Amazing location, right in the heart of everything, just near the Aston quay stop for the Dublin express from airport. Comfy clean beds (great sleep, quiet on floor 4), great shower and bathrooms, well equipped kitchen with tea making facilities. Lockers under beds for your stuff you just need to rake a padlock. Lockers for hire in reception for a couple of euros if you want to leave your bags on checkout day. Would recommend.

The place felt very cleaned and I liked how secure each door was, so I felt safe. The location was perfect for spending time around temple bar and I would stay here again.

Amazing location, right at the heart of Dublin. Be prepared to accommodate your roommates at the hostel location (e.g. earplugs). Having a common area kitchen is amazing and the staff are very good with keeping the place regularly clean. BRING YOUR OWN BATH TOWEL (or prepare to pay). I suggest women travelers choose ensuite bathroom 6 or 8 women only for best privacy and safety.

As a first time hostel visitor, this was a great first experience. Everything was ao aimple, staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean, bathroom facilities were clean, and the shower had great pressure. Just minutes away from the Temple Bar area. I had a hired car, and a q-park lot was just one block away, which was great when I needed to get something I didn’t want to bring inside. Highly recommended!

The location is excellent for walking in central Dublin... along the river, all the shops and pubs in Temple Bar, Trinity College, Christchurch Cathedral, St. Stephens Green, EPIC, etc., and it's also just steps away from the Dublin Airport Express bus stop on Aston Quay. Our accommodation (private room & with bath) was simple, clean and very efficient. Highly recommended!

Convenient place for short staying

The hostel is located at the center of the city. Close to everything. Bus stop is just in front of the front-door, and there is a supermarket next to the hostel. The only disadvantage for me is the noise. The bathroom is in the room, so when people using the toilet or taking the shower, it’s quite loud. Overall, it’s good place and price for shot staying.

I'd like a refund for my stay at Abigail's. Around 2am a drunk man came stumbling in, dropping his things and humming/ chanting something. It scared the hell out of me. He started hovering over my bed staring and chanting at me. I kept his light on and continued talking and chanting to himself. I asked him to stop several times. I spoke to Joaquin at reception for a refund and he gave me your contact information. There are also women screams through out the night. I have some of this on recording and I'm sure the other 2 men in my room can attest to all this. I would just appreciate a refund and I won't leave negative reviews but know this has been the worst hostel/ hotel experience I've ever had. The man has also started peeing in his bed.

I was waiting there 5 hour to do my check in at 14:00 and finally when I was able to do the check it and go into the dorm I decided to have a nice shower and just go straight ahead to bed because I was super tired, but once I got into shower I found out that the shower slowly getting flooded. that was just ridiculous, I just packed my stuff again and went down stairs showed the reception that I can't even have a shower, then they said they are so sorry and they didn't knew that, Oh Yeah ? Well they how come there were 3 guest in same room as mine and they still didn't knew that ? That's just ridiculously funny, So I asked them for full refund took my stuff and run away as far as I can from this horrible place and hopefully never come back !!!!!

I will not recommend that place to no one !

I stayed in room 19, a six female room on the first floor. I travel with a carry-on so the stairs worked well for me. The room was a decent size with locker storage under each bunk bed.

Staff were super helpful at check-in, and provided good tips on tours and other activities.

The only downside was the fact that the hostel is a popular choice for school groups and they literally took over the kitchen to cater to their group elbowing other guests away who were finishing up their meal preparation. Having twenty-five 14-year-olds descend on the common area and yell across the room at one another really kills the ambiance of a hostel. Of course this isn’t the fault of hostel staff..... it’s the teachers responsibility to train their students to respect other guests ,... it’s something to keep in mind.

OMG Unbelievably great hostel; only a few cons

This hostel is absolutely AMAZING for the value of the price!!! Dear lord, the list of benefits are long: you're literally right in the Temple District near the iconic bar and cute-single-park-bike-and-locals-having-a-pint area, and also literally RIGHT next to the ha'penny bridge. The location couldn't be more perfect for a tourist visiting. The staff is friendly, breakfast is included, bathrooms are in the rooms (12 bed stay was still comfortable; big room with lots of space), excellent internet... only two cons. The showers have no place to put things; toiletries, clothes you are taking off or going to change into, so things get dirty and wet... and the hostel does not have a self-service laundry mat of its own; which in my opinion as a seasoned traveler is imperative for a hostel to have one. Other than that, would ABSOLUTELY stay again. Do yourself a favor and stay here!

This is a hostel, not a 5 star hotel. With that in mind, it is a FABULOUS, five star hostel. I felt safe. The room and bathroom was clean. The bed is comfortable (besides hitting my head on the upper bunk about 10 times before I learned to duck.) It's like being back in college dormitory life. The front desk is usually very upbeat and friendly, happy to help with booking a tour or answering questions. (There were 1 or 2 cranky butts, but I asked and got what I needed anyways.) The lockers are great for storing stuff safely, and you cannot beat the location.

I visited from the states for my birthday, the best part about this hostel is the location. It's proximity to the heart of Dublin was unmatched. I chose a room with 6 beds and that was fine. We had adequate spacing. I wished the bathroom area had counter/storage space because it was quite interesting getting dressed with nowhere to lay a towel and clothing when you share a room with so many people.

Good Deal!

Overall a great deal for the purpose of my visit!
Pros: LOCATION. Temple Bar is right outside! Loved it! Also close to airport shuttle stops and major city bus stops. Practically beside a grocery store, souvenir shop, etc.
Also staff were all very friendly and very helpful whether I was looking for day tours or just bus stops. They were all very knowledgeable and approachable.
Breakfast was also a nice perk! 2 pieces of toast with jam and a glass of orange juice saved me like €5 on breakfast elsewhere and it was so convenient.
Overall the price and location were ideal for my short sightseeing trip. Also the en suite was appreciated!
Cons: Being a hostel it was not spotless. It was fairly clean compared to other hostels I've stayed in but there was mold on the ceiling in my room. Never ideal.
Otherwise though great for my 2 night stay in Dublin! Compared to other hostels in the same price range this was by far the best choice!

This was my first time staying in a hostel, so I can't compare, but I thought it was a great hostel. The room seemed standard with 3 sets of bunk beds. The lights and plugs worked fine. Our room's bathroom had a bathtub that didn't drain properly, but they came and fixed it which is great. The breakfast was ok, and can get very busy. The one warning I will give is bring earplugs or headphones or something to help you sleep. The hostel is next to the Temple Bar area, and I've heard and seen all sorts of shady goings (drugs, vomiting, public urination, people making whoopie) happening in the little street just outside my window, even in the middle of the afternoon. I would definitely stay here again, the location is amazing!
