The best accommodations Ireland

Budget & Tips

Ireland offers a complete range of accommodation. No need to worry: hotels, bed & breakfasts, youth hostels, farmhouses, campsites... Ireland is also a perfect destination for woofers. In a few words, it's the opportunity to be housed and fed in exchange for working on an organic farm.

As for the budget, you should expect to pay between €15 and €40 for a dormitory bed in a youth hostel, €100 to €200 for a double room in a Bed & Breakfast and from €200 in a top-of-the-range hotel. On weekends, prices are much higher than on weekdays.

It's worth noting that by calling the establishments directly, you'll get better prices than on online booking sites.

The vast majority of establishments accept credit cards, except for a few Bed & Breakfasts and small establishments in rural areas. Please note that in Northern Ireland, as the currency is the pound sterling, a commission will be charged on each payment.

To be booked

In the very high season, between June and September, it is necessary to book your accommodation, especially around the major tourist sites of the country.

What's very local

Bed & Breakfasts abound in Ireland, even in the most remote corners. They're a great way to meet the locals; the owners are usually small families or retired couples, happy to chat with travellers. B&Bs sometimes offer the same comforts as in larger hotels, but for much less.

For food lovers

In Bed & Breakfasts, breakfast is systematically homemade and often very hearty. The Irish breakfast, a real bargain!

Smokers

As in all public places, smoking is not permitted in hotels in Ireland.
