Ashfield House is located in the heart of Dublin, just minutes walk from O'Connor Street, Trinity College, and Temple Bar. Additionally, it is on or nearby several bus routes making train station, bus station, and airport access quite simple. The friendly staff are happy to help plan your stay and the reception area offers a wide range of information pamphlets on both Dublin and Ireland.
Rooms are available in anything from two-person up to eight- to ten-person dorms. The rooms, while small and crowded, have an en-suite toilet/sink/shower. Hot water is sometimes hard to come by, however shower pressure is great. There is not much space for luggage, let alone lockers in the rooms. Some coin-operated lockers are available for hire on the main floor. There is also a luggage storage room provided for use.
The large sitting area on the main floor has a television and several comfy couches for relaxing. There are a couple of computers for internet use as well as space to use your own with wireless internet. The large kitchen offers lots of space for multiple people to cook simultaneously and is quite well equipped. It is cleaned daily after the free breakfast provided each morning. You can also have your laundry washed and dried by the staff for a small price.
While friendly staff and a central location certainly make this an enjoyable hostel to stay at, prices per room can jump depending on whether it is a weeknight or weekend, if it is a bank holiday, or if there is a rugby match in town.
