Does anybody have any recommendations for Dublin accommodations? The ones in the Rick Steve's guidebook that are in the location I want are already booked out for September. I would really like it to be centrally located, within 15 minute walking distance to everything (near Christ Church Cathedral, Trinity College, or St. Stephens Green)
Thanks!
We stated at Staunton's on the Green, which borders St. Stephen's Green on the south. We really liked it and would definitely stay there again. Walking distance to just about everything (we did take a bus to Kilmainham Gaol). Included full Irish breakfast was very good. They had our room ready for us when we arrived at 9:00 a.m. from our red eye, allowed us to check in early, and offered us breakfast that morning even though it really wasn't included until the next day. Price was very reasonable.
Last year we stayed at the Anchor House, near the Custom House and almost adjacent to the light rail. Short walk to the river and not far to Temple Bar. We've booked there again for early September.

We are travelling to Dublin in Sept/Oct 2016 for our Wedding. We are staying at The Clarence, this is not a B&B it is a boutique hotel. It's in a great location for easy walking. Good luck and travel safely.
Have you tried a hostel? We used one that had private rooms for 2. Shower included. Toilet was down the hall. We stayed here: http://www.hostelworld.com/hosteldetails.php/Jacobs-Inn/Dublin/110?sc_pos=map. 10-12 minute walk to the Spire and great breakfast at Cafe Kylemore on the corner of Earl St. and O'Connell St. Cafeteria type meal. Good food and decent prices.
