Comments: Nice clean hostel bed, good location just on the North side, 2 mins from Temple Bar and the Southside and about 10 mins from nightclubs on the southside. Good security with keycard. Beds very comfy in the 10 Male dorm. Atmosphere chilled, nothing too crazy. Big TV room in the basement, not too many people talking. I get the train up from Dublin and stay here for weekend pissups instead of staying at friends house in the middle of nowhere. Will def do again!

Comments: It is hard to find a good and cheap hostel in Dublin, and this one is located close to everything. That said, there is nothing special to this hostel, and it is the type of place that makes you want to spend as minimal hours in there as possible (and find someone, I mean somewhere else to sleep that night). No lockers, pretty dirty.

Comments: We had an amazing time at Abbey Court. It\'s an awesome location right on the Liffey River and right across the river from the Temple Bar area. The staff was super helpful and there was maid service daily. Couldn\'t have asked for a better place for the money. I\'m going back to Dublin in a month and I plan on staying there again.

Comments: This hostel was great! It was right in the middle of everything. About a 20 minute walk from the Guinness Storehouse, 5 minutes from Tample Bar, just off O'Connell Street, right by the shopping district, everything! Although there is no bar on the property, there is no shortage of pubs in the area. I would definitely go back, the girls working at the counter were cute and very friendly. I checked out Sunday, but they let me leave my bags in the luggage storage until really early Monday when I had to catch a bus to the airport. Cheers!

Comments: I thought that nowadays all hostels have wifi. Abbey Court has no wifi (they donĀ“t claim to have eirher) and to use their computers costs a lot: 1€/15min. In the bathroom a fragrance machine worked making terribly strong fruit smell even in my bed. Breakfast is poor, but nice add ons are there, and you are not warned that you have to pay for them until you take them. This hostel is not bad, but there are many better ones in Dublin.

Comments: This hostel was alright. The 10-person room I stayed in smelled like body odor most of the time I was in there. Air freshener highly recommended. Also would recommend placing sheets in plastic bags and giving them to guests to ensure cleanliness of the sheets.

Comments: Abbey Court is a great location. Our bus from Galway dropped us off at the front door. The Temple Bar area was a 5 minute walk across the river, and the bus to the Dublin airport was around the corner.

Comments: The location of this hostel is not bad, in the middle between city centre and the Queen's Belfast University. However, it is not safe to go out at night. Staff in the reception are helpful but not very friendly. You need to keep asking them for further information or help.

Comments: 12 women on a 40th birthday so only really slept in the Hostel. 6 bunks in the room and it was very narrow so a little hard when all 12 of us we getting ready at the same time also only 2 plug sockets!! However, overall great value and we all agree we would definately stay in the Abbey Court again and the staff were always friendly.

Comments: water pressure strange, on again off again, but other than that, didnt expect greatness because it was a hostel, but it was comfortable and the location was fantastic! If you're just using it as a place to sleep like we did it was great.

Comments: I was lucky because my four-bed room stayed empty the three days I stayed there, but anyway, the room was very clean, the ensuited bath as well. And it is in the very centre of the town, just in the middle of everything!

Comments: I would recommend Abbey Court. The location is great and they cleaned our room daily. It was a little noisy in the morning if you left the windows open. They did not have the room available that we had reserved, as they seem to accomodate people that were already checked in before those that were yet to arrive. It was my first time in a hostel, so I don't know if this was normal, but seemed to make sense. I would stay here again.

Comments: Very spacious dorms and fantastic location. Kitchen closing at 9pm is really not an issue - it opens bright and early and you can still eat in the common room!
