Isaacs Hostel Reviews

Everything was ok, nice employees, everything clean. I'll certainly come back.

The location is fantastic, the rooms clean, beds comfortable, people nice. All you need for a very small price :)

I was extremely happy with the choice of this hostel. We managed to get a three person room, so we had the privacy of a hotel for a fraction of the price. The only thing was that it was a bunk bed with a double bottom so my friend and I had to share a bed for three nights and the room was tiny..the upside- our room was always nice and toasty (don't turn the heating on at night- you don't need it!). Other than that, maybe more kitchen utencils..otherwise brilliant! I recommend the pub crawl!

Isaacs hostel was really great - very clean, good value for money, more like a hotel than a hostel. The staff were all very nice and helpful, especially the Irish lady at the front desk with brown hair (can't remember her name unfortunately).

I want to not tell people about this place so I can keep it to my self!

This was my first experience at a hostel and instead of returning home with a horror story, but other then that someone was sleeping on my bunk the first night the experience was very satisfactory.

GREAT LOCATION, CLEAN, FRIENDLY, GREAT STAFF FANTASTIC AMENITIES, FULL MARKS!

Again it was a great stay at Isaacs, but unfortunately we had the tiny tiny room. I know there are bigger ones - but okay... Breakfast was alright as always (tea,coffee, orange juice, milk, jam, cereals and toast). I can recommend Isaacs ;-)

COLD showers

This hostel was pretty sketchy. one woman there seemed very odd (dirty, talked to herself, at 20 pieces of bread at breakfast)... on my last night, saw her sleeping on the street. Also, one night on way back to hostel a woman asked me for money. said no, went home, and while in hallway with friends, she walked past us. hmmmm.... definitely not a great hostel for a girl travelling alone. no lockers in room. also, lots of older ppl stay here, not young. wood floors=impossible to sleep in, up at 8

I was very disappointed in the honesty of the staff. I had called the day before check in to make sure that everything was in working order from the floods previously in the week. They told me that everything was fine, however there was no hot water for showering during my entire stay. When I confronted them about this manner they were unapologetic and pretty much said that they were not going to do anything about it. They also recommended a pub crawl that was the biggest rip off.

Stay was great, But the guy at reception gave me dodgy directions to the ferry port, you can't catch the tram then walk, its a good hour or more to walk to the port from the tram stop, nearly missed my boat because of this advise. Hostel its self was very nice and clean.

The showers weren't very clean and lacked warm water. The people at the front desk were very helpful and friendly. I liked the atmosphere of the lobby area as well.

Best first hostel experience, very friendly, active and fun hostel as well as people/staff!

Hostel & activities definitely geared towards younger crowd. Trains were loud but eventually stopped during the night, facilities were clean. Overall it's a good place to lay your head. I spent 3 nights at Jacob’s Inn & 1 night at Isaacs – both very similiar. I thought Jacob’s was great, and would personally choose there over Isaacs (they are partner facilities).

One has to say that we arrived pretty late. So we just couldn`t experience the fun sites of the hostel. Anyway, what we didn`t like was that they were closing one section after the other and we felt a little bit pushed around due to that. However, we had a nice time and enjoyed the staff and the friendly atmosphere!

Very friendly people, nice with the little outside bar, the basement with all the facilities, the hospitality, we enjoyed it. Thanks!

I would definitely recommend this hostel to travelers staying in Dublin. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable, the rooms were clean and felt safe, and the location was not far from Dublin's best sights. Highlights included the hostel-organized pub crawl and the hostel's own bar! Beers were only 2.50, and it was fun drinking and getting to know other travelers in the beer garden.

Isaac is okay but for the price , it would be lovely if Isaac can put up computer for free internet. this would be an extra attraction . For senior citizens, Isaac more considerate to give us lower floors ... not on first come first serve basis

Definitly one of the best hostels I've stayed at period. Very chill and has a lot of character. Free wifi and their bar has drinks for 2.50, and dinner and a drink for 5. Very big kitchen with plenty of space for cooking, and a nice coutryard with room to enjoy your meal. BThe only downside is that the lockers are down in the basement but other than that it's great. It's within walking range of everything so there's no need to buy a transit pass or anything. Bathrooms are very clean as well.
