"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." Full review

"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." Full review

"This modern, architecturally uninspired Best Western Plus hotel is centrally located just off O'Connell Street and offers lots of comfort at an affordable, slightly unfashionable-neighborhood price." Full review

"Only a few steps from O'Connell St, this solidly three-star hotel is part of the Best Western group and as such offers the kind of comfortable, if unmemorable, night's sleep associated with the brand." Full review
