Need Help! Dublin hotels are full!

A friend and I will be staying in Dublin June 7th-June 11th and every hotel and hostel is full on Friday and Saturday night! Any suggestions? Please help us, we are about to have to sleep on park benches, lol.
Thanx in advance for any info.

Try a B & B. My wife and I stayed at a B & B just north of Dublin when on our honeymoon. I think the town's name was Swords.

I checked with the Harcourt Hotel and they have availability for those dates for a twin room, however I will say, that the Harcourt can be quite noisy at night due to pubs and clubs in the area. You might like to check it out.



Double or Twin: Twin or Double Room for Double Occupancy. Rate includes taxes. Breakfast is additional cost and will be added to your bill on Departure. Full Irish and Continental breakfast available.
Room price per night: Euro 181

The tricky night is June 10. Hostelworld.com has one offering for June 10, if you search that night only.

Then you can find availability for other nights separately.

I assume you've tried Fitzwilliam guesthouse (not hotel) -- I also recommend trying Trinity College.

Alternatively -- stay out of town in Skerries or other trainride-away spot.

Go with trinity. They just renovated some new rooms in the older section of the college and I hear they are renting for the summer as well in the Hall at the back of the college. The rates are good and you are smack in town.

We just returned from Dublin. We stayed at the Westbury - but before checking into the mega hotel, we stayed three days at a B&B north of the Liffey - called Anchor Guest House. Great place. Try them!

Hello,
We were in Dublin last June. We stayed at Trinity, but their online reservation showed no rooms. We also stayed at Botanic View B&B which is near Glasnevin Cemetary north Dublin. It was very nice and the price was 33 euro per person. The owner was just wonderful and full of information.
We already had our reservation and U2 scheduled a third show at Croake Park that night. The pubs were packed with fans and there were helicopters flying overhead, etc. Crazy fun.
