Abbey Court Hostel

Breakfast was included in my booking. However I had to prove that as I was asked to pay for breakfast at the reception. By the way on the right hand side of the entrance there’s a big sign with some points one of which is “free breakfast”.

It was ok, but no lift up to the top flor (4 levels) which was definitely not good for anyone with physical limitations. Should add that I stayed in a single room, which was next door to the hostel, so unclear if the hostel has a lift or not. But it was a comfortable room, quiet except for the damn seagulls that are squawking all day and night! No A/C for those who require it, but it was cool weather there while visiting with a storm pasing through. Listing said they had a washer for clothes bit it was "out of service", which was the second of three hotels I stayed in that claimed that over an 8-day period, so needed to spend an additional $20 to do a sigle load at a laundromat. Overall, the location was great, right in the heart of Dublin, room was comfortable, and close to everything. As mentioned in another review, lot of homeless and addicts in the area, with many cops just standing around in groups and not doing much to make tourists feel safe as the homeless are a bit aggressive. Cops are clearly reactive, not proactive, so unfortunately they probably won't do anything until something happens, which can be too late for someone.

Abbey Court is a great place to stay, situated within walking distance of key sites in Dublin. The beds were reasonably comfortable, showers and other bathroom facilities were clean, and we enjoyed the bar, eating, and activity areas. The murals add charm to the hallways and stairwell. The free breakfast was fantastic. Thx very much for a great stay!

Location is phenomenal!

Great

Location great, room was basic but all that was needed.

The only minor flaw was there was nowhere to put your phone to charge overnight

This property is in a great location from which to catch airport bus, it is also in a good location from which to explore the city. The rooms and bathrooms were clean. There was a bit of noise at night so earplugs are recommended. The showers are a one temperature deal - slightly hot but ok. Overall, I had a great stay.

Good location to restaurants and landmarks. Like the design of the exterior.

Four flights of stairs with a suitcase and no lift wasn’t ideal. Couldn’t turn around in shower without knocking the nozzle off. Staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast facilities were good, loved the artwork everywhere.

Okay only there one night

Check in staff was not friendly at all, even felt rude. Location is good but the facilities and layout of dorm is bad. Worse is they charge on everything even for storing luggage. 3 euros. Not going back ever

Property location was perfect enjoyed my stay and facilities were great

Some of the reviews on this hostel talk about the cramped rooms and the tiny showers. They are that. However, this is a hostel with a fantastic location right in the heart of Dublin, with a great free breakfast to get you away to good start to your day and wonderful helpful staff who seem eager to help you enjoy your time in Dublin. Hostels aren't for people who want the facilities of the Ritz or Carlton. This hostel however, is the Ritz or Carlton of hostels, notwithstanding the smaller rooms and showers.

Most all the staff, except one, was friendly and knowledgeable. Hair dryers , hair straighteners, towels, umbrellas... everything is available... for a price. Luggage staorage should be free or discounted for guests. The hammocks needs to be cleaned. They offer great trips and are I a superb location. For the price it’s worth it, but the Nicole and dime a lot.

It was good. I went the cheap route and stayed in a large women's only room that had about 20 beds. I stayed 6 nights, so there were women checking in and out all the time. Lots of guest circulation. But I felt comfortable there. Small space. Body bunk bed and just a metal box that slid out below the bed. But I didn't need much else. The staff were very nice and helpful. You could join groups of other travelers for tours. There was a cafeteria area and a kitchen you could use and vending machines. It was very centralized. Easy walking access to everywhere. Women's only shower room and multiple bathrooms. I had a good experience, I'd highly recommend it.

It was an ok place. The common areas are large but strangely not big enough to really find a place to comfortably sit out of the way (especially if you are traveling solo). Warning: the breakfast is not a warm breakfast. Not my favorite hostel I've stayed in, but also not my least favorite.

I booked this accommodation for my girlfriend and I. I wanted value for money with - good location, a clean room, our own bathroom, good WiFi, breakfast provided and friendly staff. I’m delighted to say I got all of these here! Yes the room was basic but it was clean and quiet. Would recommend, for the price paid in central Dublin you can’t get better! FYI I booked double room with ensuite.

Very convenient to lots of interesting areas of the city. 24/7 opening is great. Breakfast v good. All very clean and tidy.

Excellent location, but the hostel urgently needs a refurbishment as it looks very outdated and shabby. We had a problem with the toilet flush in our en-suite room and nobody of the hostel staff took care of it. One of the girls at the reception has been very arrogant and not helpful on this matter at all: when we reported the issue to her, we have been offered 1 euro as refund for the inconvenience. It really seemed she was fooling us instead of trying to help, as she was supposed to. Breakfast room is also very outdated and not welcoming at all. Mattresses also were noisy and uncomfortable.
