Priceline Hotel: 4/5* Dublin North or South City center

[goodricb]

Just Started trying some 4* and 5* Bids at a pretty low rate.

Failed Bids for 5 * $85, $100, $115.

Failed Bids for 4* $80, $95

Any ideas on how high I might have to go? Prices are fairly expensive even for simple guesthouses and private hostels.

I tried upto $165 for the 5* hotel level in South City Center Dublin.

I tried up to $185 for the 5* in city center south with no luck. I got a counter offer for $283 which I assume is the Conrad.

I tried up to $120 for the 4* in city center south with no luck.

I tried $85 and $95 for the north and south city center. I got a counter offer for $134 for the north city center which is less preferred.

The counter offer to City Center South could have been the Westin. We got a similar counter offer last year. We ended up staying there and loved it.

I haven't spent much time in Dublin, but we walked north of the river and I don't think I'd have a problem staying there. We only went about 8 blocks north- and a four or five blocks east/west of Aston (Ashton?) Quay, so I am only talking about that area.

We had a really tough time finding reasonable accomodations in the city. Good luck. Have tea at the Queen of Tarts, if you like that sort of thing. The Guinness factory is not to be missed, same with Trinity College and the museum with the Book of Kells, but I'll bet you already knew that.
