B & B or hotel in Dublin?

**shakermaker1982** · 29/08/2006, 12:20 PM

for the all Ireland weekend (16th to 18th)? Everywhere seems to be fully booked or wanting 250 euro's a night

Anybody got any tips on where I could stay.

Cheers if you can help

If I was you, I'd try ringing the Comfort Inn, Smithfield on (353) 14850900
It's new so it might not be over booked.

Remember though that the Dubs might be a bit p�ssed off about not being in the final.

I stayed in the Paramount before and thought it was fine. Not badly priced and usually had rooms.

If all else fails, you could try the Beacon Hotel out in Sandyford.
It's at the end of the Luas line...

God I did work experience there when I was in college but left coz they wouldnt let me work with my nose pierced....loved it tho coz got in free to Fibber Magees everynite during college then! I only lived over the road so was dead handy. But yeah its a bit of a kip.

The Ardmore in Finglas is nice and reasonably priced....not sure on avail tho.

The Clarence is my hovel of choice tho!

If the Clarence is a hovel, you must hate the Westbury!

When were you going to Fibbers?

**Magicme** · 30/08/2006, 2:04 PM

The reason I call the Clarence a hovel is coz I got a bad cold from staying there! Got soaked walking back from Point seeing Moby and they only had feather pillows and duvets so only had a sheet and dressing gown to keep me warm. Ended up really sick!

Went to fibbers from 92 to 94.

Alright then it wasn't you I got off with that night in '95 (monaghan girl with a nose stud)

I should hope not!!! Was a respectful married woman in 95! But had it been prior to my 94 wedding its quite likely to have been me!

cheers for the recommendations everyone - I tried most of em but all were booked. I've managed to wrangle a place for me and my dad that isn't that pricey. I just need a ticket now!!!!
