Accommodation Vocabulary In Irish – Basic Vocabulary For Places To Stay

I spent a fair share of my early twenties working in hotels, and it’s a tough gig! Sometimes it’s difficult to decide who can be more demanding, the guests or the managers. Not many people know this, but when you get to a hotel, it’s possible for the person at the front desk to upgrade you. If I worked in a hotel in Ireland and spoke Gaelic, I’d definitely give the upgrade to someone who spoke a little bit of the Irish language.

What Are The Best Places To Stay In Dublin City Centre?

O’Connell Street

O’Connell Street is slap bang in the center of Dublin, and its central location means you’re never too far away from the action. 

Temple Bar

Yes, this is an area and not a pub. That being said, it is, in fact, renowned for its nightlife. There is a lot to see and do here, including visiting the Irish Photography Centre and the Arthouse Multimedia Centre. It is also home to the Irish Stock Exchange as well as Speaker’s Square, where you’ll hear many a person give rise to whatever they want to shout about that day.

As mentioned, Temple Bar’s nightlife is famously good. Some favorites include the Porterhouse and Temple Bar pub.

Trinity

Trinity is just down from O’Connell street and borders Temple Bar. The area takes its name from the college, one of the world’s best. We could write an entire article about Trinity itself (and maybe we will in the future), but for now, we’ll just limit ourselves to 3 amazing facts.

  • It started as a friary under the direction of Queen Elizabeth 1 in 1592
  • Students don’t pass under its bell tower when they’re undergraduates because an old superstition dictates that anyone that does will fail their exams. The only time they do pass through is on graduation day
  • The library has 5 million books- a copy of every book printed in Ireland and Britain since 1801

As you’d expect, being a student area, Trinity also has excellent nightlife.

Grafton Street

Grafton street is for those of you not traveling on a budget (the area is famous for being home to many high-end brands). Some popular hotels include the Shelbourne, where you’ll pay about $300 per night. The reason it’s so expensive is that it’s the 5th most expensive shopping street in the world as of 2016.

Grafton Street is also famous for its buskers and street performers. See some very talented musicians strut their stuff as you do a bit of retail therapy.
