The budget Barnacles Hostel Temple Bar is a modern hostel in the heart of Dublin’s Temple Bar nightlife district. Its 32 rooms include simple but functional dorms with individual lights, power sockets, and under-bed lockers, plus private rooms that offer surprising levels of comfort. All have basic en-suite bathrooms and small balconies, and rates include a light breakfast. However, dorms are small and can be noisy, and some guests complain that bathrooms have cleanliness issues. The spacious kitchen is well equipped, and the pleasant common room has TV and games console facilities; there’s also free Wi-Fi, though the connection can be patchy, especially in rooms. Nearby Abigails Hostel has a similar vibe and slightly lower rates.

The 96-room Ardmore Hotel is a family-owned, good-value property with pleasant and modern public areas and a fresh, clean ambience. Located in a residential neighborhood in north Dublin, there's not a lot to interest visitors in the immediate locale (other than the nearby Glasnevin Cemetery), but the city center is just a 10-minute drive away (and there's a convenient bus stop nearby). Rooms are simple and warmly decorated; breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all catered for on-site. If a central location isn't important, the Travelodge Dublin Airport Ballymun is around the same price and has easier access to the airport.
