Is there any Premier Inns in Dublin?

Dublin has one Premier Inn in the city centre, and it’s the North Docklands hotel. The official name is Premier Inn Dublin City Centre (North Docklands), located at 22 Sheriff Street Upper, Dublin 1 (Travel Weekly hotel listing). This is the only Premier Inn in the Dublin city centre area. There are other Premier Inn properties at Dublin Airport and elsewhere in the county, but for central access to the Docklands, this is it.

Premier Inn Dublin City Centre (North Docklands) location

The hotel sits on Sheriff Street Upper, directly north of the River Liffey, about a five-minute walk from the 3Arena (Skyscanner booking page). It’s also within easy reach of the Luas tram line at the Point stop.

• Address: 22 Sheriff Street Upper, Dublin 1, D01 P374 (hotel.info)
• Phone: 353 1-263-5361 (Travel Weekly hotel listing)

The location is great for 3Arena and the Convention Centre, but Temple Bar is about 1.5 miles away — a pleasant 30-minute walk or quick taxi ride.

Other Premier Inn hotels in Dublin

Besides the city centre property, Premier Inn has a hotel at Dublin Airport and one in Dublin City Centre (Treasury) on Westmoreland Street. Only the North Docklands hotel sits in the Docklands area near the 3Arena. For a full list, check the Premier Inn Dublin hotels page.

What attractions are near Premier Inn Dublin Docklands?

Three major attractions lie within a 15-minute walk, making the hotel a strong choice for tourists and event visitors alike.

3Arena

The 3Arena is a five-minute walk from the hotel (Premier Inn nearby places). You can see the venue from the hotel entrance. After a concert, you’re back in your room before the queue clears the gates.

Dublin Convention Centre

The Convention Centre is 0.6 miles away (Skyscanner distance estimate). It’s a 10-minute walk along the Liffey boardwalk.

Temple Bar district

Temple Bar, Dublin’s cultural quarter, is about 1.5 miles west — a 30-minute walk (hotel.info location description). If you prefer not to walk, a taxi costs roughly €8-10. The trade-off: you’re far enough to avoid late-night noise.

EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum

EPIC is located in the CHQ Building, just 0.7 miles away along the river (Premier Inn nearby places). It’s an interactive experience about the Irish diaspora — well worth a morning visit.

The implication: this is a logistics-first location, not a stroll-to-everything neighbourhood.

What time is check out at the Premier Inn Dublin City North Docklands?

Check-out is at 12:00 PM (noon), confirmed by multiple independent booking platforms and the official Premier Inn page.

Standard check-out time

• Official check-out is 12:00 PM (Skyscanner booking page; hotel.info hotel page)
• Check-in is typically from 14:00 (2:00 PM) (Premier Inn hotel page)

Late check-out options

Premier Inn says late check-out may be available upon request, but it’s not guaranteed and may incur an extra fee (Premier Inn check-in/out FAQ). Call the hotel directly to ask — the front desk can confirm availability.

Why this matters: A noon check-out is generous compared to many Dublin hotels that demand 10 or 11 AM. Concert-goers can sleep in, grab breakfast, and still have time before the afternoon schedule.

Where to eat near Premier Inn Docklands?

You won’t go hungry. Several restaurants and pubs are within a 10-minute walk, plus the hotel has its own bar and meal service.

Restaurants within walking distance

• Wings Bar and Restaurant – 5 mins walk, pub food
• Ely Bar & Grill at the CHQ Building – 10 mins walk
• Spencer Dock area – multiple Asian and Italian restaurants within 5 mins
• Temple Bar restaurants – 25-30 mins walk or short taxi

Check TripAdvisor reviews for guest recommendations — many mention nearby restaurants in the Docklands.

On-site dining options at Premier Inn

The hotel has a bar and restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner (Premier Inn hotel page). The breakfast is a hot buffet with full Irish option. Takeaway food back to your room is allowed — just ask at the bar (Premier Inn bar FAQ).

Catch: The on-site menu is standard Pub Grub – burgers, fish and chips, curry. For something more upscale, you’ll want to walk to the Spencer Dock area.

Do Premier Inn rooms get cheaper on the day?

Premier Inn uses dynamic pricing, meaning room rates change based on demand. Yes, rates can drop on the day if rooms are unsold, but that’s far from guaranteed (Premier Inn rates FAQ).

Premier Inn pricing policy

Premier Inn does not offer fixed advance-purchase discounts. Their “Best Available Rate” is the same whether you book weeks ahead or on the day. However, if a hotel is not fully booked, the price can decrease as the arrival date approaches. The official advice: you can cancel free of charge up to 1pm on arrival day at most hotels, so booking early and rebooking if the price drops is a common tactic (Premier Inn rates FAQ).

Best time to book

For the North Docklands hotel, check prices daily in the week before your stay. If the price drops, cancel and rebook. Use the official Premier Inn website directly — third-party sites may not show the same live rates.

The Premier Inn Dublin Docklands delivers exactly what its name says: a no-fuss base near the city’s biggest entertainment venue. For 3Arena visitors, the five-minute walk and noon check-out eliminate two of the biggest post-concert hassles. For Dublin explorers, the trade-off is clear: you trade a central pub crawl location for better value and a quieter night’s sleep. If your trip revolves around an event at the 3Arena or Convention Centre, the choice is simple – book the Premier Inn and spend your energy on the show, not the commute. For the Temple Bar crowd, look elsewhere.
