The 63-room Arlington hotel is a good value option in Temple Bar, Dublin's popular cultural and nightlife center. Rooms are generic but spacious, and offer small flat-screen TVs and electric kettles. Bathrooms are clean, but some are a little cramped. Beyond the basic rooms, there is an on-site restaurant and pub, Legends, that hosts Celtic dancers every night and serves a reasonably priced three-course meal. There are few extras here -- no fitness center or spa, and Internet is an additional fee -- but the hotel is a good deal for the location.

The Beresford Hotel IFSC (formerly called Hotel Isaacs) is a mid-sized option located near the Custom House on the north side of the River Liffey. Rooms are a generous size but furniture and decor is basic. The Georgian wing of the hotel is home to huge, bright suites with high ceilings and nicer decor. Some rooms have tube TVs while others have small flat-screens. All rooms have electric kettles and clean bathrooms. The lobby is a comfortable place to relax by the working fireplace and an Italian restaurant, Il Vignardo, has interesting vaulted ceilings. The hotel is also home to a casual bar, Le Monde Cafe Bar. While the location is very convenient for the IFSC, the main bus station, and the Abbey Theatre, some guests complain about noise from the LUAS trams and the frequent buses.

Trinity City Hotel is a unique choice in Dublin's city center. This 198-room hotel is decorated in Middle Eastern style with rich fabrics, colors, and eclectic furnishings. The style is especially evident in the restaurant, Cafe Cairo, which features interesting lighting, carpets, and artwork. Bright colors make their way into the rooms as well, all of which offer big flat-screen TVs, comfortable beds, and fun design touches. Bathrooms range from small, to spacious enough for a Jacuzzi tub, depending on the room. Hotel features include a small fitness center, an interior courtyard off the restaurant, and a fun bar. While the location near Trinity College is excellent, the one main complaint about this hotel is close proximity to a noisy fire station.

The Dublin Citi Hotel is a small, 27-room property with a very convenient location. Bright rooms are on the small side, with duvets, electric kettles, and bathrooms with shower/tub combos. This hotel has few amenities, with no lobby and small tube TVs in some rooms. The bar downstairs feels much more polished and is a popular spot for nightlife. As a result, the hotel leaves out earplugs for guests on arrival -- it can get pretty noisy on weekends. However, Wi-Fi is free and the location is convenient for exploring Temple Bar and other south side attractions.

The Davenport Hotel is a solid mid-range hotel in a central location near Merrion Square.

The President's Bar is a popular spot for after work drinks and Lanyon's Restaurant serves a hearty daily breakfast. Hotel amenities include a business center and small fitness room, but there is a pesky fee for Wi-Fi. This traditional, elegant hotel has a convenient location within walking distance of many sights, such as Trinity College and Grafton Street.

The 88-room Metro Hotel Dublin Airport is a three-pearl airport hotel with a regular shuttle bus making the 10-minute trip to the terminals. However, there's a disappointing fee for round-trip service. Attractions and nightlife downtown are just a 20-minute drive or bus ride away. There's a restaurant that serves food all day -- it generally gets solid marks from previous guests -- and an underground parking garage offers park-and-fly services. Standard Rooms are nicely done with a stylish gray color scheme, while larger Suites and Studios have useful kitchenettes. Standard features include flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi, but there is no air-conditioning. It's worth comparing rates with Holiday Inn Express Dublin, which is a bit closer to the airport, and includes breakfast and airport shuttle trips in rates.

The Clayton Hotel Ballsbridge is housed in a striking, 19th-century building that was once a school and is surrounded by attractive grounds. It is beautiful and grand from the outside, and makes a great first impression with a big, modern lobby full of cozy seating. However, rooms aren't quite as modern. While they are clean and spacious, decor is generic and some have old tube TVs. All rooms have electric kettles, and suites offer contemporary decor and updated bathrooms. Hotel amenities include a large restaurant and bar with a sunny patio for the summer months. The Clayton Hotel Ballsbridge is a good value pick located in the safe, upscale neighborhood of Ballsbridge, a 10-minute drive from the city center. The DART train is close by for easy transportation to centrally located sights.

The Lombard Townhouse is an upper-middle-range option in central Dublin, offering a surprisingly stylish place to stay for what’s essentially a pub with rooms. The eight rooms sport contemporary design and have spacious modern bathrooms. There’s a good breakfast available, though it’s not included in rates, and the pub serves tasty traditional Irish food all day. Guests report some maintenance and housekeeping issues, and other downsides include tap water that's not suitable to drink and a required deposit for using the TV remote controls in rooms. Just along Pearse Street, the upper-middle-range O’Neills Victorian Pub & Townhouse offers an alternative with comparable rates and a similar vibe above a historic pub that dates to 1850.

My Place Dublin Hotel is a tidy budget property in a highly trafficked area that's within walking distance of many top attractions. The hostel/hotel hybrid offers 37 private rooms with pleasant, contemporary decor and en-suite bathrooms, as well as shared dorms with bunk beds -- but there have been some complaints of poor shower temperature and water pressure, as well as noise issues due to thin walls. The hotel serves an unlimited buffet breakfast (for a fee) in a high-ceilinged dining room, and there's also a lounge with a pool table and leather sofas. Other features include a communal kitchen and free morning walking tours. Travelers might want to compare with Isaacs Hostel, which offers a free breakfast and has both private and shared rooms, but there are no en-suite bathrooms.
