Excellent service and very clean facility also superb staffs.
Location is excellent in the centre of the city. Hostel is massive, spread across several buildings which do and don’t intersect. There’s a big kitchen, but it’s actually small for the number of people. There’s kitchen closes at 10:30pm and after that there’s no access to water, kettle, your own food… Since the kitchen is in the basement and not close to any rooms… It’s a strange and frustrating approach and it doesn’t open again until the morning. So if you want some food or tea/coffee before an early flight you’re out of luck. Closing the kitchen that early means there’s little socialising in the two large lounges… And if you want to work, there’s nothing to drink… The en-suite bathrooms are small, shower water pressure is ok. WiFi was very hit and miss. There are serious problems with their booking system and security- a fifth person (a man) arrived in our four bed room at 2am and tried to get into a couple of the already occupied beds (including a sleeping woman). It was innocently done as he assumed one bed was empty… but it easily could have been very dangerous… Abbey Court lives and thrives on its location, but it has lots of quirks that make it a frustrating and unfriendly place to stay.
The location is just awesome. It's close to everything, including the airport buses. The breakfast is best in all the hostels I stayed in. The only comment I have is that I wish there were some more " keep quiet " reminders in the rooms.
Pros: Clean, private ensuite in a 4-storey annex building. Very convenient central location for pubs, dining, shopping and train/airport departures. Free continental breakfast helpful to start the day. A less overpriced summer option in Dublin. Cons: no elevator in annex building, not a good idea for those with lots of luggages. No hot kettle or coffee/tea amenities in room meant you need to walk ALL the way down to the main hostel area next door, down to the basement kitchen and wrestle with all other dorm residents to boil water and make a cup of tea/coffee using the one and ONLY hot water kettle there (first ever for a large hostel). Then walk back up 4 floors. No hairdryers in room - loaning one from reception required ID deposit, so you need to remember to bring it back with all your luggages upon check-out, otherwise goodbye ID. Understand theft concerns but there are ways to provide amenities like hot water and hairdryer without inconveniencing guests in the private annex. E.g. mini annex kitchen, hot water dispenser at alternate annex floors, fixed wall hairdryers in ensuite bathrooms or at each floor lobby.
“First timer”
The building is really neat with lots of art everywhere, several options for social areas, but it is a bit confusing. They have good signage everywhere, but it's still easy to get lost for a sec or two
