Dublin Hotel Overview
Until the 1990s, Ireland was not particularly well off. Tourists certainly visited the city and a tourism infrastructure was firmly in place, but Dublin itself was anything but booming.
From the early 1990s onwards, Ireland has experienced one of the most dramatic economic shifts on record. In economic terms, things have certainly changed life in the capital, and Dublin is consequently no longer a cheap place to visit.
As the economy has flooded with money, average costs have jumped. In addition, Dublin is increasingly a stylish destination, a place where fashionable people come to chill out.
All these changes mean that Dublin is an interesting city, hotel-wise. There are many hotels in Dublin that we don't feature on EuroCheapo simply because they're too expensive. Still, there are plenty of guesthouses, hostels with private rooms, medium-range boutiquey hotels, and business-class hotels in Dublin with nightly rates well under €100. Along Gardiner Street, both Upper and Lower, there's a string of budget-friendly guesthouses and hostels, many family-run. These places aren't riddled with amenities, but they're very affordable and often very friendly to boot.
