Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Which area of Kildare is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers visiting Kildare, the towns of Newbridge and Naas offer some of the best options for affordable accommodation. These towns are larger than some of the more rural areas and consequently have a greater selection of guesthouses, B&Bs, and smaller hotels that cater to varying price points.

Newbridge, for instance, is a bustling town with a good range of amenities and is well-connected by public transport, making it easy to explore the wider county without a car. You'll find several guesthouses and family-run hotels here that often provide a comfortable stay at a lower cost than establishments closer to the more tourist-centric attractions. Its central location also means shorter travel times and potentially cheaper fares to other parts of Kildare.

Naas, the county town, also presents good value. It offers a selection of budget-friendly accommodation and a vibrant setting with plenty of pubs and eateries where you can enjoy a meal without breaking the bank.
What are the top-rated cheap hotels for families in Kildare?
For families seeking a top-rated and affordable hotel in Kildare, Silken Thomas is an excellent option.

The 3-star Silken Thomas, with an impressive 9.2 rating from our customers, offers exceptional value. Families will appreciate the convenience of free WiFi and complimentary toiletries. The hotel also provides free self-parking and scheduled airport shuttle services, making arrivals and departures smooth. Reviewers consistently highlight the friendly and helpful staff, the clean and fabulous rooms, and the excellent and delicious food, all contributing to a comfortable stay.
When is the most affordable time to visit Kildare?
The most affordable time to visit Kildare is generally during the off-peak season, particularly from November to February, excluding the Christmas and New Year periods. During these months, you'll find lower prices on accommodation and potentially cheaper flights into Dublin, which is just a short journey to Kildare.

For solo travellers, this quieter period means fewer crowds at popular attractions like The Irish National Stud & Japanese Gardens, allowing for a more relaxed and reflective experience without the peak-season rush. Many local pubs and cafes still offer great value, and you might even find special off-season deals on tours or experiences.

Couples looking for a romantic getaway on a budget will appreciate the lower prices on charming guesthouses and hotels. The cooler weather is great for cosy evenings, and exploring the county's beautiful landscapes, such as the Curragh plains, can be just as enjoyable, and often more serene, without the summer crowds.
Is Kildare a budget-friendly destination?
While Kildare is generally considered more expensive than some other Irish counties, travellers can absolutely experience its charm on a budget with some smart planning.

For accommodation, consider staying in guesthouses or B&Bs in towns like Newbridge or Naas, which often offer better value than hotels and provide a more authentic local experience. Solo travellers might also find good deals on rooms in smaller, family-run establishments.

Couples can save on activities as many of Kildare's attractions are free or very low cost. Exploring the Curragh plains, visiting the Japanese Gardens (though there's a small entrance fee, it's excellent value), or wandering through the historic town of Kildare itself are wonderful ways to experience the area without breaking the bank. Picnics with local produce from a farmers' market are a lovely and inexpensive way to dine amidst the scenic countryside.
Which cheap hotels in Kildare have good reviews for customer service?
For budget-friendly hotels in Kildare with excellent customer service, travellers often recommend Silken Thomas and Kildare House Hotel.

What free activities should we do in Kildare?
Kildare offers a surprising number of wonderful free activities, allowing you to explore its rich history and beautiful landscapes without spending a penny.

For couples and solo travellers, a visit to the Irish National Stud and Japanese Gardens is highly recommended. While there's usually an admission fee for the main attractions, the serene St. Fiachra's Garden, located within the grounds, is often accessible for free. It's a peaceful spot for a leisurely stroll. You can also enjoy the scenic grounds surrounding the stud, which are great for a gentle walk.

The Curragh of Kildare is another fantastic free option. This vast, open expanse of ancient common land, famous for horse racing, is ideal for a long walk, a picnic, or simply soaking in the expansive views. You might even spot some horses training. For history buffs, exploring the ancient monastic site of St. Brigid's Cathedral and Round Tower in Kildare Town offers a fascinating glimpse into Ireland's past, and access to the grounds is free.

Nature lovers can explore the Grand Canal Way, a picturesque walking and cycling route that runs through the county. Sections of the canal are easily accessible from towns like Sallins and Monasterevin, providing a tranquil setting for a walk or to simply observe the canal boats.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Kildare as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Kildare for you.
