Not too bad, but not walking distance - you'd be better leaving from there on the sunday in the car and heading on up the road after the game.  If you want to stay the sunday night that's another matter.  There's also Cassidys, Gresham, royal dublin etc which are all in or around o'connell st, jurys ifsc, jurys christchurch, piles just over the river near christchurch direction etc.

Seriously Oak, can't imagine you getting anything for 40euro too near Croke Park. Especially not for the National League Final. Prices will go up!

Good Luck, beat them Kerry hoors. Let them know, Ulster's still going strong! ;)

You beat me to it...3 minutes walk?! Wowzers. If you're staying up for the Sunday, I'd agree with whoever mentioned The Jackson Court...not beside Croker by any means, but there's a 99% chance that you'll end up there that night anyhow, and the room upstairs might come in handy!
