Accommodation in Dublin?

Question

What are cheaper room renting prices ( monthly etc ) in Dublin ( not city center area ) ? Even Squat is also considered but where to find it ? Plus food prices and Internet Cafe prices info are helpful.

Answer 1

Look for "rooming houses."  You'll get a room, but certainly not En Suite (meaning you won't have your own private toilet and bathroom.)  We paid 15 pounds per night with Mrs. O'Leary (yes, really, that was her name) and I had to give her another 5 pounds to replace her key after a night filled with Guinness in which I lost her key. She made some money off of me that night, I wager.

Anyway, I'd be willing to bet that places of that type will run you 25-30 pounds per night these days, but it's still going to be a lot cheaper than a hotel.  As to how to find them, look on the, I don't know, Internet.

per month, rent is min €350.

Answer 3

Internet Cafes in Dublin are plentiful -- telephone calls to the US were only 10 cents euro per minute and it was 1 euro for 20 minutes on the internet (that's standard -- if they want to charge more, walk out).  I found food prices generally fair, not too much more than what they are here in the States (I was there the first two weeks of september this year).  Accommodations are another area all together -- only stayed in Dublin three days and had an apartment - might be a bit pricy for what your looking for.  However, hostels are plentiful and at a very good rate (18 euro a night) -- check out the Oliver St. John Gogarty (I stayed in the apartments here) they have hosel accommodations as well - and it's right in city centre (Temple Bar area)

Answer 4

It all depends on your personal preference.
