Isaacs Hostel

Great location

Ideal value for money, great location, exceptionally helpful staff, good common areas ,

The showers only stay on for less than 2 seconds before the water flow stops which is absurd. Not enough plugs in the rooms so if you’re in a top bunk especially you’re out of luck.

This is the only place I'll stay in Dublin. I love all the extra amenities to the place, especially the sauna at night. I'm a solo woman traveller, and I feel safe here. It seems to attract people that aren't looking to just party, but they certainly have entertainment if you are seeking it. During my stay, they had a live musician playing in the lobby, which was awesome. I also like that the women's only dorms are the same prices as the mixed dorms.

It's not the best location as it's right along train tracks. It's safe, but you can hear the train, so be careful if you're a light sleeper. But for those of us that can sleep through anything, this is the place for you! (It's more of a white noise to me)

Just right for the

Super Friendly & Helpful Staff - Plus the front desk person remembered my name the Next Day. What a great way to feel valued as a guest, well done! Convenient Location, a block from the bus station was the best. From there I could drop my bags and hit the shops and sights, which started just one block away - Perfect! They have a sauna, pool table, library and other lounge in the basement. It wasn't well advertised, as everyone seemed to be on the main floor. Great security - Key cards for every floor and room.

Wi-Fi not available in all rooms, so they recommend all guests go to lobby to use wi-fi, which does bring a community feel, but still inconvenient not having it in all rooms. Breakfast could start a little earlier for travelers who have early morning flights or plans. Nightly movie advertised, but not available Sauna available for only 3 hours, 1 for females only, 1 coed, 1 for males only. It was a little uncomfortable having just one naked old man in the sauna when I arrived, so I turned around and left.
