This place served its purpose. It was a cheap place to stay. Sadly I've become too aware of what I give up to stay in a hostel. I miss being able to read myself to sleep. I miss having a bathroom to my self. Etc. But I would recommend this place to others. It is very clean. Friendly. And cheap.

Kinlay House
by ATXtraveler
During our tour of Ireland, we were lucky enough to stay in a wonderful little hostel in the middle of Dublin called the Kinlay House. It was interesting, because the hostel had our group of 40 rugby players and also a host of 40 some 13 yr old Field Hockey girls at the same time.... an interesting mix.
Overall, we enjoyed the accomodations there, and it really kept alot of money in our pocket for sightseeing!

Clean place and generally safe. Free breakfast (toast, coffee, jam), provided every morning in the general cafeteria. Good to have a room with a bathroom, but then bump up the price, and it's about the same as a night at a nice bed and breakfast outside of Dublin. Although I didn't have anything stolen, the constant reminders not to leave anything of value in your room made me wary.
Special room in the back opened once an hour on the hour where you can store stuff you don't want to drag around during the day. STRICTLY opened ONLY at the top of the hour. Good location too. Near everything. Knowledgable staff.

An old red-bricks building, victorian i think, very clean and bright. Most rooms have en-suite facilities - all (dorms included) have fresh linens, towels, soap, and duvets and pillows. A "luxurious" hostel by all means
A really friendly atmosphere, a great location... and special rates for long-term guests! It's also popular with irish people, long-term stayers, orpeopel in town for the weekend

We stayed at Kinlay House. This is a hostel. We had a twin standard, 29 Euro during the week for each. It is ok in there, the staff is very friendly. Although we slept under a room of an italian rugby team and they seemed to figure out new tactics the whole night!!! If you stay there, try to get a room which is not near the main street, but to the backyard. That is better for your nerves, because our first nights we spent the night in a room near the main street, horrible! When we came back from an overnight-trip to Cork, it was much more enjoyable in a room near the backyard.
5 minutes walk to Temple Bar, College and many other attractions. Cathedral just round the corner.
