1. Blooms Hotel
Blooms Hotel is in a bustling area full of bohemian shops, restaurants and pubs (so light sleepers take note). Rooms at Blooms are comfortable, with all the usual mod cons, including TVs, free wifi, in-room safes and tea and coffee-making facilities. You’ll want to explore the local area, of course, but should you wish to stay close to home, there’s nightly music in the hotel’s Vathouse Bar, or you can take a cocktail class at the in-house nightclub, Club M, or check out the foot-tapping live traditional music sessions just steps away at The Oliver St John Gogarty bar.
The mood? Party stay.
Location perks? Slap bang in the centre of Dublin's lively Temple Bar district.
Budget range? Tipping the higher end of affordable.
