 | |  |  | Abbey Hostel: Incredible good location | Tip Rating:    Satisfaction:   |  |  | |  |
We went to Dublin in July, meaning that most hostels and hotels were quite full. Luckily also Abbey Court Hostel, who instead gave us the offer to take one of their appartments who were not "even around the corner"-way from the hostel. Just 20 meters away. Me and my friend of course took the offer, and got a nice appartment for ourselves. Four beds, with one of them being a double, kitchen, balcony and your own bathroom. And all this for 88 euro/night. No matter if you're one or five person in the appartment. So to say the least we were very pleased. The appartment isn't very luxury though, and the bathroom wouldn't feel bad about some restauration. But with the location of this appartment there can't be much better places. Both the appartment and the hostel is situated on the Bachelors Walk, next to the big O'Connel Street. 200 meters away, max, is the Temple Bar-area, with all the party going on. If you need party even quicker there are two crazy pubs just to your right when you step out of the appartment-building. You're close to bus stops, that takes you to both the big bus/train station and the airport. For a gang going to Dublin to have some fun and party for a while this place is splendid. Just can't be any better. If you want a 5* hotel, or even just a 3*, you should probably look somewhere else. For those of you who doesn't want your own appartment, the hostel also have rooms for 2, 4, 6 or up to ten persons. We stayed in an appartment in the third/fourth floor, with no elevator. Took my breath away just going up for the stairs, but it was worth it... :) UPDATE MARCH 2007: Returned to Abbey Hostel again. Turned down the offer to get an appartment for 100 euro/night, and instead chose to take a double room for 88 euro. That was a mistake... I have never seen a more crappy or smaller room, even my bathroom back home is bigger... DEFINITELY not worth 88 euro/night... The location is still fantastic, but it would be more convienent to sleep on the O'Connel bridge then...
The location. Say it again - the location is fantastic. Silent, never heard a sound from any of the neighbours. Might be worse during the rest of the year though, since I guess this is a student house, where the hostel just have 2-3 appartments. The other appartments are for students, on holiday while we were there.

Just before you pass the bridge, turn right and you're Bachelors Walk, where you'll find the hostel. Ask for an appartment, think we had number 20.Website: www.abbey-court.com Other Contact: e-mail: info@abbey-court.com

| | | | Abbey Hostel: A great experience! | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
This hostel was a really nice place to stay. The location is excellent with the River Liffey right in front of you, O'Connell street (literally) just around the corner and the main bus stations (local, to the airport or to other destinations around Ireland) all within a ten minute walk. I had an 8 bed dorm with ensuite. Although I was there just after the height of tourist season, and for one reason or another ended up getting the dorm all to myself! The beds were very nice and comfortable. Other facilities/amenities in the hostel: - Each bed has its own 'locker' beneath the bunk (which rolls out from the bottom bunk and you can padlock it shut), - There is also a luggage room, - No laundry (but an iron is available for use), - Kitchen (cleaned daily so any food you want to keep there must be labelled), - Breakfast is served daily - and included in price of your room: Mon-Sat: 7:30am-9:30am, Sun: 8:30am-10am, - Dining Hall and T.V Room Also, rooms are supposed to be vacated for cleaning between 10:30am and 2:30pm, but (after asking) I had no problem going back up to my room during this time. Access to your room and the hostel is with a key card. The front door is shut at night, but there is always someone in reception to let you in. When you check in you are given a card with a list of 'rules' or general information about the hostel.
I think the location is really the best quality. The beds were really nice, especially for a hostel and the staff were very friendly and helpful (if you are in need of maps of Dublin, or planning advice for your stay, they will help you out). On the website below you can book rooms, view them and check out costs for your accommodation.
