Hotel Information

Please note: Pricing taken from the Bord Fáilte Tourism site.

We are hoping to negotiate special weekend rates with some of the hotels. Watch this space for updates.

There is a multitude of places to stay in Dun Laoire. This is partly because the town is a major ferry port town and also because the tourist trade in the area is most favourable.

Royal Marine Hotel (4 Star Hotel)
The most obvious place to stay is at the convention Hotel itself, the Royal Marine Hotel. However, it is a 4 Star Hotel and therefore is the most expensive, but con-goers who have stayed in the Royal Marine before will tell you that it's worth the cost.

Port View Hotel
Across the road (about 2 minutes walk) from the convention Hotel is the Port View Hotel - not as plush, but not as expensive either.
Prices:		Contact:
Twin/Double Room	£40	The Port View Hotel 6-7 Marine Road Dun Laoghaire Co. Dublin Tel: +353 1 2801663 Fax: +353 1 2800447

At the above two hotels please state that you are part of the Octocon Convention.

We are sorry but the Octocon Committee cannot make any bookings on behalf of our attendees or guests.

Just to remind people that demand on the rooms will be high and to reserve their rooms early. The Port View in particular won't have many places.

Bed & Breakfast
Apart from hotels there are many B&Bs in Dun Laoghaire.
