CChithira JojoI 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.
KKloiaI 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.
GGuest UserThe hotel is in the city center. It's a 10-minute walk from the Dublin Express airport bus stop. There are many bus options nearby to get to other attractions, and most Galway tour group meeting points are also in this area. The bathrooms and showers are very clean, and the staff cleans them frequently. The only downside is that accommodation prices in Dublin are generally very expensive.
RRaymondIyenI 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.
GGuest UserGreat experience. The room was clean and smells good when we arrived. They provided the toiletries, utensils, and they have washing machine, tumble dryer, water kettle, and microwave. They have almost what you need. They are very accommodating, and responsive. The location wasn’t too far from all places that we went. We’ll recommend this hotel.
GGuest UserThe hotel is right next to a bar that plays music and has live bands until 2.30am. Our room was on the first floor the side of this, it was not good after a long travel day. The hotel itself was a good location and clean, if you’re going for nightlife I recommend, if you’re going for day drinking and a good nights sleep steer clear!
GGuest UserManagement 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 :-(
YYosshy123A reasonably comfortable inn among several hostels in Dublin. The dormitory bed has curtains and is convenient for sleeping in a capsule hotel-like specification. The nearby toilet was discontinued and I had to go to another floor, but it was inconvenient, but it was a good inn for saving the inn.
GGuest UserI think it is a very common hostel. It was good because I bought ingredients at the supermarket to save food costs and was able to cook. It was good that everyone was cleaning well after eating. The location is good, but when you enter the back street, it feels like the police are watching, so I think it's a good idea to walk only on the main street. Thank you very much.
