I can tell you four VERY good hotels less than 1/2 mile from the Museum. Two I have not stayed at, the Shelbourne Dublin and the Merrion and two I have stayed at The Fitzwilliam and The Dublin Westin. All of these are very nice and will vary in price depending ion where you book them. I would definitely look around to find a good price and deal. Good luck and enjoy the Museum of Ireland.
