Guesthouses
Our recommendation - guesthouse Abrae Court (+3531) 492 2242. Ask for Community Rate at time of booking for 10 % discount. (€45 euro per night p/p). They serve basic kosher breakfast. About 10 -15 minutes walk from the shul.
A nice local guesthouse is St. Aidens Guesthouse - www.staidens.com (+3531 490 2011) - about 10 minutes walk from the shul. Ask for the community rate (€45 p/p). They are usually able to serve kosher breakfast, or hot “Hermolis” airplane meals. Staff are very helpful.
Another guesthouse is Carrick Hall (+3531 492 2444), www.carrickhall.ie. Also about 15 minutes walk.

Hermolis frozen (airplane style) meals are also available in Super Valu, and they are sometimes stocked by the above guesthouses. These meals are specially sealed and can be heated in a non-kosher oven.

Bed & Breakfast
For a B&B close to the synagogue try Belleville House, 125 Rathfarnham Road on (+3531) 490 0141 (35 euro).

YOUTH HOSTELS

The community has a Jewish house/hostel for students and young professionals (age 20 – 35). This is in a good location in Dublin, but not suitable for couples. Rates are 20 euro per night, 80 euro per week, 200 euro per month. Email ujsi@jewishireland.org for details.

There are no other youth hostels nearby, the nearest are in the City Centre. Most hostels are mixed rooms (men/women), check in advance. The closest hostel is probably Kinlay House. It is also a direct route from there to Terenure. Check www.kinlayhouse.ie for details.

If you stay in the city centre it will take you 45mins - 1 hour to walk to Terenure. Other closer areas are Rathgar, Rathmines, Terenure and Rathfarnham (make sure to ask how far they are from Terenure Cross!)

NOTE: In the summer accommodation in Dublin is always heavily booked. RESERVE IN ADVANCE! before arriving here.

NOTE: Some hotels use electronic door keys. This can be problematic for use on Shabbat.
