Pub Crawl!
Ben and I had a great time touring the Guinness Storehouse and the Old Jameson Distillery, and at the end of the day we had a nap before heading out on the Hostel's Pub Crawl. To be honest, our expectations were low, but it completely blew our expectations out of the water. It was a combined group of all the hostels in Dublin (or most of them), and …
Leaving of Liverpool - rock n roll into Dublin
Before we let our motel by the Mersey, we confirmed by phone that our ferry to Ireland has been cancelled and that we have to get a later one. It seems that the seas are too rough for the smaller, sleaker ferries to crosss the Irish sea and the gale warnings have meant that we have to get on the larger slower ferry later today. Oh well, just go …
Dublin - To be sure, to be sure.
Day 11 - 3 July 2008 Today we leave Glasgow!! First stop was Stranaer to catch a ferry over to Belfast, Ireland. Heaps and Heaps of golf course on the way. The ferry was huge and was basically a large cruise ship. Had a food court, kid play room etc. When we arrived at Belfast we were told that our bus had already left! We booked a taxi to the …
Dublin
I took the 7:15 am train from Galway to Dublin on Friday which was a bit to early for my liking but it ending up being a picturesque train ride. After arriving in Dublin I took the bus to Abbey Court Hostel which was huge compared to my first hostel experience (200 beds.) I ended up lucking out and got one of the really nice apartments with some …
Welcome to Ireland
I flew in without a plan and made one. I consulted with a tourist lady in the terminal whose name was Marian. She set me up at the Abbey Court Hostel on Bachelors' Walk (the street name) on the banks of the River Liffey in the heart of Dublin, right across from the famous Temple Bar area.
I purchased a 20 Euro pass that included a bus trip …

“ A Nice Spot ”
Reviewed Jul 29, 2012
The service was great, rooms were clean and pretty roomy, and there were plenty of bathrooms which were clean and well-stocked. The location was very good, right near all of the pubs in Temple Bar. We also went on the Saturday pub crawl run by the hostel and had a GREAT time. I would recommend this hostel to a friend.

“ Not very secure, dubstep til 6 AM ”
Reviewed Jul 15, 2012
It was a basic place to stay. The staff was helpful and gave me nice direction for a first time Dublin traveler. However, the security was abysmal. Anyone could seemingly walk in the front door. I stayed in an 18 bed room called the "Shamrock Room." The "lock" on the door was not very helpful, as the door didn't close unless someone pulled it shut. So anyone in the hostel that walked in, which you could do with great ease without proving you were staying there, could in theory come into your room and help themselves to their things. Oh, and then on my 2nd night there, someone started a dubstep party at 4 AM and didn't stop until 6 AM, directly below the room in which I was staying. Heavy bass and loud noise meant 2 hours of shitty sleep for me. If I can help it, I won't go back there. The front desk girls were nice though.

“ Welcome to European Hostels ”
Reviewed Mar 24, 2011
After hearing dreadful and horrifying stories of other travelers' experiences in hostels, I had beyond low expectations. If I could make it out without being stabbed, I'd be happy. The first two hostels I stayed in though, well exceeded these expectations. So, landing confidently in Dublin, I imagined more of the usual. Abbey Court is pretty disgusting. And I don't say that because of the older Scottish man with questionable hygiene who was staying in our 12-bed dorm. I say that because you can nearly feel the bacteria crawling on the floors and bed posts. We wised up the last two nights and splurged for the private rooms in a separate, immensely cleaner building.
