If you are someone who prefers activities outside the hostel and is a good place to stay, the location is perfect, the breakfast is excellent but in general the cleaning is not so good! A very negative point: there is no lockers in room. The bathroom is individual to each room and the showers are great. Staff are efficient but not friendly, maybe I guest there again.

In the morning, no hot water in the shower! The location was great though. But 90€ for the room we had was definitely too much...

The staff at Abraham House was very friendly and helpful. The location was great! Unfortunately those are the only good things to say. The hallways smelled like urine and upon arriving in our room we found that the bathroom had not been cleaned. The previous occupants hadn't even bothered to flush the toilet before they left which made the room smell. There was some sort of fluid spilled on the floor. The room was freezing as well and there was no way to adjust the heat.

Before you plan to stay at the Abraham House asked them if there are people from Spain. If so avoid the Hostel. Spanish People are noisy, rude, stupid and selfish. They don't mind about other guest and take no consideration about people who want to sleep.

The stay in that maze of a house was really excellent. It was quite close to everything worth seeing in Dublin, but also quiet enough for a good night's sleep. Definitely recommend.

The hostel is well located, near the heart of the city. We stayed there for two nights, the room was full (16 beds), we had a very good time. The staff was very nice. We wanted to do a tour in Galway and they called for us the company and booked the tour. The cleaness was good (bathrooms were clean). However, in the rooms, it is fitted carpet.

The staff at the front desk were friendly enough and certainly helpful. I liked room 50 as it's quiet back there and the bathrooms are nice/clean and designed for efficiency as the toilets and showers are separated. The bathroom in room 10 is nast and needs to be revamped. Thanks for the free breakfast, wifi, and luggage storage!

I would have appreciated a little more security when it came to giving out the keys. There were times we didn't have to show our ticket and that worried me a little. I'm hoping it's just because we were recognized.

For such a cheap rate, this place was great value for the money it cost! No problems with security, though the lockers were not large enough to put valuable things in and they cost money to rent. There was a decent breakfast provided in the morning, and the facilities were clean. The location was fantastic, a short walk from the Temple Bar district, good restaurants, and Trinity College. The only annoying thing was that there was only 1 bathroom in a 10 person room. I would def stay here again!

Personnel sympathique et serviable, à l'image du peuple Irlandais. Endroit agréable mais vraiment froid et humide (mal isolé) Pas de laverie, même payante, c'est regrettable. Bonne impression dans l'ensemble.

First days the kitchen was a little bit untidy and dirty but last days it was better. The staff is kind and helpful. I’m going back to the hostel next march and I’m recommending your hostel to my friends. The only thing is that I think that you should do people respect rules like the maintenance of a tidy kitchen and similar things, because there are people who disturb another not respecting general rules. Another thing is that in shared bedroom, like 12 bed rooms, it could be good have lights m
