Solo travelers in Dublin have to be careful. If you're wondering where to stay, I personally think the south side of the city center or the southside suburb, maybe 2 - 3 miles (3.21 - 4.82 kilometres) outside, are a little bit safer.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on May 07, 2026.
