HOTELS IN DUBLIN - LAST MINUTE!!!
 
My husband and I are both 28 years old. We are going on our honeymoon and will be in Dublin for two nights in early June. We want to stay in a nice hotel, but do not want to spend a lot of money. On average, I would like to spend $200 US dollars a night. If you have ANY suggestions it would be much appreciated. Thanks!!!

Depends on the night of the week and where you want to stay and what you consider nice. Hilton, not a chance at that rate.

If you are there on a weekend, you may have a difficult time so get on it quickly. Less expensive hotels: Jury's (basically a Days Inn type place), I stayed at the Best Western Royal Dublin on O'Connell St which was fine, not fancy, but I got a great rate; I've stayed at the Pembroke Townhouse which is in the much quieter Ballsbridge section of town.

Generally expect smaller rooms in European hotels than you will find in the States.

Do try the Pembroke Townhouse.. It is in a very quiet area..About 1K (??) from Grafton Street and St. Stephen's green and a great waLK. tHE BREAKFAST IS GOOD, THE HOP ON HOP OFF ABOUT 4/5 BLOCKS AWAY AND THE STAFF MOST HELPFUL.Looks like I hit the caps button!!! Anyhow they have a web site and if you tell them about your honeymoon you may get special treatment. We have stayed there 2 times and sent out daughter and son-in-law there for 2 nights on their 25th. They were up graded and I think they got a bottle of wine..In all a very nice place.Can't remember the $. Another treat is high tea @ the 5 star Merrion Hotel. 1 order is enough for 2 and delightful. Happy honeymoon...Amer_can

The Pembroke is about a 15 minute walk to Grafton St.
