Hotels in Dublin
Family Friendly: One of the best kid-friendly hotels in Dublin is the Ashling owned by Best Western. The rooms are moderately priced and of adequate size and the hotel is located right by Phoenix Park but it is a ways from the City Center but Dublin offers great pubic transportation. Bewely’s is another family favorite because the price isn’t determined by number of people. Also, the Bewely’s architecture is stunning as it is housed in an old orphanage from the 1800’s. If space is what you are looking for when it comes to a family hotel then Camden Court is probably the best bet. It is a little more expensive but it offers great amenities like flat screen TV’s and a swimming pool.
High-end: Dublin has a number of high-end hotels to choose from. When it comes to fashionable hotels in Dublin look no further than the boutique style hotel—Dylan. It is laden with rich colors, decadent furnishings, and big Victorian rooms. It is located in less busy area of town but is just a short distance from the city center. The Dylan mixes the hospitality of the Irish with luxurious surroundings to create a truly extraordinary experience.

Dún Laoghaire
Pronounced “Dun Leary,” this quaint harbor town is the perfect place for you stay in Ireland. It is only a 25-minute DART ride to the city center of Dublin, plus there is loads of stuff to do in the town itself. The people are extremely friendly and willing to help and often offer help when you look lost. If you are looking for a place to stay that is a little out of the way of the hustle and bustle of Dublin, there is no better place than the Mulgrave Lodge Bed & Breakfast. It is located on Mulgrave Street, which is just minute from the center of Dun Laoghaire. In fact, most things in this little village seem just minutes from one another. The B&B is family owned and whether the son Seth greets you or the Beck’s themselves, the welcome is always warm. They certainly make you feel at home. Judy comes in with loads of food each morning. Staying at Mulgrave will help you feel rested and energize for your travels. It is also just a 5-10 minute walk from the DART station and it is easy to get to and from Dublin each day if you want, but there is a lot to explore around Dun Laoghaire, Dalkey and Sandy Cove. The hosts at the Mulgrave are happy to give you any suggestions you want.
