Advantages: Close to tram stop and airport bus stop.
Disadvantages: Can get quite busy with people checking in & out.

...busy and checking in and out can take up a little time. There is the facility to leave luggage there if you arrive early and return later to check in. Its best point is its location. Right by the tram stop and so very close to Houston Station. ...

Review of Best Western Ashling Hotel, Dublin

grafton capital hotel

Advantages: can easily walk to nearby bars, restaurants.
Disadvantages: nothing significant

I have recently stayed here and i have to say that it was very enjoyable. It is quite central and myself and two friends could easily walk to the local bars and restaurants. The rooms were very clean and well designed. I stayed in a room by myself with a double bed. It had the usual appliances ( tv, iron, telephone, hairdryer, kettle) that all worked fine. The bathroom was kept clean and the shower was powerful enough. The staff were friendly and ...

Review of Grafton Capital Hotel, Dublin

Two star hotel with one star service

Advantages: Location, decor
Disadvantages: Lights not working, no plugs for sink or bath, grumpy staff, noisy, poor food

...appeal. I eventually found the Harcourt Hotel on Harcourt Street well below budget at around £53.00 a night (depending on exchange rate). This was located close to the main shopping area of Dublin (handy at Christmas) & walking distance to a huge selection of restaurants. I arrived at the hotel at 6.45pm & was impressed with the reception lobby; it must have dated form the early 20th century with period furniture, lighting & the general décor. ...
...especially at this price!! I was very quickly 'checked in' & asked the lady for directions to my room, she said 'go out the door you came in, turn right, walk down the street, past a shop & look out for two plant pots outside a door, your room is through the door'. I was rather taking aback, but followed her instructions, entered the door at the bottom of the street to find signs all over the lobby walls with room numbers & arrows. After a tense ...
