No this isn't a statement of overconfidence, I'm going to AIF no matter who's in it. Checking out accommodation and its pricey enough. Anyone got any recommendations, looking for city centre, as long as its half decent and clean. Feckin Gresham are comedians looking 700yoyos for 2 nights.

Jury's Inn on Parnell Street. Should be less that 100 per room per night. Handy for city centre and for Croker too.

Hotels.com to get a list and then tripadvisor.com (user reviews) to sort the fleapits from the rest.

Cassidy's on Parnell Square is OK and not expensive.

(Edit - BTW, in my experience, the rate you'll get from hotels.com will be better than you'll get by contacting the hotel directly).

I know your looking for city centre,but if you stay somewhere like The Clarion in Lucan it's only 7k(20mins) from city centre,Bus right outside the hotel and would be far cheaper than a city centre hotel,Plus if ya have the woman and she wants to shop Liffey Valley is only a short walk from The Clarion

I see what you mean, Cassidys want 480 euro for 2 nights.

Out of town isn't really ideal as need to be handyish to the airport.
Went with the Best Western Academy Plaza Hotel which is supposedly just off O'Connell Street 290euro for 2 nights. Was surprised that a good few hotels are already full for the Sunday, the animals must just block book all round them year on year.

Clarion Airport Hotel 99 euro for room per night .

If you were an animal sure you might as well. Especially as there are lots of deals where you can cancel up to the week before and get your money back.

You'll get a double in the Skylon for E90.
