Time Out
"This is the aristocrat of Dublin's hostels. ... It has the usual mix of bunk beds, lockers and TV rooms, but adds a heady cocktail of extras like...a restaurant and an attractive (free) sauna."

Budget
"Isaacs Hostel is a two-pearl property housed in a converted 19th-century wine vault that's within walking distance of many popular Dublin sites and is well serviced by public transportation."

Editor's Pick
"From the street, the Isaacs Hostel has an undeniable, ramshackle charm. Bright red trim pops against a well-worn exterior of brick and stone. The reception area is similarly attractive."

"Not only is this absolutely one of Dublin's best guesthouses, but it's a carefully guarded secret, known only to those who dare stay a short train ride from the city centre."

"A properly lovely B&B, ticking all the B&B boxes you'd want: a friendly family feel, a tasty breakfast, and cosy rooms, all in a beautiful ivy-clad house in the lovely seaside area of Sandymount."
