This is the hotel we stayed at when we first arrived in Dublin. We liked it well enough to return when we arrived in Dublin a day or two before we were due to take off. It was simply called the "Townhouse", and it was located just north of the Liffey. They seemed to have a wide array of accomodation available; we had a decent room (easily the most expensive place we stayed in throughout Ireland, but we'd been told to expect that).
