There's a couple of hotels at the airport, and a few more a short shuttle ride away. Prices seem to be quite a bit higher than they were a few years back though....
Depending on flight timings, you might be better off hopping on the bus into the city centre and staying there. The Aircoach is €10 return to the centre.

there are only few hours between my flights so it makes no sense spending hundreds €€ for a short sleep.

I suspect that the OP is trying to save money so nice Dublin restaurants, taxis and hotels will not be part of the agenda. But there is a reasonable bus service from airport to centre.

Based on the sleeping in airports details on Dublin, I don't think you'll get much sleep there.
Looking a week out, you can get a room in a hostel dorm for €35. Add on the bus and it's €45, which feels fairly budget to me

You can get a hostel bed for £15 in London and €20 in Paris next week, though you could argue that Dublin is a small city, so I also found one in Copenhagen for DKK 200.

Sorry to jump on this thread.
What's the cheapest way to get to the city and back? Ryanair have a transfer add-on for 9 EUR return, but I think buses 16 and 41 would work out cheaper. Does anyone know how much they would cost for cash payment to driver ticket?
Not really worried about journey duration as flight timing are good both ways.

I think it's €2.60, no change is given and you must pay in coins only, even a €5 note is not allowed. However unless you are not taking any further public transport during your time in Dublin, you should just get a Leap Visitor card at the airport then you can take whatever regular buses, trams and commuter trains you like.
The Leap Visitor used to be valid on the dedicated 747 airport bus but this route was cancelled because of covid.

Yes, 2.60 EUR, and thanks to you message I had the correct coins ready. 🙂
It's only an overnighter, so I didn't bother with the Leap card.
