Reviews for Backpackers

Emmanuelle
Good welcome, staff available and accommodating. Special mention to the night watchman, very warm. Clean dorms and comfortable beds. Noise level at a minimum, whether it is noise from the street, and from the corridors. Impeccable toilets. Small flat for the hair dryer in the female collective sanitary facilities which did not work. Full and inexpensive breakfast, but you have to come early. Fair prices in general. Small grocery store nearby. Very well located, slightly outside the center, in a renovated and pleasant area. Luas Red Line (tramway) a stone's throw away to quickly reach the center, otherwise 20 min on foot max. Also close to Heuston Station, to catch a South Westbound train. We highly recommend.

Welcome to Dublin

What’ll it be? Pint of the black stuff? There’s no denying it – a lot of people who book a Dublin hostel are in it for the craic. Famous for its best-in-the-world Guinness (well, the brewery is around the corner) its talkative locals, its traditional pubs and its huge student population, this is a hell of a place for a lost weekend. Or week. Or month. You get the idea. But as you stagger out of your hostel dorm and the fog of the night before clears, you’ll find yourself in a potted history of Ireland: Viking relics, winding medieval streets and elegant Georgian squares with brightly-painted doors. Plus, of course, all the shopping, culture and great grub you’d expect from a thriving modern capital. Sound good? Then check out the range of hostels: cheap hostels, backpacker-friendly hostels, city centre hostels, downtown hostels – take your pick and get booking. We’ll be waiting at the bar.

Dun Laoghaire Regatta

Leave the dorm behind and head to picturesque Dublin bay to catch four days of racing. Irish and international teams battle it out on the water, and there’s plenty of entertainment on shore too. The event takes place from the 9th – 12th July 2015.

The heart of the Dublin experience. Situated around the River Liffey, the area provides excellent eating and nightlife options as well as great shopping - particularly on the bustling Grafton Street, just south of Trinity College grounds.

Avoid St Patrick’s Day

However tantalising Saint Patrick’s Day in Dublin is, it can be an expensive time to travel. If you’re looking to get the best deal it’s probably best to book your hostel another time of the year.

Airports Dublin Airport is where you’ll arrive if you fly to the city. It’s an international airport, offering links to the rest of Ireland too, and it’s only 5.4 miles from the city centre. The AirLink 747 and Aircoach line 700 bus services will take you to the city centre and its hostels for €6-€7. If you’re able to spend a bit more, there are taxi ranks outside both terminals. Rail There are two major train stations in Dublin. There’s Connolly Station, located to the north of the city centre, and there’s Dublin Heuston. It’s a bit further from the centre of town and it serves the south and west of the city, and provides rail links to the rest of the country. Bus Backpackers travelling by bus arrive at busaras (Central Bus Station) in the heart of the city. It offers intercity and regional bus services and it’s easy to walk into the city centre from this location. You can reach the airport from here too. Getting around On most inner city buses you’ll need coins to pay your fare. Most drivers won’t have change for bank notes. Consider the trams too – the Red Line will carry you past some of the city’s loveliest landmarks.
