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.

In the heart of Dublin, Abbey Court is the best located hostel on O’Connell Bridge. Come enjoy a €5.50 pint of Guiness in our bar after a day of taking in the nearby sites of Dublin, you won't find a cheaper pint of Guiness elsewhere! I stayed in a dormitory. It was well cleaned and maintained. Special thanks to my brother Otávio ( hope i spelled right 😂)
