We are planning to take the train from Belfast to Dublin the day before our flight. I see there are several train stations in Dublin. Is the Connolly station the one to arrive at? We haven’t booked the hotel for this last night. Any suggestions?
I stayed at the Roxford Lodge in Dublin. The Air Coach stops a block away (opposite side of the road, flag down the driver) so it's very convenient for getting to the airport.
We did the reverse trip, and the train from Dublin to Belfast was from Connolly Station to Belfast Central (Lanyon Place). Hope that helps!
How early is your flight the day you leave? If it is very early, you may prefer to stay out at the airport. If it is later in the day than picking a hotel near the express bus to airport route is a good idea.
