Ireland Budget Hotels and Hostels

Accommodation options range from bare and basic to pricey and palatial. The spine of the Irish hospitality business is the ubiquitous B&B, but in recent years they have been challenged by a plethora of midrange hotels and guesthouses. Online resources for accommodation include the following:

  • www.daft.ie Online classified paper for short- and long-term rentals.
  • www.elegant.ie Specialises in self-catering castles, period houses and unique properties.

www.familyhomes.ie Lists (you guessed it) family-run guesthouses and self- catering properties.

  • www.gulliver.ie Fáilte Ireland and the Northern Ireland Tourist Board's web-based accommodation reservation system.
  • www.irishlandmark.com Not-for-profit conservation group that rents self-catering properties of historical and cultural significance, such as castles, gate lodges and lighthouses.
  • www.stayinireland.com Lists guesthouses and self-catering options.
