The Fleet Street Hotel is a small, modern mid-range hotel with a walkable location near Trinity College in Temple Bar. While it lacks many features, like a fitness center or restaurant, the hotel offers a great base for tourists keen on exploring the area by foot. Major sights as well as pubs and shops are all within walking distance. The 93 rooms are clean and decorated in a classic modern style, but can experience street noise. They have flat-screen TVs, coffee- and tea-making facilities, and free Wi-Fi. Full Irish and continental breakfast is served daily for a fee, and next-door O’Sullivan’s Pub offers daytime meals and nightly live traditional music. The hotel mainly attracts tourist couples, but there are rooms for families. Some rooms are reached only by stairs, so guests with mobility concerns should ask ahead. The nearby Paramount Hotel sometimes offers slightly lower rates and has a nightclub.

A 2013 renovation transformed this hotel's interiors into a showcase of chic, contemporary design, without forgetting a few homey touches. The riverfront location in central Dublin is superb, with most of the city center within walking distance. Rooms also have an uber-modern aesthetic, and include impressive tech to match. A few don't have external windows, though. The restaurant, dining room, and bar are also interesting spaces worth spending some time in. It's not the cheapest option, however, so if quirky contemporary is your thing, compare rates with The Morgan the other side of the river.

The five-room Tipperary House Dublin is a budget bed-and-breakfast with a homey atmosphere that’s located outside the bustle of the city center near Phoenix Park, but it's well serviced by public transportation. Private rooms have flat-screen TVs and tea/coffee facilities -- some with private bathrooms -- while dorms have bunk beds and lockers.

The three-pearl Abrae Court Guesthouse is an affordable Victorian-era property in a quiet suburb, close to restaurants, shops, and grocery stores, and right by a bus line that gives access to central Dublin in about 30 minutes. Its 17 rooms are small and tired, with carpeted floors and dated fabrics like patterned bedspreads and curtains, but they come with tea/coffee facilities, mini-fridges, and flat-screen TVs. Other parts of the hotel, like the homey drawing room, could also use an update. A full Irish breakfast is served every morning for a fee. Travelers seeking home-style lodgings in Dublin proper might want to check out Clifden Guesthouse, which has more modern interiors, but is a bit more expensive.

Kinlay House is a top choice for travelers wanting a centrally located budget option. On the edge of Temple Bar, this hostel is right in the heart of Dublin's lively nightlife scene, and within easy reach of its major attractions. Don't expect much when it comes to style and substance, though -- it's a hostel, after all. As such, it includes a TV room, a full kitchen, and plenty of social activities. A free simple breakfast and Netflix on the communal TV are welcome extras. Rooms are humble, but colorful, and include dorms and private options, some with their own bathrooms. Location is key here, but can mean it's noisy at night, so travelers looking for a quieter spot could check out Avalon House -- which also has an on-site cafe.
