The staff is very friendly and the hostel itself is ok, in a good location for travelers walking distance from the touristic areas of the city. First problem detected there the hot water doesn't work at night, and taking a shower was a bad experience, the shower head is very close to the wall and water basically runs on on... More

Stayed a night and didn't get much sleep, there was no sound proofing between my room and the one above so I heard EVERYTHING! People were playing dance music till after 12.30am then they decided to have sex about 2am, I didn't get to sleep till after 4am and I had to be up at 7am. The hostel is clean,... More

A very very small (only one could stand) private twin room with toilet and shower (not too fresh smelling) way down the hall. In the room a sink that has push buttons that you have to really hard push again every 10 seconds. A very basic breakfast in a nice breakfast cafe, where they tease you with extras that you... More

I stayed at Avalon House in Dublin, Ireland for one night during the week of March 11-15, 2013. I was only in Ireland for two days as a side trip during my one week trip to England from Toronto. I chose this place because the fee per night for a private room for a single traveler was very reasonable and... More

Good location, nice kitchen, the place was clean in general, some of the staff could have been friendlier, beds quite uncomfortable. Not sure if I would stay there again, mainly because I didn't sleep very well, think it was also due to the location of the room, which was right next to a busy street and every night I could...

Although I thought that the accommodations were nice my experience was ruined by the staff there, not so much the front desk but particularly the housekeeping. I had paid for late checkout at 1:00, and I arrived at 1:10 and rushed to my room. While I realize I came a little late, when I got to my room my things... More

Avalon was in an excellent location to everything. The service was mainly excellent, great rates and free breakfast. Although everything isnt perfect when you stay at a hostel we had no complaints and would certainly come back. Thanks again

Stayed her for 4 days after a tour of ireland. Small room for four of us, and rather unfriendly staff I found (stayed at hostels all around, and these people were the least friendly/charismatic). The bathroom near our room (a luxury) had a characteristically clogged toilet and the light didn't work (took a couple days of telling them to see... More

I had an amazing experience at this hostel! I have stayed in a handful of hostels in different parts of the world, and this is, without a doubt, my favorite experience. I stayed here for 6 days on my own. Originally, I was going to stay for a week, but weather conditions delayed my flight to Dublin. I called the... More
