    Hello! My fiance and I are traveling to Ireland from November 27 to December 7 for the first time, and need a place to stay. We are trying to spend as little as possible so we can spend more in the pubs... well that is my plan. I am looking to go as cheap as possible. Please, if you can recommend any places I would really appreciate it. In the states we have Motel 6 that starts at about $40.00 per night. Something in this range would be great. Thank you!

    Hi Shawn,

    You should look into B&B's - they are very affordable around the country. I recently paid €35 per person per night for a place in Galway and €30 per person for one in Kilkenny so I think these should be the average prices you are looking at. Plus it includes a full Irish breakfast which is worth about €10 in itself.

    Hotels are getting a cheaper especially midweek so you might even end up getting yourself a hotel room for the same price as a B&B. http://www.discoverireland.ie/ has a good search engine for you to browse options.

    bewleys hotels have rooms for €50 a night, the ballsbridge hotel would be closest to city centre http://www.bewleyshotels.com/seeyousoon-irish.asp

    bewleys are a big step up in class compared to motel 6

    for other options check here http://www.hostelworld.com

    travelodge that someone recommended are probably the closest we have here to american style motels, far from town centre, they usually have restaurants on premises though

    There is a Travelodge in Rathmines which is a lovely are to stay and only a 15minute walk to the city centre and it is very well serviced by public transport. Rathmines has lots of shops, bars and restaurants. The bar Toast is great...lovely food, lots of booze and great DJs.

    Travelodges are cheap, clean and the staff are usually really helpful. My mate from San Francisco was over recently and stayed in a B&B in Rathmines...I'll find out the name and price and put it here for you.
