Dublin accommodation and airport transfer

I will be in Dublin for two nights: Sat 19 and Sun 20 June.

I have a cancellable twin room at Jury's Inn Christchurch for a total of 225 Euros (breakfast not included) for two people for the two nights.

Am I likely to find anything much cheaper given this covers a weekend? I want to be centrally located for this short stay so that it is easy to walk to most places. This seems to be the key plus to the Christchurch.

I was wondering if there are any good B&B options located in the centre of Dublin that may be wortwhile investigating further? If the above rate is a reasonably good one then I'm happy to stick with that.

As a separate question, what is the best way way to get from the airport to the Christchurch on a Saturday afternoon. I don't mind walking a bit as I won't have much to carry so was wondering if the Airport Bus is the best way (price vs time). There will be two of us.

The Aircoach is probably your best bet to get to Christchurch. It's €7 one way and €12 return. You can get off the bus at Trinity College and walk up Dame Street. It's about a 10 minute walk to Jurys from there.

Jury's Inn is a good hotel. I've stayed in a few of their hotels. They're reasonable and the rooms are good. The Christchurch location is good - close to Temple Bar, Trinity College, Grafton Street, etc.

Ditto. Stay with the Jurys option there are not may B&B's in the city Centre. You have a good arte for the middle of the tourist season and its walkable to most places.

Thanks Cailin and Siobhan. I'll take a look at the Aircoach and stick with the Christchurch.

Thank you for replying.

Joining the crowd. There was a person a few years back that hated Jurys Christchurch, but I think they must have been there during remodeling or something. I thought it was fine and the location is good.

By the way, just keep walking straight up Dame St. It changes names a couple of times by the time you get there.

tana - I'm not entirely sure what the cab fare would be...but I'd imagine it'd be around €25 - obviously this also depends on the time of day, traffic, etc.

There is an airport charge and charge for each bag do depending on how many people you have it might be better or worse cost wise.
