Hi all

I'm set to start a contract in Dublin at the beginning of May and will need a hotel/bed&breakfast.

Being a typical contractor I'll need to have free wifi in the room, ideally en-suite and it should be friendly and comfortable as I need to stay there for 2 months (plus)

Anybody got any good tips?

Any links/hotel names greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Robert

How much do you want to pay. CM knows some very nice hotels in Dublin...(For nice read "Expensive")

Lived in Dublin for 3 years, but can't recommend any hotels.

What I would say is there are loads of internet cafes in Dublin city centre, so if you only really need the web for a couple of hours at night, you can get it easily outside a hotel for much cheaper

Food recommendation - Siam Thai on St Andrew Street!

Does it have to be in Dublin ?

Could you look a bit further out and get the dart in/out everyday ?

No idea. Apart from what i can see on google maps, I know nothing about Dublin at the moment...

Will check out the dart and costs, etc.

If that's ok, do you have any recommendations?

Bray by the sea is nice and about 30 mins on the dart - Mr P's lot come from there.

I stayed at this hotel for a weekend in 2005 and would definitely recommend it. The centre is within reasonable waliking distance and it is also close to some good bars by the canal.

I can't answer for that, but I can testify to some leching potential !!

WHS. Its a nice walk along the canal and about a 15 min walk to St Stephens green/Grafton Street.

I was working in Lower Baggott street for 6 months and the Client would not provide an apartment (despite originally agreeing to it) which would have been cheaper. A problem with apartments in Dublin is they are expensive and reluctant to do lets less than 12 months.

I stayed at the Mespil and it was good. After a while they got to know me so I got upgraded rooms, express checkin and preferential treatment as a result.

Its also very handy for drop off points to/from the airport which is handy.

In general I would certainly not hesitate to stay there again.
