Hi Julia,<BR><BR>At the risk of confusing you, my wife and I had the same decision you are making a couple of weeks ago.<BR><BR>We chose Trinity Lodge over your choices - and were exceptionally pleased. G R E A T location, and they have parking (suspect you will just park the car and walk while you are in Dublin).<BR><BR>Have a great time.<BR>

Thanks John. I tried them and they are booked for when we are going in Aug.<BR><BR>Another suggestion was Staunton's on the Green.

Avoid Staunton on the Green at all costs. Manned by unfriendly staff, its scruffy and run down, badly in need of redecoration, Front rooms are noisy.<BR>When we tried to book in the handyman or whoever he was was lounging over the reception and we had to wait till he had finished his personal conversation with the receptionist before she acknowledged us. Needless to say we did not stay.
