Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

Guests at the hostel will be able to enjoy activities in and around Mountmellick, like hiking and cycling. It was a very cool experience staying in the Forum Mountmellick. The bedrooms were very clean and the beds super comfy. The kids loved the bunk beds. The power in the showers was super. The renovated church, kitchen and eating areas were all fantastic and there was a lovely calm and relaxed atmosphere throughout the accommodation. Our host Colette was extremely welcoming and a great source of information about the local area. The accommodation is a great base to visit loads of really great attractions in Loais and there are some lovely takeaways in the town too, so you can bring dinner back and enjoy in the Forum. Overall our stay was fantastic and we would highly recommend staying at the Forum Mountmellick.

There is secure 24-hour parking next to the hostel, where guests can receive discounted rates. Amazing staff, super clean and the best location if you go for pub's journey ( it could be noisy cause it's above the pubs)

In the heart of Dublin, Abbey Court is the best located hostel on O’Connell Bridge. Come enjoy a €5.50 pint of Guiness in our bar after a day of taking in the nearby sites of Dublin, you won't find a cheaper pint of Guiness elsewhere! Amazing place to stay when you are on budget. Rooms are simple but with everything you need (for a better stay don't forget to bring your own lock to keep your things safe in the provided closets, but you can also buy one here). Breakfast is simple yet has a variety of options to satisfy your taste. Staff is awesome! Warm welcome is guaranteed and they do their best to keep you social. We got just on time for ping pong tournament organized by Thran and it was super nice and fun! Sad that our stay was not long enough to participate in other events they organize here (movie nights, scavenger hunt, musical bingo, and more) They also offered a great deal for pub crawling - you definitely have to try it - they know how to make your stay fun and show you around nice places! The location is the gem on it's own and what made us choose it on the first place, but the atmosphere and welcoming people made our stay really great.

Just a 5-minute walk from Dublin’s lively Temple Bar entertainment district, this modern purpose-built hostel offers affordable accommodation within the very heart of the city. It specialises in group hostel accommodation for schools, universities and low-budget tours to Dublin. Good location, value for money, clean and comfortable. We did not have breakfast there, or take part in activities, but it is nice they have it all there.
