Dublin B&Bs
B&Bs in Dublin from the city centre to the coast
Dublin B&Bs range from period townhouses a short walk from Trinity College and Temple Bar to quieter guesthouses out along the coast in Howth, Dun Laoghaire and Malahide, all reachable by DART if you'd rather not deal with city centre traffic and parking.
City centre and the southside
A B&B around Rathmines, Ranelagh or the Georgian squares near St Stephen’s Green puts you within easy walking or a short bus ride of Trinity College, Grafton Street and the main museums, without the price and noise of staying directly on the busiest streets.
Howth and Dun Laoghaire
Howth's harbour and cliff walk, and Dun Laoghaire's pier and seafront, both sit on the DART line, roughly 20 to 30 minutes from the city centre. A B&B in either gives you a genuine change of pace at the end of a day sightseeing, with the city still an easy train ride away.
B&Bs in Malahide and north County Dublin
Malahide, with its castle and marina, and the wider north Dublin coastline toward Skerries, suit visitors wanting proximity to Dublin Airport alongside a slower, more residential base than the city centre offers.

Not sure where to base yourself?Dublin B&Bs for the airport, the ferry and the first night
Dublin is where most trips to Ireland begin and end, and picking the right side of the county for your arrival or departure saves real time on the day it matters most.
Lusk, Swords and the airport
Lusk and Swords in north County Dublin sit minutes from Dublin Airport, which makes a guesthouse there the sensible last night before an early long-haul departure, with the city still reachable by bus for a final evening in town.
Arriving by ferry
Ferries from Holyhead dock at Dublin Port, close to the city centre and the northside guesthouse belt around Drumcondra and Clontarf, so foot passengers and drivers alike can be at their B&B within half an hour of the ramp.

Frequently asked
B&Bs in Dublin, common questions
Is it worth staying outside Dublin city centre?
Areas like Howth, Dun Laoghaire and Malahide sit on the DART line and put you 20 to 30 minutes from the centre by train, often at a lower cost and with more parking, so it’s a reasonable trade for many visitors.
How close to Dublin Airport should I stay?
If you have an early flight, a B&B in Malahide, Swords or Lusk cuts the airport transfer significantly compared to staying in the city centre.
Do I need a car for a Dublin stay?
No, and for a city-focused trip a car is more hindrance than help. The DART, Luas and bus network cover the city and coast, and most B&B areas sit on at least one of them.
Which side of Dublin suits a first-ever visit?
The southside between St Stephen’s Green and Rathmines keeps Trinity College, Grafton Street and the museum quarter within walking distance, which is the simplest introduction to the city.
