Dublin's Avalon House hostel is located in a majestic Victorian structure (itself a former medical school) a short walk from Temple Bar. With 281 beds, Avalon House is a big joint hostel/hotel facility. Its architectural grandeur, convenient location, and extremely professional management all make Avalon a fine budget option.
With a grungy yet bustling energy, it's an appropriate place for a youngish and carefree crowd. The common spaces teem with friendly internationals doing what friendly internationals do: checking e-mail (there's wireless internet available), drinking coffee, and flirting with those receptionist lotharios.
Avalon House is also popular among an older budget-savvy crowd.. The Avalon's street-facing cafe is popular among actual Dubliners. Hostel security is ensured by security passes and a "guests-only" hostel admission rule.
The rooms themselves are nothing to write home about. Dated décor, including blue bunk beds, neutral bedcovers and orange walls, sets what exists of the aesthetic tone. The bathrooms feature poolside-type showers, with water flow meted out in 15-second increments.
Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

About the Avalon House Hostel Dublin neighborhood
St. Stephen’s Green and the surrounding area sit adjacent to Dublin's hustle and bustle but remain quiet. This sliver of Dublin is a great place to see the ghosts of the city’s former elite, arranged as statuettes around Merrion Square. For those after a flash of green, St. Stephen’s is not the only park in the area. Iveaugh Gardens, just south, is known for its elegant stone fountains. Outside the parklands, the streets are residential and quiet. On the south side, see Georgian mansions, elementary schools and dog-walking residents. North of the Green, shopping, bars and throngs of people set the stage. The area west of St. Stephen’s also has a residential, less touristy feel. A few pubs in the area add a little life.
