The Abbey Court is located right off the O'Connell Bridge on Bachelor's Walk, which runs along the River Liffey. Thus, the Abbey is just across the water from the Temple Bar area and a five-minute walk from Trinity College. But this hostel has more than just a perfect location. It's a notch above the grungy hostel competition.
During our last visit (autumn 2005), both families and students were populating the Abbey, which has 33 tidy en suite rooms in addition to its 235 dorm beds (sheets included). Rooms sleep from two to 10 people. Those staying in the dorms can borrow locks and store valuables in drawers beneath their beds. Continental breakfast is included in the price. And there's laundry service, Internet station, and a restaurant serving lunch all onsite.
We couldn't find a reason not to like the Abbey Court. Well, OK, there is one reason: rooms always seem to be fully booked. Why could that be?
