Located across the street from Christ Church Cathedral and Dublin Castle, the Kinlay House is one well-placed hostel, offering budget beds within minutes of the rollicking Temple Bar scene.
The hostel's friendly staff makes up for the basic accommodation, with 200 beds divvied up into everything from singles to 24-bedded dorms. They're generally fresh and well-kept, though not equipped with much more than beds. Some rooms (mostly the smaller ones) provide private facilities.
The Kinlay House's lovely brick building was constructed in the 1860s as a trade school for country boys...and to this day, the students just keep coming! Grand 19th-century touches, such as sweeping staircases and high wood-beamed ceilings make you appreciate Ireland's strict preservation laws.

About the Kinlay House neighborhood
Looking for a hood with a little history? Located south of the Liffey, the area around Christ Church Cathedral, with its cobblestone streets and imposing architecture, is a great place to start. The cathedral itself, certainly one of Dublin’s top tourist draws, has been around since the 11th century. The present-day version has gone through a number of changes, including a late 19th-century “Victorianization,” and it’s still stunning. The finely manicured church grounds attract lounging locals and tourists alike during the summer months. In addition, Dublin Castle, the not-really-a-castle castle from which the British ruled until 1922, is just around the corner. And, of course, the there’s the Guinness Brewery (a house of worship to some) further west along the river.
