Really nice place! I was kind of surprised due to its price and location. Good location and can't complain about the facilities. I would definitely go back to this place.

The heater was not working, and the staff did nothing to solve the problem. The room was freezing. Shower was freezing too.

the only downside is that now they have installed computerized lockers, so you will have to pay 3-4 euro per day to access a safe lock. I decided to leave my valuables in my room, I simply locked my suitcase and that worked for me. Internet connection works perfectly in the common area.

I would recommend Abigail's Hostel to anyone as being the best hostel I've been in so far. The staff were very pleasant n willing to help without a hesitation. Any questions I had for tours, were answered n booked for me. Very clean n tidy, the people never stopped working, keeping it that way. Easy walking distance to everywhere n is right beside the river. Overall 10/10. Security to the rooms were excellent too, i was never worried that I or my belongings weren't going to be safe. Thank u

I have mostly really positive things to say. Lovely, helpful staff. Clean, big rooms. Great overall. WIFI did not work in the rooms, a minor inconvenience as one had to come down to the lounge to use it. No big deal however. And they do not actually provide free lockers which the site implied they did. So budget for that if you have valuables or other things you will need to lock up. I just left stuff in the rooms and it seemed OK. However, a really good stay overall.

Great place! Right next to the temple bar and close to trinity college. Probably the best hostel in dublin! The staff was so helpful to find tours and great places to eat.

They woke me up at 01:00 am because they asked me to change room and pick up all my stuff to go in a worst room. Unbelievable! New arrivals are regularly coming at night. They are very noisy because they have still to make their bed. No secure lockers in the rooms. Lockers in front of the reception are not free. No facilities, no computer, no games. Only corridors! There is just a living room just located at the entrance with the reception and a kitchen. The place looks very industrial.

This is the best hostel I have stayed in. So close to everything, & staff very helpful. The breakfast was really great - yummy yoghurt, fruit, two types of cereals, eggs, toast - the works!! Beds very comfortable & the rooms were nice & warm, & ensuite bathroom is so good. Shower was fantastic - plenty of hot water & great pressure. Will definitely stay there again if I visit Dublin..

My experience with Abigails has been great! Loved getting to meet new people in the kitchen/common area. The fact that the walking tours do a pick-up right at the hostel is fantastic!

The best thing is, that you are in the middle of Dublin just in Temple Bar!! For the price it was quite good... But the receptionist was very unfriendly, the breakfast isn't good at all, it has nothing but cereals and toast, which is presented very very loveless, and the smell in the corridors is awfull!!!

Great location and friendly staff. Plenty of room and kitchen facilities in the common area. The only minus is not having lockers in rooms (though there are lockers in the common area, but you have to pay for them).
