WINNER: Best Hostel in Ireland 2025

Guests can choose from a range of private rooms and shared dorms, all designed for comfort and convenience. The hostel offers a spacious common area with a pool table and TV, a fully equipped self-catering kitchen, and a bright dining room. The free towel rental and included breakfast were a breath of fresh air!! The staff were lovely, particularly Valeria at the reception desk. The room was quite clean, and the location couldn't have been better! I appreciated that they partially validate parking a the Hynes Yard Q-Park. It brought the cost of overnight parking down significantly.
