About Globetrotters/The Townhouse
Full Irish breakfast included.
Let's Go " A dose of luxury for the weary traveler ".
Ideally situated just a 2 minute walk from the main street in Dublin (O'Connell Street) the hostel building itself is very famous. It is 200 years old and was once the home of famous poets and playwrights Mr. Dion Boucicault and Lafcadio Hearne (Koizumi Yakumo). We have gone to great lengths to restore the buildings and the hostel still maintains the character of years gone by.
There is a marvellous friendly atmosphere here with guests and staff and the house is open 24 hours a day all year round.
