Isaacs Hostel Reviews

This hostel is well located beside the bus station. Also, it is nice, but BIG. There always lots of people around. Some of the staff are very friendly and helpful. The showers are a bit weird with just one hot temperature and they make the hallways very steamy too. Would recommend for location alone.

Very crowded and very loud. Facilities are ok but there's not enough of them per floor.

It is a nice hostel, quite good location, near the bus station. The common room is big, with good music! And the breakfast which is free, its very good as well.! However, I didn´t like 3 things: Very noisy., the beds didn´t have bed sheets(just one), and the kitchen usually close at night.

The hostel was big with lots of space to chill out (up stairs tables and basement common room). The kitchen facilities were all really good too. Really close the the main bus station and O'Connell St. The only downers were that the wifi only worked in the common areas, it could have been good to be able to use it in the rooms also. And it was really hot and stuffy in most of the building.

This was easily the best hostel I've ever stayed in, and I've stayed in a lot. The staff are absolutely fantastic, hilarious, so willing to help you with everything and give advice to make the most of your stay. One of the staff guys even gave me a towel for free just to be nice, and they recommended a great day trip I never would have found otherwise. Ping-pong table is great too. Atmosphere is always bustling, easy to meet people, make friends and go partying.

It´s not located in the middle of the city center, which I liked. But everything is in a walking distance. There´s a train that passes right next to the hostel, sometimes you can hear the noise from the room. Lockers cost 2 euros per day. The worst thing are the bathrooms and showers. I stayed 2 days and it was really stuffy on each floor and inside the rooms, althiugh he windows were open, the air coming in wasn´t enough. The best: the 2 guys at reception during the afternoon!!!

Staff was amazing! It is right next to the bus station. Had a lot of fun for my first hostel stay! Have stayed at 3 more before righting this post and this one was the best.

No public computer provided in the hostel :(

Nice staff and good breakfast. It feels and sounds like a college dorm (majority of clients in early 20s). It is a loud place with people yelling in the hallway and alleyways. The weighted room doors slam shut when they close. Not enough sitting space for number of clients. It is located a few blocks from the worst part of Dublin. I walked 3 blocks north of the hostel and got my iPhone snatched at an intersection during the day. Would not recommend this place. Stay south of river.

Women's bathrooms have extremely poor ventilation - resulting in always steaming, always sauna-like air.

Loved it!

Hostel was too hot! Bathrooms could be cleaned better. Didnt receive a warm welcome

Train passed by the window outside the room every few minutes, which was probably the worst thing ever. No lockers/wifi in the rooms was also somewhat annoying. Overall, wasn't a fan.

Worst breakfast ever. Wifi doesn't work.

This place was very nice. Staff were friendly. Spent three nights there and enjoyed the location, helpful staff and it was really easy to meet people in the hostel. The room was decent. You can hear the train, but it didn't bother us at all. I'd definitely go back.

Isaac's was our first hostel. It was a great first one. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The rooms were decent. The lockers are located in the basement, so if don't mind walking up and down stairs to lock your bag up, it's great. Bathrooms were clean. Free wi-fi...but it doesn't reach the bedrooms too well. Decent breakfast of cereal and toast. The commons area is very relaxed and comfortable. Great location in town. Great stay!!

Great place to meet people! The rooms on the third floor were extremely hot and humid but everything else was great!

A good Hostel although not as good as I was expecting as it had such great reviews. the rooms were fine, clean and so were the showers. Staff were friendly and helpful Unfortunately there is no Wi-Fi in the rooms which was annoying. The Kitchen didn't have enough cooking utensils i.e.; Knives. The breakfast was good apart from the fact that the only choice of cereal was corn flakes. They had a locker room but you had to pay to use it. The train also goes right past the hostel and is quite loud.

Too much noise from even walking on the floor on the third floor and squeaky beds in room 305. Apart from that the stay was brilliant.

Very hospitable staff but you could literally hear every door slam (and they all slammed), it was very hot in the room (my husband and i ended up sleeping separately in the bunk bed), and the showers had one drain for four showers and push button water sources. So if you dont plan on spending anytime sleeping and dont have lots of hair, this would be great for you. Staff was able to help with all area related questions, loaned adapters for power sources, and were available 24/7.
