Where is the best hotel to stay in Dublin, Ireland?
Q. We are planning on going to Dublin, Ireland for our honeymoon in August. Does anyone know what the weather is like during that time of year there? Also, we were wondering if anyone had a suggestion for a nice hotel that was centrally located. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
A. the weather in August is normally quite good, temperature in the mid 20'sC on good days not too much rain.
But the weather in Ireland is notoriously temperamental and unpredictable, so the last two August's have been miserable. there was more rain in August 2009 than in September. But this is unusual, i'd expect good weather every August but i'd also keep the brolly handy.
As for hotels i'd recommend the Shelbourne Hotel http://www.theshelbourne.ie easily Dublin's most famous hotel, a lot of old world charm.
Also check the Merrion Hotel http://www.merrionhotel.com/
and maybe the Conrad http://conradhotels1.hilton.com/en/ch/hotels/index.do?ctyhocn=DUBHCCI

Where is a good place to stay for Americans visiting Dublin Ireland?
Q. Looking for a safe, nice place for a couple of people who have never been to Ireland before. Any information you could provide about areas to go to or areas to avoid would be appreciated!
A. There are many hotels on the N11 - the main road to the south-east of Dublin, and the south-east of Ireland. This is a very safe part of the city, and as such it would be more expensive. I advise against staying in the city-centre. Hotels on this route are the Radison SAS St Helens, Stillorgan Park, and the Hampton. These are very nice hotels, and shouldn't be as expensive as, say, the Westbury or the Shelbourne.
The great thing about these hotels is that you can get the Aircoach there directly from the Airport. A return ticket is about â¬14 and there's plenty of space for luggage. It will avoid having to use other public transport, or even a taxi. (BTW, taxis at the airport are notorious for over-charging Americans. I would avoid taking them to/from the airport at all costs. In the city, though, there shouldn't be any problems.)
