2-Star Hotels in County Dublin, Ireland

Management does not reply email requests, unfortunately. I asked to receive a refund or date change for a room shared booking as I needed a private room such day and did not receive an answer :-(

I only have this one photo, but overall I had a good experience with the accommodation. One of the best things about this place is the privacy. Each bed has curtains, so you don’t really have to worry about people seeing you. It made changing clothes very convenient, and I rarely had to make eye contact with others, which is perfect if you’re more introverted. There’s also a light inside the bed area, so you can read before going to sleep, and hooks for hanging clothes, which was useful for items I wore often. In addition, there are personal lockers that can only be opened with a code, which felt secure. The bathroom was also relatively clean. However, the overall quality really depends on the people you end up sharing the space with. It was a bit disappointing to see how much the experience can vary. One night, I heard some strange noises from other guests, which made me feel quite uncomfortable and a bit scared. If you’re lucky with the people around you, this place can be very satisfying. My first night was great, but the second night was not as pleasant due to some inconsiderate behavior from other guests.

I had a really positive stay at Gardiner House Hostel — a clean, friendly, and well-located choice for budget travellers in Dublin. 📍 Location The location is excellent — just a short walk from major bus stops, shops, cafés, and walking distance to many central Dublin attractions like Temple Bar, Trinity College, and the Liffey bridges. It made exploring the city super convenient without having to rely on public transport. 🛏 Accommodation & Rooms The rooms were tidy and functional with adequate storage space. Beds were comfortable for a hostel stay, and the linens were fresh. Shared bathroom facilities were kept clean throughout my visit. The staff were friendly and helpful. Considering Dublin can be expensive, Gardiner House Hostel offers excellent value — affordable, clean, and centrally located.

The location is really convenient. I have stayed in female rooms for 4 people and 10 people. The bathroom is inside the room which is very convenient. Just next to the Banfen Bridge, the airport bus, Dart train station, Holy Trinity, and Tesco are nearby! It's simply super convenient. The bar street is a bit noisy at the back, but it doesn't matter anymore The kitchen is so convenient and convenient for cooking! Would stay again and recommend to others!

A decent women's dorm with curtains, though the sink was a bit clogged and dirty, and no one cleaned it. The booking was clear. I wouldn't dare book a mixed-gender dorm, though, as that only seems to be for foreigners, haha! But the people there were very polite; everyone would give a 'WeChat' or 'Hi' when you met them. Strangers would also help if you asked for directions, which I really appreciated! However, when it comes to money, I feel like it's the same everywhere. I didn't know I needed a ticket to the castle, and I only had 8 pounds left, just enough for the bus. They didn't accept Visa, and without cash, the person just told me to go away! Transportation there is like in China; you can't use Visa, but it's cheaper than in the UK for buses. Glasgow has the most expensive bus fares. For shopping, most chain stores accept Visa, which is convenient. Otherwise, carrying cash is heavy, and those coins are a pain. Youth hostels in London weren't as good; no curtains, and it seemed like a lot of people in one room. I didn't look too closely, so it wasn't clear. Hotels in Ireland are too expensive, so this was an experience, I guess, haha!

旅館很乾凈，第一次住青旅，很安靜氛圍很平靜，早飯吃的飽飽的，旅館位置超級好，旁邊的酒吧超級大，有個大舞台氛圍超好

A lovely stay. Very friendly staff and comfy bed. Some issues with cleanliness (bathroom tiles are broken and damp behind them, dirty carpet). But there was coffee machine provided, nice shower and it is an easy walk into the centre.

I so much loved the lodge, it was so very clean, the location was so easy as it is just few minutes walk from the Dublin city center, the most amazing part is that the airport bus 41 stops right in front ot the Abbott Lodge so using google map is also very easy. The service is top notch and the reception is 247. Room so clean and the bed is big even with extra bed for kids.
