Welcome to Clink i Lár!

True to its name—which means ‘in the middle’ in Irish—Clink i Lár puts you exactly where you want to be. Located on historic Abbey Street, our brand-new hostel is the ultimate base for exploring Dublin’s heart. Getting here is a breeze; whether you jump on an express airport bus to O’Connell Street or take a local route, you’re only a 5-minute walk from our front door and the city’s best sights.

We’ve designed every inch of the hostel with the modern backpacker in mind. You’ll find a wide range of accommodation to fit your budget, from social shared dorms to sleek private rooms. To make sure you get a great night’s rest, every dorm bed comes equipped with its own privacy curtain, an LED reading light, and dedicated power and USB outlets for your tech. It’s all the comfort of a hotel with the soul of a hostel.

The social vibe at Clink i Lár centers around our very own WunderBAR—the perfect spot to sample your first local pint or discover Dublin’s finest craft breweries.

This place was great! This is one of the nicest hostels I have stayed at. You have a great amount of privacy and security. The curtains and the cubby like beds make this stay feel ALOT more private. The staff were all very friendly and happy to help as well
