Whether you’re keen to socialise in a shared dorm or are on a budget break with a group of mates, Abrahams has a room to suit. Located in a restored Georgian townhouse, the cheery dormitories, decorated with bold and colourful wallpaper, range from cosy four-person rooms to spacious areas with 16 bunks. Each has an en suite with a shower (several showers in the larger ones) as well as Wi-Fi and plenty of plug sockets. If you’re travelling solo, with friends or a partner and want your own space, you’re in luck. The private single, doubles and triples give you just that, plus a wardrobe and a bathroom with towels.
Downstairs in the communal kitchen, you can cook up a storm (or heat up a microwave meal), make yourself a cup of tea and munch on midnight snacks from the vending machines. Every morning, there’s also a buffet breakfast of cereals, toast, jams and fruit juice.
Join the hostel’s walking tour to explore Dublin’s sights, such as Trinity College Dublin and Grafton Street, both about 10 minutes by foot away. As well as guiding you around the city by day, the staff will also point you in the right direction when it comes to bars with their nightly pub crawls. Or, if you want to go it alone, you’re only a 10 minute walk from the cobbled streets of lively Temple Bar.
