Have a group going to Ireland and had to change the location to Dublin last minute. We need housing from 21-27 July 2011. Six people in the group. Ages are 13,15,23,23,37,52 . We lost our deposit for the original destination and are looking for some affordable accommodations. Hostels, B&B...anything that will give a comfortable stay in Dublin. Thanks!
We stayed in apartments last time we were in Dublin. We had a 3br place, the 3rd bedroom only had one bed, but they left us a mattress in the living room for the 6th person. The website is www.brookman.ie. They're a 10-minute bus ride from city centre, in a residential neighborhood with shops. They were running a special when we booked, we paid 120 euro/night.
I stayed at Trinity College and you have the option for private rooms with ensuite bathroom. Very clean and nice to stay at the college. https://accommodation.tcd.ie/kxHotel/
I just stayed in Dublin for 3 nights at Globetrotters Hostel. I thought the location was handy since it was just a few blocks off O'Connell Street. They have dorms and private rooms with ensuite bath.
