cypress avenue is in the centre of town so you'll have no bother there. I wouldn't say isaacs is cheap though. there's a hostel/pub place about 14 seconds to the right of it, also on maccurtain street.. there's a magazine around here somewhere. let me rustle around here for a name....

also, on wellington road (behind maccurtain street) there's hotel action etc.

back in a mo.

mac curtain street:

isaac's: 021 4500011
brú bar & hostel: 021 4559667

wellington road:

sheila's hostel: 021 4508388


both streets just over de nortsoide. very near the train station, bus station and town. which is handy. and they're near my house so OBVIOUSLY it's the cool side of town.

Kinlay house is really good. something like 15 euro/night. definitely recommended.

yip! basically. just across the river and around a corner. more accurately it's on oliver plunkett street, on the corner opposite scotts, which is a great big superpub type of affair. landmarks: if you see the old oak, the gpo, a big roundy vodaphone shop, scotts or pro musica (music instrument shop) you're within 15 seconds of the place. for reference, oliver plunkett street runs parallel with patrick street on the lefy as you look down from the northside (river).

hope that helps.


edit:

and by lefy I mean left of course! I'm suffering from a dose of typing dyslexia today. you'd think it'd make sense to call dyslexia something that was a bit earier to spell innit.

edit:

er, easier. ah fuck..

wouldnt recomend it

two of the people who came down to my elliott smith tribute stayed in the Bru hostel, and they didn't have any complaints! it has a pub there (and lots of pubs on the same street) and a net cafe etc. kinlay house may be nice but it's up by Shandon which is farther away than mccurtain st. mccurtain st is just a bridge away from the centre of town!

Brù's a grand place.. avoid Sheila's it'S a scary place. Or equally you could stay in my gaff and pay me some money for it. I'm in a financial rut at the moment
