Blue Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Yup, cheap (but neat) hostel this time. Have you booked accommodation yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I'm worrying now. I never book accommodation this early on, and I've never had a problem. But if half the MFC are turning up, it could become an issue :roftl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruth Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Yup, cheap (but neat) hostel this time. Have you booked accommodation yet? No I've not, but my experience in Amsterdam was so great I want a repeat. I shall research later today.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) I'm worrying now. I never book accommodation this early on, and I've never had a problem. But if half the MFC are turning up, it could become an issue :roftl: Same here, that is why I pre-booked. With Hostels.com you only pay 10% of the total fee in advance though, so that is OK. BTW I'm staying here and they do have 3-bed female dorms (which I booked) but with separate bookings there is no guarantee that you're in the same room.

Nollaig Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Yeah I'd rather have my own room, or know who I'm staying with. Never stayed in a hostel,not gonna try it now without anyone I know lol. Plus, I know several people in Dublin whose houses I can just crash at if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I'm an experienced hosteller - but the smaller the rooms the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruth Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) I'm struggling to book. They want to know my nationality (why?) and there is no England, Britain, Great Britain or UK in the list!!!! Am I being discriminated against Nope. I'm a fool. Couldn't see England. But there it was. Edited October 7, 2009 by Ruth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaza! Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 in this case i think apricot jam, that's the standard one. but you get them with all sorts of sweet fillings, different sorts of jam, nutella, vanilla cream,... very delicious! Oh yum We should get some to keep us going on Monday or the closest we can find in doughnut form! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikafish Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Flights booked! Same as Ruth i hope, but it cost me £20 because I have a Visa debit card not an electron... oh well still alot cheaper than I imagined! Don't forget me in the hostel plans guys!

Shaz what kinda place you staying in, or are you staying with someone who lives in Dub? Hostels ARE cheap. I usually stay in hotels. But usually I share with one or two others so it's only about 20 quid each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably be staying with someone in Dublin as I have a few friends up there, and it will save a few yo yos cos I'll have to get a hostel in Belfast!

Yeah I'm thinking about calling into a mate of mine who lives up there, I never see him. Can crash on his couch, he won't mind. I'm still debating Belfast. Should I.... Shouldn't...I....?

A bit over 12 euros a night is good eh? You did well to get flights for 320. Jack (my son) said it had gone up to £38 today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checking! I got Glasgow for £19 for a family room, can't blame me for trying!

MannyCulpena Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 One question: does anyone knows any hotels/hostels near Olympia?

Blue Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Room booked Blue, at your place.... Cool! Maybe we'll end up in the same room again, as we made our booking on the same day. And yes, 12 euros a night is not bad at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
