When it comes to places to stay in Dublin, there are a ton of options. It all depends on what you want to accomplish and enjoy during your visit. Do you want to unwind and be away from the crowd? Perhaps you want to stay in a place with easy access to the nightlife? Maybe you want to be further away from touristy spots but close to public transport?
I’ve stayed at 6 different hotels in Dublin this year, many of which I’ve reviewed. So I thought it may be helpful for me to put together a post, comparing them all to one another.
I’ve compiled this list in order of price; the lowest to the highest price. I mean, does anyone ever use the high-low price filter when online shopping anyway?!
Please remember that prices obviously change all the time depending on your search criteria, where you search, time of booking and number of people etc. However, I searched for a double room for 2 adults, in two months’ time, so that I compare the prices for booking a room at each hotel in advance.
THE GRESHAM
23 O’Connell Street Upper, North City, Dublin, D01 C3W7
Price: £112 per night.
Location: North of the Liffey and directly across the road from a Luas (tram) stop. Most of the major tourist sites and shops are a short walk or tram ride away, however O’Connell Street is a busy, bustling street at all times of the day and night. The North side, in my opinion is also quite gritty and not the most pleasant area to stay in.
Perfect for: Those who enjoy walking around the city and don’t mind a bit of noise on a busy road.

TEMPLE BAR HOTEL
13-17 Fleet St, Temple Bar, Dublin 2, D02 WD51
Price: £128 per night.
Location: As the name would suggest, this hotel is located right in the heart of Temple Bar; home to all the touristy nightlife.
Perfect for: Couples, hen/stag parties or short trips to the city where you want to be close to all the bars and popular tourist sites. One to avoid booking for your granny though!

HILTON DUBLIN
Charlemont Pl, Saint Kevin’s, Dublin, D02 A893
Price: £133 per night.
Location: Pretty far from the city centre, with nothing near by aside from a pub and small supermarket. There is however a Luas (tram) stop directly outside the hotel.
Perfect for: Those want to stay away from the hustle and bustle, plan to hop on the Luas each day and you’re not fussed about the location you stay in, this may be a good choice for you.
Great atmosphere in the pub, by the way, and the hotel bar serve some great coffee!
TRINITY CITY HOTEL
Pearse St, Dublin 2, D02 FW96
Price: £135 per night.
Location: It doesn’t get much better than this glamorous gothic hotel to be honest. Most of the major sites are within a short walk, including Temple Bar. So you’re close enough to the nightlife, but far away enough not to be disturbed by the noise of it all.
Perfect for: Everyone; couples, families, hen/stag parties, business travellers etc. Particularly great if you’re visiting somebody at Trinity college as it’s just across the road from here!

THE MORRISON
Ormond Quay Lower, North City, Dublin 1, D01 K5X5
Price: £179 per night.
Location: This hotel is again on the North side of Dublin, however it’s just on the edge, facing the river. It’s by far my favourite hotel in Dublin; I’ve stayed here on 3 separate occasions, so any reservations I have about the north side don’t matter. Dublin is a small city, so everything is within walking distance; nightlife, restaurants, tourist sites etc. However, the nearest Luas stop is a 15 minute walk away. The road that runs parallel to this hotel; Capel Street and some of the side streets off this road are home to some of the best restaurants I’ve been to in the city.
Perfect for: Everyone; couples, families, business travellers etc.

INTERCONTINENTAL DUBLIN
Simmonscourt Rd, Ballsbridge, Dublin, D04 A9K8
Price: £210 per night.
Location: 10-15 minute taxi ride away (traffic dependant) from the city. However the hotel is beautiful and set in a quiet location. The nearest railway station; Sandymount is a 10-minute walk away.
Perfect for: couples in need of a little pampering for a weekend away.
