August is right in the middle of the tourist season here in Ireland and Dublin and will be chock full of people looking for rooms at hotels and bed & breakfasts. It is best to book early-here are some of our suggestions in written form and here is a customized google map that we have created.

In Dublin:
There are many hotels and B&B’s in Dublin, all ranging in price and quality. Georgina Campbell has a good guide to Dublin hotels. The Jurys Inn at Christchurch is recommendable, as it is reasonably priced at a very central location. The Mespil Hotel is a nice hotel on the southside right on the Grand Canal in a nice area called Ballsbridge and isn't too expensive and popular with American tourists. Another good website for Dublin accommodation is www.dublintourist.com. A tip: search for hotels in City Centre or City South.

In Blessington area:
In general, addresses outside the cities are very vague with often no road names or house numbers, which can make things a bit difficult at times. Just remember that people are very nice and helpful, so just ask for help.

Indkvartering

August er midt i højsæsonen og øen er fyldt med turister. Det er en god ide at reservere værelse så hurtigt som muligt. Her er nogle forslag og et lille kort vi har lavet over B&B'er i Blessington området google kort.

Der er mange hoteller og B&B’er i Dublin vidt rangerende i pris og kvalitet. Georgina Campbell har nogle gode forslag til hoteller i Dublin. Vi vil især anbefale Jurys Inn ved Christchurch, da prisen er god og beliggenheden er super. En anden god hjemmeside er www.dublintourist.com, hvor der er masser af forslag til hoteller, B&B’er osv. Et lille tip: søg efter steder som er beliggende i City Centre eller South City.

Blessington området
Adresser udenfor byerne herovre er tit meget udetaljerede uden vejnavn eller husnummer, hvilket kan gøre det lidt svært at finde rundt herovre. Bare husk på at folk herovre er rigtig flinke og hjælpsomme, så bare spørg om vej.
