    You need more gluten free/vegan options at breakfast. The only gluten-free thing I was offered was rice cakes - it would be advised to have at least one gluten free cereal or gluten free toast available to guests.

    Bed was comfy, room was very clean, location was great, staff were friendly

    We looked for places in Dublin close to our travel time, so we had to use expensive places.

    Some noise while sleeping in our room with its own bathroom- sounded like someone doing laundry below us during the night.

    Breakfast was included but we had to leave earlier to get to the ferry to Wales. Good location- near shops and pubs.

    They just provide essentials. You have to pay some euros for secured storage, and 3 euros for a rental towel.

    The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious. The location was excellent, so close to the bus stop from and to the airport. If you just need to have sleep and spend most of the time for sightseeing, I would strongly recommend it.

    I appreciated the breakfast in price, because it allowed us (travelling on budget) eat much better, than we otherwise would do. Abbey Court hostel is a living place with great atmosphere.

    The curtains around the bed went from ceiling to floor, which was nice, but it was a single curtain for the top & bottom bunk so if the person above or below you wasn't careful they would open your bunk in the middle of the night.

    Very friendly and informative staff. The included breakfast was plentiful, hot, and tasty

    Great location, it was in the heart of the city! Very close to many bus stops. The hostel had a great vibe, staffs were friendly, room was pretty good, and had heaps of toilets which meant you did not have to wait for fellow travellers. Breakfast was included, which was pretty sweet, and they had quite a few selections.

    For the price I was expecting a little more of the rooms. The low point was when I found hair in the shower, from the previous guests. That made me even question the sheets and the towels. The Twin room is really small for two people to stay more than one weekend.

    The location of the Hostel is great, really close to downtown. The Staff members are fantastic and always available. The whole vibe is nice and cozy. If you’re searching for a place just to sleep in, during a quick visit to the City, during the weekend, it will do.

    It has the perfect location. All the tourist sites are close. They also offer different activities, like movie night, ping pong tournament,… It has a kitchen which guests can use, which comes in very handy.

    The 12-bed dorm was smaller than expected from pictures and the curtains for my room worked for both top and bottom beds, which was not ideal. Room was a bit on the warm side with ventilation coming only from a small window opening and a single fan that was turned on 24/7.

    The location is excellent, hard to beat. Staying so close to most attractions was very nice. The hostel is very spacious and there was plenty of people to socialize with around the shared spaces, like the kitchen and the games room. The staff was very helpful at all times.

    Staff at desk were not very helpful/friendly. Maybe because I wasn't a young backpacker (early 50's). Very expensive I felt for a night in a dorm bed with slow wifi.

    Location was great, right in the heart of the city, just over the bridge from the Temple Bar area, everything was within walking distance.

    The Breakfast open time is too late 7:30 , we were many clients woke up about 6 and needed to leave before 7:30 so it s pity that many of us weren't able to enjoy the included breakfast . Each experience will depend also about the respect provided by the others clients with who you share your room , but the light was an issue also Absence of bed light (We had small wall lights but no switch, so they were useless.) so it was a real issue : each time that a new client come inside the room, they turned the ceiling light , what is a terrible issue during the night for the ones who sleept already because probably of early commitments the next day. So it will be nice to have a light with button in each bed , and curtains which will cover all of the bed place , mine wasn't working in the totality of my bed so when the light turn on I was all the time woke up . The new arrivals were speaking as if they were alone in the room in the middle of the night also .... I think it could be important that the staff repeat the good rule in a share room , because these clients were nice but they just didn't realise what was to be in a share room ( in Ireland is common but not in all countries ) Our bedroom was directly on a main road in Dublin, so it was very noisy until 2-3 am ( same with ear protection ) as there was probably no double glazing

    Clean everywhere as possible ( toilet , shower, bedroom, dinning room , and kitchen) Kitchen : spacious, all we need and a free food space Staff , helpfull. Smiling , and taking time with each clients Localisation : in the heart of Dublin Price : accessible for each budget

    Sadly the curtains were for both beds so i would usually wake up the person below me. Breakfast was fine but very dry, only sweet options for vegeterians but Other than that cant complain!

    The staff was extremely nice and helpful! Nice surprise when I saw that the bed had a curtain. Rooms and bathrooms were quite big. Fabulous location
