"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 small, traditional four-story hotel—a series of five bricked Georgian town houses—holds plenty of old-fashioned historic charm, at least in the public areas." Full review

Room 100 is worth requesting for its spaciousness, but its hearth is merely ornamental.
