[Wanted] Accommodation Options for Someone Just off the Plane

FrCrilly

Hi All,

I know a foreign national about to arrive in Dublin within the next 2 weeks. She’s looking for somewhere short term to stay immediately once she arrives so she can take some time to view more permanent accomodation.

Can anyone tell me what are usually considered the best options in these circumstances? Do people usually go to hotels, hostels or any other form of accomodation. Can anyone recommend a good facility in Dublin that would cost effectively do the job?

Thanks In Advance

A Canadian women I worked with stayed in a hostel for a few months when she first came to Ireland, before moving in somewhere. Best bet is to visit Usit on the South side, near O'Connell bridge, and they'll give you a list of places nearby that charge by the week (also post up if you find one that charges by the hour;) Get people asking on PI for one all the time).

Ask in hostels and B&Bs if they do weekly rates.
