"It’s a smoothly run, great value-for-the-money operation, situated on a quiet Victorian street...simple guest rooms are tastefully decorated in earthy oatmeal or cream with brocade-pattern bedspreads."

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."

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."
