We have stopped at the Ashling Hotel in Dublin a few times and if you stay make sure you get breakfast it is lovely. It is near the station and walking distance to Guinness factory, Kilmanhaim Gaol (which you would need to pre book a week before) and the zoo. It is not in the centre but the tram stops right near the hotel. You can buy a tourist travel ticket at the airport and this will cover you for buses and trams including bus from airport to the city centre.
