The hostel is fine, very good location. There was once a weird moment when I didn't get key to my room because they all were gone. But the rest was alright, big plus for the breakfast!

Nice location, close to everything. Staff was friendly and helpful. It should have lockers inside the room and could offer a typical Irish breakfast.

I had a single ensuite which was a nice room, comfortable and good value. Shower was great. As for location, the surrounding blocks are pretty dead, but it was walkable to the main tourist areas. Breakfast was good. My only real complaint was with noise, as there seemed to be a large group of high school students occupying the rooms surrounding mine, and they were pretty loud both late at night and early in the morning.

I had an amazing stay in a 6 bed dorm for 5 nights. Room was cleaned and quiet. The WIFI is not always working but they are a lot of people to make friends with. Perfect location, close to convenient stores and main attractions! People at the desk are really nice. I surely come back! Free breakfast is good enough for a good start!

The wooden floors are creaky, the carpets very old and worned out and due for replacement. None of the electrics sockets works in the rooms.

Overall a good stay for the price. It's a great location and met our needs. When we arrived, it didn't seem like anyone had cleaned our room for several days, but thankfully the next day it was considerably cleaner. The staff was friendly and helpful. Sound traveled easily into our room from the hallway, which made it difficult to sleep at times, but overall it quieted down enough as people settled into their rooms. Overall happy with our stay, considering the price.

As thers no locker, You should add some hook in the dorm, especially on the bathroom... there is no place to put our cloths. Reading lamps are always good, avoid people to keep the big lamp open..

Our stay on St. Patricks Day was very nice. The rooms and the bathooms were very clean. Kitchen equipment was in good conditon. We enjoyed our stay and we'll remember Abraham House for our next stay in Dublin.

My friend and I stayed here over St Patricks Day 2013. The staff were very helpful and kind. The room was pretty good, the beds were a quite hard, and the bathroom a little bit of a squeeze, but overall was a very nice place to stay.

The older gentleman at the front desk made the stay great. Great personality and wealth of information. The facilities could use some upgrading. Also the lounge and the ability to interact with other travelers was slim to none. Good value based on location just needed more interaction among guests. Thank you!

Caused by industrial actions 3 of us were not able to depart from Düsseldorf on Friday. So unfortunately we weren't in Dublin last weekend. Cancellation policy of Abraham House is 48 hrs prior to arrival, so we have to pay at least one night. That's really sad...

Due to a labor strike we came one Day late and they kept our room. The Location is very good in walking distance to the City. A good place to explore Dublin.

Hands down the best part of this place is the free breakfast. We got there and there was no toilet paper in the bathroom.

We had a nice stay at the hostel. The breakfast was great, but unfortunately we didn't have a bin in our bathroom (??). All in all, it's a nice hostel with very friendly staff.
