Finding Perfect Hotels In Dublin
There’s a simple rule of thumb you need to bear in mind when looking for a Dublin hotel – what is it you actually require from the place you’re going to be staying in? This sounds very obvious, but my experience is that people often forget this basic principle.
So let’s examine the question in more detail, so we can develop a set of criteria to use when sifting through the list of hotels in Dublin we can find online. Once we’ve done this, we are in a much better position to choose the ideal hotel for our particular purposes.
Starting at the beginning, you’ll obviously have a reason to be staying at a hotel in the first place. There are plenty of possible reasons here – visiting people you know, attending a function etc. – but the two we find the most frequent are for a break or holiday, or for work purposes.
Next, you need to think of where it actually is in Dublin that you want to stay. For instance, do you want to be near to the sights, the nightlife or the town centre, or is it essential that you stay near to where you’ll be working, or perhaps there are other issues that will come into play.
Next you’ll want to be thinking about what sort of facilities you require from the hotel. It’s a long time since you’d have to check whether a hotel would have en suite bathrooms or not, as most nowadays do, but you could potentially save some expense if this isn’t important to you. You might also be interested in there being a bar and restaurant on site.
Back in the day, it was unusual for holiday accommodation to include a gym or swimming pool within, but this is much more common now. And if you feel the need to go on the internet while you’re away, you should check if the hotel has wifi internet access, which is increasingly the norm.
We said you could potentially save money with a hotel with fewer facilities, and obviously this could be a big factor in your choice. There’s no point going after a luxurious hotel if you can’t afford to pay the necessary amount of cash to stay there. In Dublin, there are many hotels that are available that will suit any pocket, so you should certainly find what you’re after.
Now you have all this info to hand – location, facilities etc. – you should look into each of the hotels that are available in Dublin that meet up with your requirements. You’ll probably find several that tick all the boxes, so you now simply need to choose your favourite.
Finally, of course, you’ll need to include the dates of your stay. Many hotels will not be available for all the days you want, so you’ll want to check against each of them to ensure you can get the hotel you desire when it comes to booking online.
