Avalon House Hostel: Friendly hostel   Compare Rates NEW!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Having stayed in quite a few hostels, i would say this isn't much different from the norm... but it is clean and friendly, and you do get free internet and a free breakfast - which i slept through today, so can't tell you how good it is! There's a decent tv room with good sofas, and another video room downstairs, and a huge kitchen... We're in a twin room, and it is petite, but cozy enough... only thing i think it misses is somewhere to put your stuff... there are a few hooks, but there's not really a real place to put your bags. But i guess that's not a huge deal for the rest of the stuff you get... like your own sink... We're not right in Temple Bar, which is what i would call central to a visit to Dublin, but it is well located, and only a short walk to practically anything. The other bonus is there's a bus direct from the airport that drops you off just over the street, for only 1.80 Euros each way... not bad at all!!! (That's 16A for ref and goes right down O'Connel St too!)

    Avalon House Hostel: Avalon house - AVOID this place!!   Compare Rates NEW!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Avalon house on augier Street was a very bad experience. They lost our original reservations and put us in a room with shared bath - one bathroom for the whole second floor! If someone was showering you had to go up to another floor to use the facilities. Our room had no heat and a broken window - I got sick from the air blowing on me all night. It gets COLD at night in March! Staff were remarkably unhelpful. The desk attendant told my roomate to go find toilet tissue in another bathroom herself - she didn't have any at the desk and it wasn't her problem! It may be highly recommended by guide books, but our experience was terrible!

    lousy breakfast - stale muffin, sour yogurt, tea or coffee

  • This hostel is very international, but the rooms are small. No space for luggage. There are lockers downstairs...The showers/toilets are also on 1st floor.....well there is one toilet/shower on each floor:-( There has been no working heater in our room....and you couldn´t open the window..... Breakfast is packed for each guest. It´s the same every day (Muffin/Orange Juice/Joghurt/Tea/Coffee). Kitchen. Internet Access.

    Avalon House Hostel: A Comfy Hostel   Compare Rates NEW!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Average priced and includes continental breakfast(which i missed). There are single, twin, four and six bed rooms, some ensuite. They offer internet and email access, a game room and have no curfew. Convenient location in Dublin's centre near Grafton St., Temple Bar and St. Stephen's Green. I enjoyed my stay here but the room was incredibly hot, even with the window open. However, the girls across the hall were perfectly comfortable.(guess it was just our room?)

  • Tip Rating:
  • Avalon House (though next time I'll be staying at Kinlay House, it's a lot closer into Town) We stayed in a 4 bed dorm with ensuite last time, first 2 nights were just my sisters and I, on the last night, a young irish lad from Belfast joined our room. I think he panicked! But it worked out to about £13 each per night.

    No curfew, clean and adequate facilities. Internet access but neither of the net points were working when I was there. Includes breakfast.

  • Avalon House

    This listed building, which started out as a medical school in Victorian times, now provides excellent budget accommodation. Ideal for groups, singles and couples, beds are available in dorms or smaller rooms upon request. All the beds are clean and the rooms are newly decorated. There is a great café on the premises, with a huge fire and a high ceiling, perfect for cappuccino and newspapers.

  • Avalon House is located in the centre of Dublin, two minutes from Grafton Street, Temple Bar, and the historical St. Stephen's Green. The hostel is situated in a renovated Victorian medical school, listed with Dublin Corporation as a building of outstanding Architectural merit. Atmosphere alone makes this a place worth staying in.

    Avalon House is a listed Victorian building, providing a range of accommodation from singles to large dorms. The hostel is only 5 minutes walk from Temple Bar, Dublin's cultural quarter, and from Grafton Street, Dublin's main shopping street. All Dublin's main attractions are within walking distance. There are plenty of pubs around the hostel - too many to mention.... Avalon House's reception has all the information you need about tours, sights, nightlife, ....

  • Since Dublin was our first major city, it was also our first expierience in living at a hostel. it was interesting as we shared a 12 bed room. we were fortunate we had the upper loft which had 4 beds, 2 on each side of the room.

    breakfast offered a muffin, a banana, and a drink (oj or coffee). it was ok, but got kinda blah after awhile. there are pool tables, and several TVs. interenet is available, at a price of course. lockers for storing your packs. one of the nice bonuses is that it's very near the downtown. so, it's good "stumbing" distance and there are good jumping points to starts your adventure. and most of the staff is pretty cool. which is nice for someone visiting a new country.
