to get started.

The location was ideal for travelling to the most essential spots in Dublin. The staff were very helpful.

Cameron, Ireland

Clean, spacious, location perfect, breakfast included. Staff was also very nice

Aurore, France

The location was handy for buses and footing it. The bathroom was handy, though I always hate having the toilet and the shower together. Front desk people were very helpful.

Kaylie, Canada

Excellent central location, solid wi-fi, free breakfast, free luggage storage, light and power outlet station at each bunk, great value

Tyler, United States of America

The location is excellent if you are wanting to explore downtown Dublin, or take tours from the city center. It is close to everything on the south side of the Liffey, but also convenient for exploring north of the river. The hostel was clean and secure; the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was plain and simple, but had something for everyone, and the kitchen area was tidy and clean, as well. Although I am a "seasoned" traveller, I never felt out-of-place at the hostel - there were people there of all ages, and all walks of life.

Laurie, Canada

Location is great - very easy to meet up with people at Temple Bar and you feel safe walking home alone as a female. People are friendly and were keen to get out an do pub crawls etc. I slept in a 12 bed dorm and had no problems. Storage under beds was ideal. Laundry mat is very close and cheap.

Katherine, New Zealand

Excellent Location, had Room at back of Property, so nice and quiet. 3 Bed Room 41, had two bunk beds and a double bed for the lucky person who gets that one. Staff friendly and efficient. All in All a good stay for the price paid

Ben, United Kingdom

Fortunate enough to get a beautiful view of the river. Right next to all the night life. Great bars and resturuants 100m away.

Tristan, Australia

I liked the cost and location. The hostel is about two blocks from O'Connell Street and a brisk 25-35 minute walk from the Dublin Conference Center. Within a 2 minute walk, there is a small grocery, a pub and Pablo Picante where they make fantastic burritos. Most of the staff is very friendly. The breakfast is okay: toast, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, cereal, milk, coffee, and hot cholcolate. However, don't show up after 10am, or most of it will be gone. (served from 7:30-10:30 daily). WiFi worked very well. There are cages in the room for you to secure items with your own lock. There are lockers also available for a fee downstairs. This was my first experience staying in a hostel. I felt very safe here. I really enjoyed meeting people from all over the world. Thankfully, there is an elevator/lift here!

Dawn, United States of America

The comfy beds with a light and sockets at each bed. Nice staff.

“Highly recommend Abigail's Hostel to ALL ages of traveller!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • 1 Bed in 6 Bed Female Room Ensuite
- • Stayed 9 nights
눉Because the room have no fan, it did get a tad stuffy once all the beds were filled, so we slept with the windows open - while this gave a lovely breeze, it also allowed for A LOT of noise at night time: traffic-noise from the street below, and people-noise due to the proximity to the Temple Bar area. However, with a healthy supply of ear plugs, the noise issue was not a huge problem!
눇The location is excellent if you are wanting to explore downtown Dublin, or take tours from the city center. It is close to everything on the south side of the Liffey, but also convenient for exploring north of the river. The hostel was clean and secure; the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was plain and simple, but had something for everyone, and the kitchen area was tidy and clean, as well.

눉The rooms and bathrooms are dated; there could be more space in the rooms. One toilet/shower for six people (in our case) was not enough in the mornings. Shared toilets in each floor would be a great thing. Pricey for what it is.
눇Well located and friendly staff.

눉You can't use the kitchen to prepare for breakfast or lunch in the morning, and the facilities do not allow for many people to cook at one time. I had to leave early each morning for work, and some staff would allow for this and let me make some toast to eat but others were very strict and wouldn't let you eat before 7:30-7:40am, so I couldn't have breakfast. If you are coming to work/study I would avoid this hostel, but would recommend for very short stays.
눇Location is great - very easy to meet up with people at Temple Bar and you feel safe walking home alone as a female. People are friendly and were keen to get out an do pub crawls etc. I slept in a 12 bed dorm and had no problems. Storage under beds was ideal. Laundry mat is very close and cheap.

“Be prepared and you will enjoy”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • 1 Bed in 8-Bed Female Dormitory Room Ensuite
- • Stayed 5 nights
눉I did not like that I requested an early check-in and a bottom bunk, and upon arrival discovered that there is NO early check-in and bunks are first come-first served. The room had an overflowing trash can and there were bottles, and food items left at various (recently vacated) bunks. The bathroom was filthy and missing the over the mirror light. Bring your own towel or pay to rent one. There is a pay per use hair dryer downstairs. Unfortunately, there is not even a chair in the rooms. We had our own bunk or the toilet, or we could sit on the floor. This makes for difficult studying or packing for this 50 year old with a bad back. The biggest concern I had was the cleanliness of dishes and silverware. As a nurse, I know that certain bacteria and viruses can live on the surface of dishes. All dishes are hand washed in luke warm water and towel dried, This doesn't kill germs. I discussed it with the staff and my concern was dismissed. (The staff have a dishwasher and their own - seperate - dishes to use. The guests have to hand wash thiers except during breakfast.) At least they could provide a bleach-based product to spray on the dishes for guest use. As with any hostel, there is a lot of noise and light. Be prepared with ear plugs, and a mask if needed. For those from the US, they use the standard UK - no top sheet - bedding. Also, the pillow leaves a lot to be desired. Using a camping pillow may help. Also, DON'T book your day tours at the hostel desk. I booked the Darby's Cliffs of Moher Tour for $50 Euros. When I went to Darby's website, I could have paid 30 Euros for the same tour. I discussed this with both the hostel and Darby's staff and nothing came of it. I'm sure the hostel makes a profit off each booking. Be smart and frugal and check around for the best price prior to booking! Likewise, don't purchase the Do Dublin package at the airport for 33 euros.
눇I liked the cost and location. The hostel is about two blocks from O'Connell Street and a brisk 25-35 minute walk from the Dublin Conference Center. Within a 2 minute walk, there is a small grocery, a pub and Pablo Picante where they make fantastic burritos. Most of the staff is very friendly. The breakfast is okay: toast, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, cereal, milk, coffee, and hot cholcolate. However, don't show up after 10am, or most of it will be gone. (served from 7:30-10:30 daily). WiFi worked very well. There are cages in the room for you to secure items with your own lock. There are lockers also available for a fee downstairs. This was my first experience staying in a hostel. I felt very safe here. I really enjoyed meeting people from all over the world. Thankfully, there is an elevator/lift here!
