We stayed here recently and had a complaint about the hostel. The reception manager who we spoke to was rude,unhelpful and had obviously no management experience,an experience we will not repeat,it spoilt our trip.He was a small,slim Irish guy. Gabrielle and Ivan more

We used it only for sleeping and it served it's purpose. It's in a very good location, city center, close to everything. There's a city bus stop (16a) few meters away that goes straight to the airport, and they will even refund you for the ticket. The bathrooms were ok, clean, always had soap and paper, the showers are a... more

My girlfriend & I spend 2 nights there. Room: Simple: 2 beds & a washbasin. Quite small: 6m² approx! We shared the bathroom but you can book rooms with private bathroom. The rooms are not really soundproof: if your neighbour are civilized so they don't yell after midnight, they don't run in the corridor, that's OK, if they aren't civilized:... more

I always stay at Avalon when I'm in Dublin, for the price you just can't beat it. The location is fantastic, there's wireless internet, the rooms are tidy, and the staff are friendly.

We booked a private room with ensuite, it was dirty, the shower COLD and flooded the entire room when it was on, the beds were horrible and had dirty old covers. We were annoyed as friends also stayed there and booked after us but had a better room. I ended up using the shared showers as they were warmer. Breakfast... more

The staff that checked me in were very nice and helpful about a snafu that had happened with my reservation. They made sure that I had a bed for the night and provided a locker gratis for me to use while we sorted it out. I would stay again. Also, it was quiet at night when I came in from... more
