Hotels, apartments and rooms in Ireland

Hotels

Many people dream of visiting Ireland, but few ever get the chance to do so. From the ancient castles to the underground catacombs of Boyne Valley, there is so much to see and do for any tourist. Finding great accommodations while staying in Ireland is the key to enjoying a vacation there. Here are the most common types of accommodations in the country, and where you can find them.

Hotels

Many of the hotels in Ireland are owned privately, which means that it might be a bit harder to find prominent hotel chains in the region. Hotels like the Merrion are slightly upscale, including beautiful rooms, dining rooms and swimming pools. Regular hotels will not typically offer breakfast unless you pay an additional fee. Hotels like these can be found all over Ireland, from Dublin to Doorin.

Hostels

For those unfamiliar to lodging in hostels, the prospect may at first be a little daunting. However, hostels are one of the most convenient and equally budget friendly ways to stay in Ireland. Hostels function by having visitors pay to live in a dorm-like room with a native roommate. Your roommate often acts as a personal guide for the region. In addition, you will often split expenses with him or her. It is an ideal way for college students to travel, or couples looking for a cheap, effective way to see the Irish countryside.

Bed and Breakfast

For the couple seeking a romantic retreat in Ireland, bed and breakfasts are the perfect choice. For example, some of the bed and breakfasts in Doolin are set against the gorgeous cliffs of Doolin on the seashore. The Emohruo Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast and the Twin Peaks are two lovely examples of this. Get treated to luxurious rooms and a delicious breakfast every morning before you take a stroll by the ocean.

Chain Hotels

You can find basic hotels in bigger cities like Dublin, such the Four Seasons or even Best Western. Simply doing a quick Internet search of well known hotel chains in Ireland will provide you with all the information you need to know.

Ireland is a popular tourist destination, particularly from June through October, so it is wise to book hotel reservations well in advance. In addition, airplane ticket reservations should also be made ahead of time, especially if you will be arriving in one of the larger cities during a festival.
