Dublin Hotels Close to City Center

There are many hotels to choose from in or close to City Center (Temple Bar neighborhood), but we recommend staying on the South Side of Dublin - South of the River Liffey. We recommend the following hotels: The Alex Hotel (Close to Trinity College, Merrion Square Park, and National Gallery of Art) www.thealexhotel.ie Or Buswells Hotel (Older hotel with a lot of charm! Close to Saint Stephen’s Green Park and the luxurious Shelbourne Hotel) https://www.buswells.ie/en/

The Mespil Hotel (Modern, around the corner from lively Baggot Street with many restaurants and our favorite pub!) www.mespilhotel.com 3.

Rental Cars

For guests who are up for the adventure of driving in Ireland on the left side of the road, we recommend going to your nearest AAA branch in the USA and applying for an international driver's license. It costs about $20 and will make your experience of renting a car a little easier!

Travel Note

Public Transportation

Public Transportation in Dublin is quite good. The DART train (Dublin Area Rapid Transit) will take you up and down the coast of Ireland. Beautiful day trips can be taken to Howth, Bray, or Greystones without needing a car! The "Luas" street trains and bus systems are easy to use. (Buses do not stop for you unless you wave them down). LEAP Cards are the name of the public transit pass you might want to buy when you get here.

Taxis and Ride Shares

Taxis and rideshares are available in Dublin. Many taxis only take cash. We recommend downloading the Uber App if you don't have it installed on your phone already!
