I fancy having a couple of nights break in Dublin. Anyone know of good hotels/deals on hotels. I hear Temple Bar is the place to be.
Any Advice ?

Cheers in Advance of all the great suggestions.

If you want posh, try the Morrison (opposite Temple Bar) you can get deals for about £100 a night.

Try Expedia to see if they can beat the rack rates for the hotel - might save a few quid

The Clarence on Wellington Quay(actually in Temple Bar) - spookily part owned by U2 too- not cheap but niiiiiice.

i must agree with fat boy , the clarence is a very good place to stay. As for things to do, the most popular must be the guinness store house ( a pint of the black stuff in the sky bar is a must ) then if you are looking for a bit of history, a visit to trinity college to see the book of kels. Then on the food front you must try gallaghers boxty house in temple bar, it is one of the best meals i have ever had, and as for pubs the world is your oyster as they say, so many you wont know where to start. I have sampled a guinness in most of the temple bar and city centre pubs and they are all very good, but i have to say that o'neills on suffolk street (opposite the main dublin tourism centre) is my personal favourite.

i am sure that you will enjoy yourself no-matter what you do whilst you are there, it is one of the most laid-back cities that i have ever visited, so be prepared to wait a while for your guinness to settle.

enjoy
