| If you find that the hotel is booked out or just beyond your budget then there are many other hotels and B&B's in the area. Our intrepid committee member Dave McRory has checked these out based on distance from The Royal Marine Hotel, and therefore the con. They are listed in order, from the closest to the furthest. All the prices listed here are as quoted in the current "Dublin Accommodation Guide 2001", but it would be best to check before reserving anything. |
| Kingston Hotel, Adelaide Road, Dun Laoghaire. |
This place couldn't be closer if it tried. It's about 4 minutes walk from the R.M.H., and although it's the most expensive of the ones listed here, it's about half the price of the R.M.H. and with 50 available rooms is ideal for larger groups who wish to stay together.

Next one of our selection, and like most of the rest of our selection, is a small family-run establishment. They have 5 bedrooms (3 en-suite), so space is limited, but this is probably the best value in relation to other places to stay. It's about 7-8 minutes walk from the convention.
Rates - 29 pp double room on swite 25 pp single Full brekfast

| That is it for all the places within 15 minutes "staggering" distance from the con. There are several other establishments within 30 minutes of the con for those with a superior sense of direction while under the "affluence of incahol". One to look into is: |
| Glandore House, Glandore Park, Lower Mounttown Road, Dun Laoghaire. |
