O'Shea's Merchant Hotel

A Dublin guesthouse above a musical pub by the river near Christ Church

This pub-with-rooms overlooks the River Liffey, and while the 25 guest rooms are nothing particlarly special (smallish, with modular furnishings, but clean enough), they are definitely cheap (from €65 online), in a great location (just a five-minute walk from Christ Church Cathedral), and they happen to be located above a rigorously traditional Irish pub serving Irish food and traditional Irish music (and dancing lessons) nightly.

(If you tire of that pub scene, you can cross the street to the Brazen Head, Dublin's oldest pub.)

No, it isn't the quietest hotel in town (you are above a musical pub, after all), and the amenities are as basic as the rooms (though there is free WiFi).

However, all the major sights of Dublin are within about a 15-minute walk. Not bad.
