Abbey Court Hostel

Telephone: +353-1-878700

Public Transport: LUAS (Abbey Street), Dublin Bus (Quays, O’Connell Street)

If there is a hostel in the heart of Dublin, the Abbey Court must be a contender – if you leave the hostel, O'Connell Bridge is to your left, Ha'penny Bridge to your right. To reach you'll have to cross Bachelor's Walk, however, one of the notorious points where Dublin's traffic clogs up impressively. You're near O'Connell Street and all attractions, but you are also in the middle of a traffic jam nearly 24/7.

The Abbey Court Hostel has doubles or dorms from four to twelve beds, some en suite, all with security lockers. A self-catering kitchen and a dining room are an alternative to the in-house restaurant.

Recommended?

Ideally situated in the innerest city, but prone to traffic noise and fumes. Reasonably quiet at night.
