Dublin & Northern Ireland Recomemdations Needed
I will be arriving on May 20 - May 31. I will stay in Dublin for the first 5 days and need recommendations on Bed & Breakfast or Hotels in the City Center. My price range is 60 EurosAlso I would like to visit Northern Ireland for 5 days and not sure where to stay, heard great things about Belfast. Any recommendations on areas to visit and where to stay in northern ireland would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your responses.

Not many B&B in the centre of Dublin and for €60 in the city you might want to consider the Travelodge St Stephens Green. http://www.travelodge.ie/hotels/560/Dublin-Stephens-Green-hotel Premier Inn Belfast has been recommended to me for September http://www.premierinn.com/en/hotel/BELBAR/belfast-city-cathedral-quarter?cmp=GLBC personally when staying on the North Antrim Coast we use Avarest in Portrush http://www.avarest.com/4
I decided to stay in Ireland for my entire vacation.Thank you all for your suggestions. Is anyone familiar with the Temple Bar Hotel in Dublin? I am willing to stay at another hotel or B&B but when I google map the address or use trip advisor I have a change of heart. The Temple Bar is a bit higher than my budget of 60 Euros, In fact they are charing 82 Euros per night.
I heard that Fleet Street can become extremely rowdy and noisy at night.
Also I am not quite sure where to visit and where to stay in Northern Ireland, I would like to spend 5 days exploring but need to find a place.
Any thoughts?
Thanks Again.

The Temple Bar would not be the choice of locals, especially at weekend when the area is engulfed with pre wedding shinanikins.6
Forgot to ask, will you have a car for the Northern Ireland leg? if so I would recommend Avarest Guest house in Portrush if not then you might be better with Belfast and the Premier Inn as a base for tours.8
There are regular bus's or trains between Dublin and Belfast so thats not a problem. There are tours of Belfast and the Titanic Exhibition. Also The Giants Causeway/Antrim. But 5 days without a car needs local advice and I recommend you ask on the Trip Advisor UK Northern Ireland Forum. I know "ponaire" posts on here and will give excellent advice.
