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.

Wish there were lockers in the rooms and free, instead of only in the basement. It would have been nice if there was wifi in the rooms as well, but not really a huge issue since there was plenty of seating downstairs.

A great place to meet people from around the world! Staff was extremely nice and very helpful! Located near the bus station. For the amount it cost, I was very pleased! I recommend it!

Fantastic place for the price really enjoyable since I stopped by on my work and travel experience here in Ireland. I intend to come by again and would gladly recommend it to others since I am also filming Dublin.

Stayed at Isaac's for 3 nights in a 6-bed dorm. Liked the different spaces in the hostel for reading, watching TV, or lounging. Didn't like that the lockers were pay-per-day and NOT in the rooms, but they were secure. Staff was helpful and we liked that you could book trips or buses at reception. WiFi was not in-room but worked fine elsewhere. Breakfast was slimmed-down, but included. Extra showers in the basement were nice for crowded mornings. Close to many attractions. Will stay again!

Very loud and difficult to sleep when the trains were constantly passing over the hostel. If you are a light sleeper, I would recommend ear plugs or even picking a different place to stay. Also the lockers were not the most conveniently placed to store belongings.

One shower for 16 people is not enough. The WiFi only worked in the common areas. This hostel has a good atmosphere, though.

Very large hostel with three floors of rooms. I was lucky enough to be on the top floor away from the noisy lobby. Rooms are good and fairly clean however there is only 5 showers and 2 toilets shared throughout a whole floor of rooms. Needless to say they got messy quite quickly.

Very disappointing!! 20 euros to sleep next to the train station....The room was only a few meters from the rail which is not told on their website. I could not sleep before 1 a.m. very noisy the whole night....doors have been slammed from midnight until 4.00 am ( the time we had to get up to go the airport). I will never sleep there anymore!

The facility was excellent, staff bent over backward to help with luggage, maps and directions and helpful suggestions.

The only TINY issue I had was that I had no where to securely put my things outside of the basement lockers. There was nowhere secure in the room, and it was difficult to manage the showers for similar reasons. HOWEVER! Nothing went missing. :) Overall, I really liked my stay. I felt very comfortable.
