Hi guys, I'm planning a one-night stay in Dublin in mid-December.

I will be meeting someone at the airport and then travelling to Dublin city centre on the bus. Somewhere close to where the bus drops you off or nearby the train station (will be getting train to Belfast the next day) would be perfect and all I really need is a 2 or 3 Star costing as cheap as possible!

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
:)

Dublin isn't cheap! The Busaras (main bus station) and Connolly station are across the road from each other so that would be the area.

Jury's Inn on Custom House Quay springs to mind but you'd probably have to search the likes of Expedia to get a good rate. Make sure it's that one - none of the other Jurys are in the right area. The North Star opposite the station used to fit the bill but seems to have had a major facelift since I was last there and has gone all up market. But there's no harm in checking Expedia for your date.

Otherwise scroll down this board for recommendations and check for those that mention close to Busaras/Connolly/Custom House.

You can still get the North Star cheap on Expedia or Secret Hotels and there are a couple of cheap and cheerfuls right by the bus station, Jacobs Hotel and Isaacs. Stayed in one once, not sure which... very clean and comfortable but couldn't sleep very well for the noise of the buses coming and going at all hours.

Temple bar is a great place in city centre Dublin (south side) for nightlife, bars and restaurants, but Dublin is expensive.
