Where to sleep in Dublin — the neighborhoods and the picks, siesta side to fiesta side.
Temple Bar & the core
Central and loud — great for one night, brutal for a week of sleep.
St Stephen's Green & Georgian south
Elegant squares, museums, quieter nights.
Smithfield & Stoneybatter
The local side: markets, good coffee, the best trad pubs.
Portobello & the canal
Canal-side, walkable, calmer and better value.
Price note
Dublin hotels are genuinely expensive — book early or stay by the canal.
