Abigail's Hostel Reviews

Calm, easy access, cleaned and close to everything. I loved it there.

Ahhhh, you must make arrangements in advance. It’s really expensive at the last minute. The environment is pretty good. The first floor is a public area with a kitchen for use. You can make your own coffee. There is a storage for large items on the first floor. room (free but not responsible for loss) and a paid storage locker similar to a courier locker. The room has an independent bathroom, which is okay. Bath towels can be rented one by one. I didn't see any slippers. The location is relatively convenient, and you can go to surrounding attractions and supermarkets. The front desk is very friendly, hahaha

I went there during the Spring Festival. The room had no heating and I woke up in the middle of the night. Everything else was fine except for the cold.

Next to the window, with the River Liffey outside, the location is great.

The a**osphere is nice. You can cook downstairs. You can choose your own bed in the room.

The location is particularly good and the service is first-rate. For old people who don't understand English, enthusiastic young people will help you.

good really

Have just received this unironic email. "Thank you very much for your understanding and politeness over the phone Maira, but we decide to not have you here and ware going to cancel all your reservations for free."

stayed two times in dorm that first the room super noise as facing main street that people none stop talking and screaming at mid night. the 2nd time that facing inside the alley that more quiet. Regarding the rest of this hostel was very good no matter of price and location that also very good fit for backpacker.

I love this place for localisation, good common area, good kitchen,free tea or coffe. There are close to the market. You can choose only female room. There are some light near the bed, also charger. In the bathroom you have no place where to leave your stuff:(

I decided to book direct through the website as this is usually a better deal for both me and the hostel, rather than using a third party. Only AFTER my payment was processed and I got a confirmation email, was I informed I had been charged a previously hidden £25.33 service charge which is frankly insane when the room is £16 a night. On disputing this with the company the hostel uses, they couldn't seem to confirm what I had actually paid or was meant to pay, but arent willing to refund any of it anyway, leading me to raise a dispute with my bank as its clearly not legal or honest to slap an extra £25 on for absolutely no reason or prior warning. I will learn my lesson and go back to the third party websites, and stay away from this scam of a hostel. I booked it because it was cheap, like I imagine most other people do!!!

GROUPS BEWARE of strick/completely unfair cancelation policies. If your flight gets canceled or you are unable to travel, you'll loose ALL the amount paid!!! No credit for next stay, discount, or whatever. You snooze, you loose. As a school, we had booked rooms to accomodate a total of 40 students and teachers, for a whole week. Unfortunatelly we were unable to board our flight and had to pospone the trip to some weeks later from the original date. There simply were no available flights sooner for such a large group in the same airline company. We explained the situation to the hostel but they were simply uncompromising. We did not ask for a refund and were willing to loose some of the money paid for the first nights. All we wanted was that some credit could be directed to the new dates, in order to reduce our losses a bit. We did not expect that the management would be completely unwilling to help, charging us for the whole stay, INCLUDING the meals we did not have. We travel around the world with our students and we look for partners we can rely on, and that are willing to help us, when we are abroad. This was simply not the case, quite the opposite. If you are traveling with a large group, for a long stay, with a quite an expensive bill, check your booking conditions twice, make sure your flight does not get canceled or you'll loose it all.

This hotel and their breakfast was fabulous and convenient to the airport location. Would definitely stay again.

I enjoyed every bit about the hostel, they had great security and being on my own very helpful staff for my needs and requests with information, and friendly staff, I would have recommended to people to stay there when in Dublin, Thanks to all Staff including the cleaners as well. Great place.
