Hotel near O2 Dublin

[illmonkey]

Got tickets to see Blink 182 in August, going to make a weekend of it, so can anyone recommend a good hotel within walking distance to the O2?

Around £100 a night.

We stayed at the Gresham on O'Connell Street.

Most places in Dublin are within walking distance.

Bumpy. Still not booked. Any other recommendations?

ETA: Doesn't need to be that close to the O2, we're now going for a long weekend, so we can get across to the O2 on the night.

We always use the Maldron Hotel in St John Rogersons Quay, Cardiff lane.

Before being Maldron, it was the Quality Inn / Hotel.

It is close enough to town (about a 10 minute walk down the Liffey) and is opposite the new coke can building. Every time we go, more and more new buildings are being built in the area

The hotel itself is reasonably priced and has a really nice swimming pool / fitness center with jacuzzi / sauna and steam room etc.

It also has a pretty good breakfast and and OK bar area for that last pint of Guinness before bedtime.

I think we have stayed there 3 or 4 times and it has always worked out well for us.
