Hostelworld says

The centrally located Kinlay House Dublin is just a few metres from Dublin Castle and Christchurch Cathedral, offering travellers ‘a GREAT bargain’, according to one Hostelworld guest. Many of our users cite the downstairs pub as a highlight of their stay here, with one of our visitors saying they ‘would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone, especially students, as it is awesome and in close proximity to Temple Bar and other hopping places in Dublin’, while another guest said the hostel has ‘lots of people to meet but is far enough away [from Temple Bar nightlife] to be quiet at night’.

Property Description

At Kinlay House Dublin, we have prided ourselves for over 25 years on providing the most Irish hospitality, a fantastic location in a beautiful listed building, and helping each of our guests to experience the best that Dublin has to offer. We offer clean, secure and budget accommodation, located in the legendary Temple Bar area, and are situated just minutes from Trinity College, Grafton Street and Georges Street as well as the renowned nightlife havens of Camden Street and Harcourt Street.

You will also be pleased to hear that you wont have to drag your luggage all around Dublin, as it will only cost you 12euro for a return ticket to get the number 747 bus to us from the airport to our front door!

Every guest can make the most of our free light breakfast including cereals, toast and jams/spreads, big self-catering kitchen ( this closes at 11pm), huge chill out room with a pool table, a Netflix enabled TV and plenty of space to relax in groups or in a smaller gathering. Kinlay House backs right onto a traditional Irish pub, where you can often enjoy live music or their large outdoor terrace. We also have tablets for guest use, and of course, free WIFI!

There is a free walking tour which departs from our reception every morning at 10:45! We also provide free city maps, event guides, and if that wasn't enough, our staff are very knowledgeable, multilingual and can help you find the best events and activities to enjoy whilst you stay with us.

We can offer you different types of accommodation to make the most of travelling solo, in a small gathering or a big group. This includes rooms ranging from 4 to 24 bed dormitories, including one female only dorm, and a selection of private triple, twin/double and single rooms with ensuites or shared facilities.

The staff was fairly rude. Other reviewers mentioned this, but there were no other hostels to stay at when I booked. If you can book elsewhere.

Hostel was located in a great location. Some facilities like the bathrooms are old, but breakfast is included and the bunks are pretty clean (no outlets in the 24 bed-room). Would recommend if you are solo traveling to Dublin.

0/10 stars. worst. hostel. ever!! i stayed in the 24 bed dorm and it was insanely hot and stuffy and smelled so bad of BO. The bathrooms looked worse than what i imagine a prison to be like and everything in the building was practically falling apart. staff were rude and they didn’t explain anything at check in. no wifi. i also got woken up at 4am to a man screaming obscenities. I did not feel safe at all and honestly debated leaving and finding somewhere else to go immediately but it was st paddy’s weekend
