Dublin help

Hi,
Looking to book a little break for myself and daughter to Dublin. Found some flights, but flying home is 6.30am.
Looking to stay in a premier inn or something similar,but need some advice on how easy it is to get to and from airport, especially at maybe 3.30 am( assuming need to be in airport 2 hours before?)
Any advice would be great. Daughter is 19,so maybe few trips, places to visit,budgets etc.
Thanks

Ashling Hotel, luias ( tram outside ) to town centre, ten minutes, Henry Street and Grafton Street both 10 mins from town tram stop, best shopping you will find anywhere, evening entertainment go to Darkie Kelly's or The Braisen Head, great food and a true Irish pub, taxi from the airport about 35 Euro, hotel will happily book your early reliable taxi, fare from town to hotel 1.7 euro each way on the tram or about 10 euro each way by taxi, we go several times a year and love the place, the irish are a friendly bunch and very helpful. Have a great time.

Assuming your hotel is central then it''s easy, cheap & frequent.

I'll let you put details in: aircoach.ie/

Definitely do aircoach. The first time I went to Dublin (for work) I booked a taxi which took ages to arrive, then cost a fortune to get to my hotel. The people at work put me on to aircoach and I used it every Monday and Friday from then on. Great coaches, (nearly) door to door service, and the fact they run through the night is really useful. Even with a big suitcase the drivers made it really easy.

It's worth checking opening dates if you wish to visit.

Don't listen to the doom and gloom keyboard warriors, the only enjoyment they ever get is trying to ruin someone else's joy, all because the only thing in their poor sad life is their keyboard, we go several times a year, and yes like all places, big and small it has changed a bit, but it is still a great place and the Irish remain as good a people as you will find anywhere.
