Travelodge has opened "the largest budget hotel in the country" in Dublin city centre.
Located on Townsend Street, the 397-room Travelodge PLUS is the company's 11th property in Ireland. It is the second largest hotel in the city centre, and the first to feature the their “premium economy” SuperRooms concept.
Travelodge paid homage to the hotel’s docklands location by commissioning Award-winning Dublin street artist Shane Sutton to create a nine-metre-high mural of a 19th-century diver overlooking the property’s heated outdoor terrace.
There are a total of 175 SuperRooms in the hotel which offer upgraded amenities such as Lavazza coffee machines, a larger desk and a three-jet shower. One of the highlights of the hotel is that there are double height rooms on the seventh floor with “exceptional views of the city”.

Meanwhile, the ground floor features an open lobby with reception, work and relaxation zones, as well as the all day dining MossCo bar and restaurant with outdoor terrace.
Travelodge spokesman Steve Bennett said the "magnificent hotel" showcases how far the budget hotel sector has grown over the last three decades. He added: “This opening marks a step change for budget hotels in Ireland.
"Britain and Ireland are now a nation of budget travellers, with more of us choosing to stay in budget hotels than any other hotel type. Bringing Travelodge PLUS and SuperRooms to Ireland helps us to offer business and leisure travellers more choice whilst staying true to our mission to be the favourite hotel for value."
