We stayed at the hilton:

It's a nice hotel, and cheap for what it is, and good breakfasts. It's on the tourbus route, and there are 2 bus stops nearby, and a shortish walk to the tram. Takes 5-6mins to get to the center.

Hrm, well I live in dublin so you'd think I'd know a decent hotel but I've never had to stay in one

All I can say is steer clear of any hotels around the airport, you'll be the better part of an hour on the bus in every morning despite it only being 7-8 miles out.

We stayed in the Crowne Plaza in Blanchardstown, about 10mins in a Taxi from Dublin, but very nice indeed!
