List of 9 Budget Hotels in Dublin

While most central locations are likely booked solid, several options lie just outside the hustle and bustle. The Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport (€179) offers a deluxe double room, but keep in mind its distance (7.4km) from the heart of the city. Similarly, the Talbot Hotel Stillorgan (€199) provides a twin room, situated about a 20-minute drive (depending on traffic) from the action.

Balancing Price and Location:

For a slightly higher price point, some options offer a better balance between affordability and location. Gleesons Townhouse in Booterstown (€219) provides a double room with breakfast included and a 15-minute Dart ride to the city centre. The Harcourt Hotel (€219) boasts a triple room perfect for groups, situated near St. Stephen’s Green and major attractions, with easy access via the Luas Green Line.

Central Dublin on a Budget:

If staying in the heart of the city is a priority, a few options remain. The Clayton Hotel Burlington Road (€228) offers a standard king room for two, a 25-minute walk from Grafton Street, while the House Bedrooms Dublin (€252) provides a double room near St. Stephen’s Green (be aware of the on-site nightclub). 

Comfort and Convenience:

The choices significantly increase for people looking for a cosy stay with easy access. The small double room at the centrally located (1.5 miles) Roxford Lodge Hotel (€249) comes with the option to add breakfast. The Phoenix Park Hotel (€256), overlooking Phoenix Park and close to public transport links, offers a double room with breakfast available for an additional charge.

The Splurge Option:

Finally, for those willing to stretch their budget a touch further, Dublin One (€259) offers a standard double room right in the heart of the celebrations.

Remember: Prices may fluctuate depending on availability, so act fast if you find a room that suits your budget and location needs!
