    Kirsty,
    Don't know either Hotel but recommend any Bed & Breakfast Guesthouse as
    they are family run and regulated by the Irish Tourist Board. Typically
    �15 per person per night and includes a good breakfast.  For a nice
    part of Dublin to stay in, I recommend the Ballsbridge area. If you're
    arriving in at a reasonable hour and not arriving at the weekend you
    can probbaly leave until you get to the airport where there's a Tourist
    Information centre. Otherwise book in advance. Here's a sample:
    Aona Guest House 01 6684349, Roxford Lodge 01 6688572, Elgin House 01
    6684497.

    Kirsty,
    
    Give me a call @ ext 3057. I have a brochure detailing places to
    stay and prices . The prices will be a bit out of date (1-2yrs) but at
    least you'll get the phone numbers .

I second the B&B recommendation... but if you want a high-class of hotel (as hotels
in Ireland tend to be overpriced and underserviced), I recommend Stephen's Hall
hotel, which is just off of St. Stephen's Green, a very pretty park, and is very
near to O'Connell Street, Trinity, etc.  The hotel is new, has private parking
included, and has lovely suites including kitchen and sitting area (all rooms are
this way).  There is also a very very good restaurant, which has live entertainment
of a quiet and enjoyable nature, from local talent. They have weekend specials for
around IEP#60/night, but of course that is subject to change.  Off the top of my head
I don't have their phone number, but of course International Information can get it
for you.

If you (or anyone) chooses to stay at Stephen's Hall hotel, and wants to feed back
to the directory of its board, please feel free to contact me - the director is a
friend of mine :)

    In the hotel scene the best value is probably Jurys of Christ Church at
    about 40 pounds per night. I understand that you can put football team
    into the room and its still 40 Pounds -ie its for the room not per
    person.
    
    Breakfast is extra. This hotel is also close to Trinity etc. Its also
    very close to Christ Church Cathederal and to the Brazen Head (Oldest
    pub in Dublin).

    
     Could anyone tell me if the Burlington Hotel is in the Trinity area
    of Dublin ?

    the Canal ..........
    
    Ah the memories ...........

    Mick,
    
    I am surprised you surfaced today. I seem to remember a certain
    prediction made last april. Wonder where that went -). Pity I wasn't
    around at that time.
    
    Whats the betting on next Sunday between Cork and Limerick. Think Mr
    O'Sullivan will part with a few pounds.
    
    Me Thinks I will put a small wager on Galway for All Ireland.

    Stunned is the word!!!!
    
    Yes indeed a very sad day..Tipperary had a bad day
    against..ah..Clare. Then again it was a Tipp man who trains
    Clare...Then again that only makes it worse!!...the shame of it all -)

    Oh boy, we'll never hear the end of it now...

    
    
    Yup !!
    
    Clare, the home of football AND hurling !!!	:-)
    
    keVin
    

    
    ...Hurling for the moment..a couple of weeks anyway...hard to
    comprehend that Tipp beat Clare in foorball and lost in Hurling.
    all we need know is to have Limerick beat Cork and we will nevr hear
    the end of it...
    
    rgs,
    
    Mick

    How right you are Mick.  It's going to be 1995 at least before you take
    any money off me!  And who knows Limerick might spring a surprise!
    
    Dermot
    
    P.S.  What were the odds, 10/1??

    
    well lord save us..Miracles can happen..Limerick have beaten Cork...and
    beat them in a thriller. 
    
    SHould be a Clare V Limerick final.......Could be the limerick mens
    year,,Glad I didn't take that bet Dermot -) -)

    I entered the base note and would just like to say thanks to everyone
    who replied with advice.
    
    We are booked into Jurys Inn for the week after next.
    
    Fingers crossed for tomorrow night.

    Re .1
    
    I tried the Aona Guest House @18 pounds per head/night. It was the
    PITS. We spent the 1st hour cleaning the room, gave up and booked out.
    
    We then moved to the Roxford Lodge @25 pounds per head/night. I cannot
    praise this place highly enough. Excellent service, high standard of
    room etc..., tremendous breakfast.....
    
    Won't go past it when I'm back across.

    	Hi,
    
    	I am planning a two day trip from Edingurgh to Dublin.  I
    	will be flying into Prestwick and taking a bus into Dublin.
    
    	I would like some ideas of where to stay, close to a good
    	pub in a safe area.  I would like to get to the Guinness
    	Visitor's Center also.  Some pointer would be appreciated.
    
    	Thanks,
    
    	/Andy
    	

    Where the blazes is Edingurgh? Sounds awful. Probably the sort of place
    they drink Younger's bitter...

    Andy,
    
    >I am planning a two day trip from Edingurgh to Dublin.  I
    >will be flying into Prestwick and taking a bus into Dublin.
    
    When I last checked Prestwick is in Scotland about 1/2 hours drive
    south of Glascow.  Are you really taking a bus from Prestwick, Scotland
    to Dublin?  Just driving from Belfast to Dublin is around 2 hours.  Now
    you want to add the drive to the Larne ferry, the ferry crossing and 
    ferry port to Belfast, all on a bus?
    
    If you only have 2 days why not fly directly into Dublin?
    
    I'll leave it to the more uptodate locals to suggest pubs and stays, 
    although I would suggest Ryan's Pub across the Liffey from the 
    Guinness Brewery.  Nice old pub with great wood work and snugs and the 
    Guinness is pretty good as well.
    
    
    Cheers,
    Paul 
                          

    
    
    Sorry, my error, I am flying out od Edinburgh on Ryanair and I
    don't remember the airport's name in Dublin.  I am taking a bus
    from the airport to Dublin Center.  Make more sense?
    
    Thanks,
