Your Base for Dublin's Biggest Events in 2025: Skip the City Price Hikes

Dublin is set to host an incredible array of events that have music lovers, sports fans, and culture enthusiasts buzzing with excitement. From massive concerts at the Aviva Stadium to electric performances at Croke Park, 2025 is shaping up to be an unforgettable year for live entertainment in the capital.

The city's event calendar is filling up fast, and with it, central Dublin's hotel prices are soaring. But here's a travel tip that could save your wallet: consider staying just outside the city centre, where you can enjoy comfortable accommodation without the premium price tag. Looking to catch the hottest shows in Dublin next year without breaking the bank? Look no further than the Glenroyal Hotel.

Why Stay at the Glenroyal Hotel

Nestled in the charming town of Maynooth, just 25 kilometres from Dublin's heart, the Glenroyal Hotel offers the perfect balance of location and value. Here's why other Dublin event-goers are choosing us as their base:

• Easy City Access: Hop on a direct train from Maynooth Station (just steps from our door) and arrive in Dublin city centre in no time
• Multiple Transport Options: Choose from frequent bus services or trains to suit your schedule
• Peaceful Retreat: After a high-energy event, return to Maynooth, far away from the hustle and bustle of Dublin
• Better Value: Avoid Dublin's event-season price surge while enjoying our consistent, fair rates
• Full-Service Experience: Enjoy our leisure club, swimming pool, and excellent dining options

Why deal with the post-event crush to get back to an overpriced Dublin city hotel? At the Glenroyal Hotel in Maynooth, you can:

• Unwind with dinner at the Enclosure Restaurant or Akle Bar before you take the train into your show
• Take a refreshing dip in our pool the following morning to clear your head
• Enjoy a peaceful night's sleep in our comfortable rooms
• Wake up to a delicious hot Irish breakfast buffet before heading home
