It’s cheap to travel to Dublin during low season periods such as February to April and October to early December. Hostels, bed and breakfast and hotels are in greater demand over the Christmas and New Year festive season and summer months and prices in hotels rise accordingly.
Choose spring or autumn for the best deal and you’ll enjoy a city that is every bit as beautiful but less crowded. You can count on a certain standard of accommodation and it will often exceed your expectations. You might find that you’re placed in a luxury hotel for much less or that you have a comfortable and spacious room in one of the clean, well-organized hostels or motel style accommodation close to the airport.
You can find a cheap deal by booking in advance or at the last minute.
