“Extortionate hotel prices cause tourists not willing to be rode”
Well, could the price gouging throughout 2022 have anything to do with it possibly? The prices up until November to stay in the most basic of places was nuts. €80 per night rooms pre pandemic were €180 throughout 2022.
In other countries, when demand is low they reduce their prices. Here, for some reason, the entire hospitality industry jacks UP prices to compensate themselves for their losses.
Rip-off Ireland is back, baby!
“Drop in Dublin hotel bookings causing hospitality industry to check reality”
Fuck ’em
Let them reap was they sowed
The dollar is now stronger aganist the euro which should mean more americans coming.
However these hotel twats spent all this year gouging the fuck outta anyone who came here. Those people went home and told their friends and family.
Poor diddums. They got bailed out by taxpayers then screwed people over when the opportunity presented itself. I have zero sympathy.
We wanted to stay in Dublin for 3 nights last Christmas ( 27-30 dec). We paid 750 quid only for the hotel to cancel our booking 2 weeks before. All sympathy I had went out the window
“Are we charging too much? No, it’s the tourists who are wrong”. – The hotel industry.
No sympathy. They fleeced people and now they’re reaping the rewards of that.
Price gouging + demolishing the parts of dublin that people wanted to hangout in to make room for _more_ hotels might have something to do with it.
Anyway. As someone who staycationed this summer and ended up paying – no bullshit- €200 quid for a shite room in Jury’s cork I say let a few of these hotels feel a bit of pain. They could have tried to recoup their Covid losses at a gradual pace over the next few years but instead thought they could gorge on the tourists tit the year and make it all back in one summer. They made their bed.
300 euros a night to stay in a shithole, a nice hotel costs more than flying to another country and staying in a nicer hotel there.
Trying to Holiday in Ireland is a rip off, airbnb is not much better.
“Book in advance to get the best deals ”
Tried looking at June. Nope.
Tried the weekend after Paddy’s weekend. Nope.
Awful clowns.
Well well well. If it isn’t the consequences…
I literally could not find a hotel room for less than €300 when I had to stay for a night in June. So yeah I’m not surprised.
Good, overpriced in the extreme.
I cancelled a trip home this year because of the prices at the time. I was quoted 35k to rent a car for a few weeks at Shannon airport.
Spent the money on a few weeks in the Caribbean instead.
Maybe next year if things have changed. It is much cheaper to rent a car now but eh, already went away like.
Fuck them
I hope this wakes up the government. My SOs family came for a vacation (south Asian) only to be spat on by the teenagers while trying to capture pictures of the spire. The same night after our dinner we were walking through the leafy and guess what? Some scumbags again started to shadow box right in front of one of the girls while yelling chinks. They haven’t faced such humiliation anywhere else on the planet and promised to never return here again.
I for one am delighted as they have been a huge thorn in the side for the last 2.5 years with their overcharging for rooms.
Good, the prices are currently ridiculous
Does not surprise me fter the rise in prices during the year. Sure we all understood the shut down etc but to put stupid price for accomodations up to claw back. The industry only has itself to blame.
They absolutely shafted everyone on prices after lockdown. That and Dublin just isn’t a particularly nice place to visit for a few days.
Good enough for the thieving bastards, prices are absolutely ridiculous, and it’s not just Dublin, while country is a rip off now
Going to add restaurants to this. They have disappeared up their own arses. It’s like an assault course to get to the food between the hard sell on pre dinner cocktails, more cocktails at the table and then the drinks trolley afterwards.. yeah we get it you make money on the booze.
I would have loved to have gone to Dublin for a couple of things throughout the year but I couldn’t justify the price. I’m sure many are in the same boat.
It’s fucking €90 to stay in a hostel room with 20 others on the weekend so I’m not surprised. Why the fuck would anyone come here?
Prices for a hotel room that you can only use for 20 hours is just ridiculous.
What!! People don’t want to spend 200 euro to sleep in some 2 star kip? How is then industry to figure this out? /s
Often travel up for an overnight and stay in Spencer hotel, price has doubled in the last 6 months for the same standard room. And sorry to say service went down. So I have reduced my times going and found better priced accommodation outside city.
Price gouging and greediness is a thing amongst hotels in Ireland
The amount of indirect subsidy given to vintners, hoteliers, greyhound industry, equine industry etc should really cause gales of laughter the next time you hear people bs in media about running the country like a business.
Honestly, fuck them. I’m disgusted with prices they have been charging recently, even after our tax money kept them going during covid.
They were begging for “staycation” during pandemic and now I can’t even afford to stay anywhere as the Hotel prices are ridiculous and only for wealthy tourists…
are we supposed to be sad?
cause that’s not how this works
Fuck them. They’re making a mint profiteering off the housing crisis/refugee situation.
