We
were lucky enough to stay in a friend's apartment whilst we were in
Dublin, so we didn't get to experience any accommodation in the Dublin
area. In general though, if money is no option, you'll want to stay
in the city centre or in the areas just South of the centre. North
of the river will have mainly cheaper accommodation, as it's more
of a blue collar area, though there are still a couple of upmarket
hotels there. Expect Dublin accommodation prices to be much higher
than the rest of the country.
