Jaysis lads is it me or have the nightly rate for hotels gone through the roof. Even the off the beat ones are mad money per night. I told one that i wouldnt be having breakfast and he said they would take €3 off the bill...( anyone ever had a hotel breakfast in Ireland for €3?) As for the food if it doesnt go in a deep fat fryer or a single pot forget it. Im embarrassed for the tourists gets ripped off!!! |

To be fair, in Dublin, it's peak season July, it's All Ireland hurling final weekend and there are plenty of nice hotels in Dublin for €180-€220.
Lots of people complaining like hotels should be at price of 15-20yrs ago, €100 for two B&B or something. Those days are gone!
Rising wages that we all wanted, lack of staff, rising energy, rising fuel have all put 30%+ on hotel costs in the last 3 years |

I'm heading to Dublin next week; €139 for two in a decent city centre hotel for one night I thought wasn't too bad. The biggest rip off I found was if you wanted to include breakfast...one place I looked at was €70 more to include breakfast for two  |

I can agree to some of that but still a rip off in a small town hotel at €190 for a room they banned battery hens from. I actually got a lecture from the manager how they were short staffed...after a 12 hr day i was close to telling him to " go away" |

There's enough places in town for a nice breakfast especially the area you're staying in |

Breakfast is one thing that seems to be out in all hotels now. I can only assume its a staffing and food cost issue, because its across the board. Staying in a hotel this weekend and they want €17 a head for breakfast!
Not a problem in a big town or city, you'll have options. But not in more remote locations! |

The hurlers in the GAA All Ireland final are both returning to their own Counties after the final this year , first time ever , that itself tells its own story as regards hotel prices in Dublin.. hotels in Ireland, at those times ,are legalized extortionists...the prices they charge are scandalous. |

Two years ago, straight after Covid? Doubt it. Even in 2019....I cant fully recall but I doubt they were that much cheaper in July than now. Yes, some hotels are charging crazy prices, but The Burlington, The Samuel, Maldron, Cassidys are all around €190-€220 this Saturday night.
Not many city's in Europe where you get a city centre hotel for much less than that. Tbf. |

"Use a vpn, that’s what we and our friends on here do for events.
The prices are lower when there sites think you’re not from here.
"
I subscribed to Norton vpn, set it up, tested it (whatismyipaddress.com), checked on two different browsers and prices for flights and hotels were exactly the same when I set my location to Hong Kong and then to Poland.
Is there something else I need to do? |
