Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin
Good sized room with nice amenities, clean and comfortable. We loved the style of the hotel and lobby gathering spaces. Easy walking distance to restaurants, groceries, shopping, pubs and tourist sights at a great price.

Marlin Hotel Stephens Green
Clean rooms, very helpful and friendly staff. Lived that they had laundry facilities which was an added benefit. Food was great at the restaurant. Rooms are very small. By far the smallest of the 4 hotels we stayed in all over Ireland. Neighborhood was fantastic too!

Staycity Aparthotels, Dublin Castle
Great location. Under 5 minute walk to St Peter’s, Dublin Castle, and Christ Church Cathedral. We had paid for early check in (at 10am) but were able to check in substantially earlier when we got there earlier than we expected. Staff was great, room was nice, would definitely recommend.

The Residence Dublin
It's just a student accommodation thats been opened up for use during the summer. It's a nice area. Felt very safe and has some food and shopping nearby. Probably a 20 minute walk from the station and city centre. The accompdation was nice, modern and comfortable. Not as good as a traditional hotel ...
