How to Find Cheap Hotels in Dublin Ireland. Dublin, the capital of Ireland, is located on the country's east coast. It's Ireland's largest city in terms of both population and land: whether you want to see historical sights, crawl the pubs, or shop at interesting boutiques, there are hundreds of things to see and do here. Fortunately, while Dublin is a very popular tourist destination, it still offers you plenty of choices for cheap accommodations.
Learn the areas of Dublin, Ireland. They are organized around the River Liffey, which runs from the city's west side to St. Georges Channel on the east. Accommodations will be designated as within the Dublin North Area (Northside), the Dublin South Area (Southside) or within the City Centre.
Locate your cheap accommodations by knowing that Dublin has postal codes numbered "Dublin 1" to "Dublin 24". With a few exceptions in the City Centre, almost all of the odd numbers are north of the River Liffey and most of the even numbers are to the south.
Realize that while the majority of tourist attractions are on the Southside, your choices for cheap accommodations are mostly located in the Dublin North Area, the odd Dublin postal code numbers.
Take advantage of the drinking culture surrounding the oldest college in Ireland, Trinity College. Mostly south of the river in the Dublin City Centre, the Temple Bar and Trinity College areas contain well over 40 pubs and clubs worth visiting.
Forget Dublin City Centre hotels for cheap accommodations, since they can cost hundreds of dollars per night.
Consider the cheaper hotels located closer to the airport in postal code Dublin 9. These far-north hotels can cost well below $100 per night for a single. On the other hand, they remove you from Dublin's exciting central action.
Choose a hostel if you want to get close to Dublin City Centre without spending an arm and a leg. Hostels are close enough to walk to most of the desirable places, many of which are on the Northside in Dublin 1 near the harbor. Prices and accommodations range from a little over $10 for a large mixed dorm to around $50 for private en-suite accommodations.
Stay in the heart of the action: reserve a room at Trinity College. With a continental breakfast (a full Irish Breakfast is available for a few dollars more), most rooms at Trinity cost significantly less than $100 per night. Discount rates are available for children under 14. You can make reservations through their online system or email them directly.
Get a little closer to the Dublin City Centre by checking out the B&Bs and guesthouses scattered across both sides of the river. While you will not find places in Dublin 2 (the very center of all the action), you will be closer to the City Centre than the cheapest hotel accommodations.
