"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."

"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."

"The Neo-Classical facade dates from 1863. Mahogany, brass and marble furnishings give it the feel of a gentleman’s club."
Time Out
"The lobby is nice enough, as are the guest rooms (even if they won't conform to everyone's idea of chic interior design), and the location is suitably swanky."

"The Davenport competes well, however, and has earned its fair share of loyal repeaters over two decades of refined service. "

"Housed within the old Merrion Hall, which was built in 1863 for the Plymouth Brethren, this is a solid business hotel with large rooms equipped with orthopaedic beds and big bathrooms."
