Isaacs Hostel Reviews

I choose Isaacs Hostel because it was close to the Paddy's Palace, which was full, and would be taking a tour from there. The amenities are great. There is a great TV room, ping pong table, and computers downstairs in the basement. There rooms are fine. I stayed in a 6 bed dorm which was spacious enough. The staff is friendly. The hostel is near a main shopping district of Dublin.

It was my second time at Isaacs and I really like the hostel. It is well located and one can reach the main points of the city very easily and on foot. The staff is extremely helpful and nice. I would only recommend the stay in the hostel!

This hostel is great. The staff is excellent and try to accommodate their guests in any way possible. My only complaints are that there were not enough sinks in the bathroom (only two for an entire floor) and that it was expensive for us to stay there. Overall I had a great experience at Isaacs!

Breakfast was simple but good, facilities were cleaned often. Building was not well insulated against sound so if you have a hard time sleeping don't pick a hostel.

We really enjoyed our stay at Isaacs and loved the pub crawl they offer every night! Our crawl guide Paul was awesome and made our first night in Dublin memorable.

I stayed for 1 night with 4 other friends, great location, close to the bus station and easy walking distance to Temple Bar/Trinity/Grafton st etc. Staff were lovely and helpful. The only thing letting this place down was the heat. Even with the window open (which enhanced traffic noise) we were waking up every hour absolutely boiling hot, so we didn't get a great nights sleep.

Very good atmosphere!

It's a nice hostel, but a bit too big. It's so busy, it's hard to feel like home this way... Futhermore the staff is really nice but a bit too busy to answer nicely to everybody. There are no computer in free access, only free wifi. Good point : there is a sauna.

This is a very big and busy hostel - great if you want to be social, or if you're in a group. Very central. Felt a little unclean at times, and there was nowhere to lock up personal belongings in the room, which you would expect in such a huge place. Still, it was all right over all.

Good basic city centre hostel convenient for bus and train statioms. Friendly and helpful staff and good atmosphere in the reception area where people congregate and sit and chat (and drink)

I loved this hostel, everything about it. The staff were amazingly helpful and welcoming, the facilities were top notch and the location is great. The only down side was the lack of lockers in the rooms, but they have them downstairs in the basement. I think every hostel should come in and take a note from Isaac's because I am very impressed! Cheers Isaac's, from the Aussie ginger.

I liked this hostel, the lounges in the tunnels underground were very cool. Atmosphere is lovely, staff is great. Only complaint I can think of is that the showers smell AWFUL sometimes and the sinks are so small its impossible to wash your face. As a solo traveler I noticed the place attracts groups of friends and couples, so despite the cool atmosphere it was difficult to meet people. Everyone just sits around on their phones/laptops. There is a GREAT breakfast place just around the corner.

Good hostel and good atmosphere

We, my friend and I, loved this hostel! It was central and so going anywhere was within walking distance, it had great character, and the staff were always ready to help. Thanks Isaac's!

For this hostel to be as old as it is and not have lockers in the rooms, especially when there is more than enough room, is a joke. I was up on the 3rd floor and had to go down to the basement to get into my luggage. The pillows might as well be non existant, however the blankets are really warm. This hostel really needs a bar or better organising for a pub crawl then the atmosphere would be much better. In saying all that i did enjoy my stay here. The kitchen, showers and free breakfast great.

Only stayed here 1 night and weren't here for the atmosphere but lots of people seemed to enjoy hanging out in the large communal room. We were in an 8 bed all girls room and there was no trouble with noise even though people went to bed at different times. Breakfast included coffee, toast and jam, and cornflakes. Only downside was paying a deposit for the lockers located in the basement. The lockers are made out of chain link so we were a little worried about security but it was fine.

Friendly cheerful staff. The rooms are quite comfortable. Contents breakfast is inlcuded! Location is pretty good, a small walk to the town and attractions.

Had a great first time in Dublin while staying at Isaac's. the knowledgable, friendly staff gave me some great tips on where to go and what to do during my stay. The rooms andnfacilities were well-kept, and the HUGE locker space you get for €2 per day was perfect for my luggage. Isaac's is just a short walk away from the Temple Bar district, and it had some great restaurants (Thai Spice and Rasher Behan's, just to name two) that didn't break the bank nearby too, which made the location great.

A pleasant hostel, the staff is really friendly and answers all the questions. It's a little bit noisy due to the proximity of the railway. The rooms are clean but in my opinion it lacks a locker.

At the week-ends very loud. People staying in front of the hostel beneeth the windows in rooms where other people try to sleep. Definitely need ear plugs!!!
