The hostel features both shared dorms and private rooms. Some private rooms in the hostel are fitted with a TV and tea/coffee making facilities. Guest rooms feature a locker. Towels can be rented for a small additional fee. Hairdryers are available upon request. Shared dorms features bunk beds and triple bunks. As regular user of their facilities, I would like to highlight the great improvement after the work done in the rooms. Now most of them give a lot of privacy to guests and beds are really comfy. They have board games and a living room with books and Netflix on the TV. I also like the parking space that they have for bikes. You can park a car too but I cycle so I don't have a car. There is a jacuzzi that you can use without any extra charge. Another great point is the free breakfast served daily with orange and apple juices, cereals, strawberry and blueberry jam, white and brown bread, butter, fresh cheese, Nutella, peanut butter and fresh fruit such as bananas, oranges and apples that staff keeps clean and tidy during the whole service. They have an area to provide to guests free milk, cocoa (really GOOD one), coffee and Irish tea. The location is great, just 10 minutes walk from Dublin's main street, O'Connell Street. However, the most important point of Gardiner House Hostel is their staff. They are top-notch, always available to help. A special thank you to Leo the one I know since he was taking care of the breakfast service and now is greeting me at the reception.

Just a 5-minute walk from Dublin’s lively Temple Bar entertainment district, this modern purpose-built hostel offers affordable accommodation within the very heart of the city. It specialises in group hostel accommodation for schools, universities and low-budget tours to Dublin. It became my favorite hostel to stay when I'm in Dublin! Beds are very comfy and they always try to consider my wish to have bottom bed.

Situated in Drogheda and with Monasterboice reachable within 8.5 km, Peggy Moores features a terrace, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar. The property is located 8.5 km from Bru na Boinne Visitor Centre, 9.1 km from Dowth and 9.4 km from Sonairte Ecology Centre. Slane Castle is 15 km away and Hill of Slane is 15 km from the hostel. The staff were immediately helpful, allowing us to check in early as the room was ready, to drop bags while we explored around. They called a taxi for us. Recommended restaurant options. Generally made everything smooth and easy. I wasn't aware that a breakfast was included, so unfortunately we missed that! The beds were very comfortable and the room and attached bathroom were just perfect. It was also surprisingly quiet, being so close to the main shopping streets. Easy walk up the hill from the bus and train station. There's also a great little grocery store just a minute walk from Peggy Moores.
