Dublin International (YHA)

Dublin International (YHA) is set in a converted convent with backpacker-themed stained glass windows. Hostelworld guests have said this hostel is 'full of character and has a quirky feeling about it', offering a 'warm welcome'. There's an international mix of 'very friendly and helpful' staff with 'good recommendations of places to visit'. We like that this hostel, which is rated as 'very clean', serves highly-recommended scones with their continental breakfast in the former nuns' chapel.

We're Dublin's only YHA and Hostelling International member and the only hostel in Dublin to win the prestigious HI-Quality Award.

Dublin International Youth Hostels building has, in its time, been a convent, a church and a school for the community and still bears the marks of these times. Perhaps the most obvious example is the old nuns' chapel which has been converted into a restaurant.
