Located in an area close to the main bus stop and full of cheap accommodation options, Abraham House doesn't stand out until you check in. The hostel is very easy to find and only a ten-minute, leisurely walk to O'Connell Street.
With rooms ranging from a private double room to sixteen-bed dormitories, you have a lot to choose from. All rooms have an en-suite bathroom, which is very clean despite the sometimes-funky smell -- the lack of any real ventilation causes the mustiness. Our eight-bed dorm had plenty of natural light and ventilation (except in the bathroom), comfortable bunk beds, and enough space for everyone's backpacks.
Located in an typical old house, Abraham House is actually two connected houses, four-stories high including the basement. There is no lift. In the basement you will find a completely equipped (and clean) kitchen and plenty of seating space for you to enjoy your meal or to watch TV. On the ground floor is the reception, packed with pamphlets about the local area, phones for calling internationally, computers with internet access (for which they charge), and some rooms.
As you head up the stairs you will find rooms at every landing. Halfway up the first flight of steps you can connect to the next building, which houses several private rooms. Continue up to the first floor for the dormitories. This repeats for the next floor. At each landing you will find great little mini-lounge areas, perfect for chilling and chatting in a small group.
