Globetrotters Dublin Hostel

"This rates as one of my favorites. It was really close to the bus station, free breakfast, and very cozy beds with little nightlights." … "One of the best hostels I stayed in. Close to coach, as well as Temple Bar area. Rooms are excellent, and the free breakfast was great." … "This hostel was a breath of fresh air for a six-month solo backpacker. Very centrally located and close to nightlife and bus station. Excellent breakfast, the best yet. Amazing how much is included, eggs, bacon, sausage, juice, fruit, coffee. Yum. Great...

Abigails Hostel
85%
(Dublin 2)
"Formerly a hotel, Abigails Hostel still feels more like a comfortable budget hotel than a hostel. It is not oozing with character, but it has all the essentials (and then some), and that slightly institutional, chain-hotel feel can actually make a nice change for those who have temporarily had their fill of the more "authentic" backpacker hostels. The prices are some of the best in Ireland, and there are a lot of little comforts that help make your stay extra comfortable.
Located on Aston Quay right along the River Liffey, just across the...

Barnacles Temple Bar House Hostel
85%
(Temple Bar)
"I had a great time, even if there was a Leprechaun named Joan McCabe living in the hostel, who the management called "harmless." By the way, she woke me up two days in a row to ask what time it was (5 a.m.) after I'd had long hard nights of mass Guinness consumption. Stay here because the staff are generally friendly and the other travelers are as well, plus the Irish are some of the most welcoming people on the planet. You will have the time of your life." … "I stayed here the first week in March. I had an absolutely wonderful time....

Avalon House

"I stayed in this hostel for about eight days. It is the best hostel I have ever stayed in. The people are friendly and the place has a great atmosphere. The fact that the hostel is located a stone's throw away from the Temple Bar District is superb. I would definitely stay here again. It's tops." … "I loved it here! Everyone is really friendly and always ready to help you. The hostel is in a perfect location, too: close to everything...but not too close." … "Best hostel in Ireland, by far." … "Me and my buddies stayed here...

Kinlay House Dublin
84%
"I found this hostel clean, the staff were friendly and the location is great. Good value for money in an expensive city like Dublin. The best thing about this hostel is that Haggis bus tours start from here, and you get a discount on accommodation if you're going on one of the tours." … "good location downtown -- close to temple bar and trinity college. You can walk anywhere from here. Parking is real tough and expensive!" … "Great - Friendly staff, clean, spacious, and cheerfully decorated inside. This hostel is excellent and I...

Four Courts Hostel

"Friendly staff, central location, and a really cool and comfortable environment make this a safe bet when choosing where to stay in Dublin. Mixed dorms are an added bonus, all manner of shenanigans can happen. :)" … "Really friendly staff - much like the locals! This hostel was nicely decorated, had a good breakfast and very comfy beds. It's a bit of a walk into the centre of Dublin, but if you're laden with shopping bags, a taxi back is really cheap!" … "i stayed here twice, once for a month and the other for three weeks. love...

HI - Dublin International Hostel (An Oige)
81%
"I stayed Sunday, May 29, to Tuesday, May 31, 2005.
Just wanted to express my opinion on how much of a great experience we had at the Dublin International hostel. The location was superb, the staff friendly and knowledgeable, the free breakfast a bonus and the security was peace-of-mind safe.
I would highly recommend a stay in this hostel. The only thing missing is the lack of electrical plugs in each room or in the bathrooms, so you have to blow dry/straighten your hair in the corridor, but apart from that an excellent stay and thanks to...

Litton Lane Hostel

"We stayed two nights in this hostel, and it was fabulous!! I only wish we'd had time to stay longer. It was the best hostel breakfast we had the entire trip, the staff was super-friendly and helpful, the place was clean and the guests were nice, and I cannot speak well enough of the bathrooms. EXCELLENT hostel!" … "After travelling around Europe my last stop was Dublin and Litton Lane Hostel. I have to say that the staff were excellent, really friendly and helpful; nothing was too much trouble for them. The hostel itself was clean,...

Jacob's Inn Dublin
79%
(Dublin 1)
"Best hostel I have ever stayed in." … "Great location, good accommodations, friendly staff - Spent two nights in August, 2008. It's a busy place with lots of younger people there to enjoy the attractions of the city, yet it was very quiet. The building was clean and well maintained. The included mini-breakfast was adequate, but more toasters and a rearrangement of the serving table would make things move quicker. The desk staff were friendly and helpful." … "I stayed here in 1999. It was fantastic and I would highly recommend it...

Abbey Court

(O'Connell Bridge)
"I had a lovely stay here altogether. The place was clean and rather quiet. The staff were quite great about directing a traveler where to go about in Dublin. It's in a perfect location. It's about a three-minute walk across the river to the Temple Bar area, but you don't have to sleep surrounded by the noise. I would definitely stay here again." … "This place was phenomenal! Truly one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. Perfect location -- in the center of city and on the river. Staff friendly and helpful, fantastic free...

Paddy's Palace Dublin

"It's just been painted and very very clean. Small enough to get to know people and the staff are great. One of the best hostels we've stayed in on a year long trip. Great location and secure too!" … "Stayed at Paddy's over the New Year of 2001/2002 and had an absolute blast. Friendly staff, nice clean rooms and bathrooms and a very friendly atmosphere between all staff and guests." … "Best hostel and welcome we have had in all our travels. Small enough to make you feel like a friend not just a guest and really really clean....

"Fantastic location — minutes from Temple Bar and Trinity College. Getting to the Guinness tour is a nice walk along the Liffey. I met some great people while staying here last year, including some of the staff! I had hoped to get back here, but didn't quite make it. I would recommend this hostel to anyone!" … "Very central location! I arrived late and checked out early, so I didn't get to experience much of this hostel. The staff were friendly, though. We were 6 people in a room with a shared toilet/shower." … "Quite a good...

I wanted to stay longer, but I had to leave because it was full." … "Nice staff, clean, spacious rooms, good location." … "It's really ok. Nothing special. But the staff is nice, the rooms are clean, the showers too. But the breakfast is small, and it's annoying that you have to change the keycard every morning!" … "The beds. They squeeked when you...

The breakfast is quite good." … "Dublin City Bunkhouse is brand new -- it opened in December 2007 and all the facilities are in new condition. The location is excellent and it is a very good value for the money. The first day we were there, we met people from thirteen different countries.

Isaac's Hostel Dublin

"I really enjoyed my stay at Isaac's hostel. It was the cheapest hostel in Dublin, and great for meeting other people. The bathrooms were not that bad, and I thought the security was pretty good. For ten euros a night it's a bargain." … "You really do have to be on your guard with your personal possesions-even some of our food got knicked. But overall this hostel really is excellent. We met people from all nationalities and had an amazing time in Dublin, both during the day and night. It is expensive though-take plenty of cash!!!"...

The Brewery Hostel

"Great place to stay. The guys in charge have made sure the rooms and dorms are very comfortably decorated and, a rarety on the backpacker scene, the mattresses are real and not just a piece of foam!" … "I had a very good time in this hostel. I was positively surprised of the cleanliness (rooms, bathroom, kitchen), which was definitely over average! In the night it was quiet, so we could sleep very good! Although everybody could come and go the whole night long. The free internet access is great! The included breakfast was more than...

Brown's Hostel

"Affordable. Sterile. Large secured bathroom with many stalls. There was one girl at reception who was a little catty though. A large breakfast was included. Oh yeah! I had to wait 2 hours after storing my pack in the luggage room, because an employee took the key home with him." … "Great receptionists — especially the guy from Romania! Beware of his jokes, though. We had the whole room all to ourselves, although it was absolutely freezing! The walls are very thin — take note if engaged in certain activities. There are lots of...

Shining Hostel
56%
"My friend, Anna, and I came to Ireland for the first time last fall, and we were really quite timid about being in a completely foreign place, with no idea what to do. Luckily, someone referred us to the Rainbow Hostel, and we at least had a place to stay. But it was a lot more than just a place to stay. We couldn't have possibly asked for a better experience. The intimate size of this hostel made it so much easier to get acquainted with people who knew their way around, and they had some really good tips for us (not to mention, we made new...

Backpackers D1 Hostel Dublin
43%
"The Good with the Bad - It's filthy, poorly maintained, shady, disorganized, and shockingly unorthodox. Look under that thin layer of grime, and you will meet the most interesting and odd assortment of people ever in your life. Things happen in City Manor that you just don't see anywhere else. Each day provides an unforgettable memory, as all the rules and boundaries you know are destroyed when you walk through the door. You must be open-minded and willing to tolerate poor living conditions, but you will never forget the experience!" …...

The Celtic Inn

"In my opinion this hostel gives you excellent value for money. It was one of the cheapest hostels in the centre of Dublin and I stayed there for a couple of nights having good fun with the other guests. Also, we found a way to override their internet connection meter, so we were able to check our e-mail for free whenever we needed to. When we got there, they gave us cleen sheets and the room was generally ok." … "I would not recommend this to anyone. Even there is one good thing which is that all the rooms are en-suites and most of...

"Absolutely unbeatable! - The breakfast was awesome. I really enjoyed my stay. And definitely the friendliest staff I ever had (and I have been to a lot of places). Thank you so much." … "This hostel is not very good - First of all, my friends and I stayed in room 7. Room 7 faces out to the smoke room of the Gogorty bar. Needless to say that the room was very noisy! Also all the smoke comes up into your room. I can't say how the other rooms are like but if you stay in room 7 and you do not care about sleep and smoke. This is the room...

Goin' My Way
71%
"Terrible name, hard to find (a tiny stairway ending up in a busy street) but well worth the search! Prices beat that of most of Dublin (hostels advertising a 10 euro price and asking 25 euros minimum seems standard in Dublin. Goin' My Way seems to do a 15 euro fixed fare all season). Rooms are clean and spacious. Not many showers but they're good and clean. Really friendly management. Promises a clean bed, clean showers and nothing else, delivers exactly that. Located in the middle of Dublin (north bank), on a really short walk from just...
