Featured Accommodations (See All)
We were voted the #1 hostel in Ireland for January 2012 here on Hostelworld! We also won 4th best in Ireland at the 2010 Hoscars and were ranked 7th best in the world for September 2010. We're delighted, so come celebrate with us.
To quote the 2012 Lonely Planet: 'Bright and spacious, in the heart of Temple Bar, this hostel is immaculately clean, has nice laid-out ensuite dorms and doubles with in-room storage. Because of its location, rooms are quieter to the back. Top facilities, comfy lounge and linen and towels provided'.
Every room comes with an ensuite bathroom and is centrally heated. Our cosy rooms have hot showers, comfy mattresses and individual reading lights to ensure you have a good rest. Each bed has a built-in under-bed locker to secure your luggage, and all rooms have electronic security card access keys.
All the dorms are cleaned daily and the beds made with fresh linen. Our housekeeping team are permanent and professional staff who care about what they do � we�re committed to being the cleanest hostel in Dublin.
We can make your stay easier, from having the basic for hire � like hair dryers, adaptors and alarm clocks � to doing your laundry and cooking you dinner.
Here you�ll find all the facilities you need, like our free light breakfast, free Internet access and Wi-Fi, the fully-equipped kitchen, laundry service, bureau de change, recycling, tour ticket desk (open 8-10) and more. You can even upgrade your breakfast to a full Irish!
We also make it easy for you to meet other travellers, with a selection of chill-out areas and a variety of group activities on offer. You can get the beers in every night at 21.00 with our Barnacles Pub Crawl. There�s no curfew, so you�ll have lots of time to explore the pubs and bars of Temple Bar.
And if you want to stay in, you can hang out in our newly refurbished lounge, where we have a huge DVD collection, a foosball table and lots of good cheer. There�s also a book swap, darts and featured movie nights and popcorn.
We�re in the perfect location, in the heart of Dublin�s cultural quarter - Temple Bar. You can enjoy a pint of Guinness in the famous Temple Bar pub, only two doors away. When you stay here you�ll only be a minute�s walk from everywhere else � cafes, pubs, transport, internet cafes, supermarkets, convenience stores, banks, the post office and so much more. Not to mention tourist sites like Trinity College, Dublin Castle, the Old Jameson Distillery, Christchurch Cathedral and more!
Conveniently, there�s bicycle storage on the premises and parking (with a discounted rate) only two minutes� walk away.
Our staff are young, helpful and friendly, as well as knowledgeable on what�s on and what to do in and around Dublin � just ask! We can help you reserve car hire and we offer discounts on hop-on/hop-off city tour tickets and the airport shuttle, leaving direct from our door.
Reception is open 24hrs a day so there�s always someone on hand to help. If you need access to our secure room, it�s accessible 24hrs a day and is available for luggage and valuables. Safety deposit boxes are also available.
We have special weekly rates available including laundry, breakfast, Wi-Fi and internet. For more information ask at reception.
