Lock in a great price for Abigail's Hostel – rated 8.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

Everything! It is in the heart of City Center and close to everything. Although there were many people staying there it was quiet enough that you wouldn't know the place was right around the corner from Temple Bar. The room I stayed in the folks were so quiet I didn't hear anyone come in or out...At the front desk were the most friendliest young people in Dublin. Niamh, Fergal a real gentleman and so pleasant and of course Emma Banks who is the sweetest young lady I think that lives in Dublin. I was traveling with out wife and kids and she made my stay feel "right at home" and she was so helpful with where and what to do around Dublin...simply put... a real joy to have met. Would highly recommend this place to one and all. this way I was able to save the money and travel around Erin.

The location was more central that I had imagined. It was perfect, quiet, yet central to getting into town. We loved the size of the room and the tea/coffee services. The house was very clean and had great suggestions for tours and restaurants.

“Clean, great social atmosphere, excellent location”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 2 nights
Our flights were delayed and caused us to miss our first night. Unfortunately, the hostel wasn't even able to give us even a portion of the night back. I understand that these policies are normal in most places, but I didn't appreciate being laughed at and mocked when I spoke to a staff member about this on the phone.
I was very impressed with everything that was offered, from breakfast to charging stations on every bed and to the knowledge of the city from the staff. Whether you're a party animal or someone looking for a more laidback vibe, the social atmosphere is perfect for any type of young traveller and you're bound to find something for yourself. This is been one of the cleanest hostels I have ever stayed in and the location is within perfect walking distance of so much!

Breakfast was really poor, no fruits. They charge you to use the hairdryer. The bathroom in the room had no ventilation so it was humid all the time, the same for the room’s floor. At least 4/8 beds’ usb ports did not work. They said also they have earplugs but they don’t
The location and that you can stay late after your check out

People were right. The staff isn't that communicative and supportive. The bathroom is quite old and it needs to be redone. The heating wasn't working in my room. Breakfast was okay, toasts, cereal, milk, boiled eggs.
The location is unbeatable. I walked everywhere and the bus stop to/from the airport is two minutes, very convenient.

“Unbelievable and one of the best things when I think of my trip to Dublin”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
Not applicable, everything was fantastic!
What a place! I checked in after spending a few nights at their other location, Abraham's. I originally only booked a few days in the other hostel not sure if I'd like it or wanted to spend the rest of my trip in a hostel. "Thinking" they would be full of college kids yelling and partying all night. Which wasn't the case at all. Emma Banks who works in both of them recommend that I try this one out as well. Emma has to be the sweetest, kindness, nicest, most friendly and interesting young person in Dublin! She helped me with the booking and helped me with other things I needed to do on line. I was a little nervous how to go about all this since I was traveling on my own without my wife and kids and I'm older then the average person who stay in hostels. I was amazed for the price that this hostel is right on the Liffey! The place was clean, breakfast just right, great security, the beds comfortable but most of all the staff were so polite felt right at home, literally. All of them were so friendly...Niamh, then met Fergal, who was a real gentleman and so helpful as well as was Kieran. Then a night or two later Emma Banks was also working here as well! Such a joy to see her behind the counter. She helped with letting me know where I could eat and catch the bus that went back to the airport which is right down the block. She is a true credit to the hostel. Thought it should cost a lot more. Shared a room with 5 others and all of them were so quiet and polite I didn't even hear any of them come or go. Overall would highly recommend this place and I have a real respect for hostels now although I never stayed in them before but wanted to spend my money on traveling around Ireland and not on accommodations.
