Located across the street from Christ Church Cathedral and the Dublin Castle, the Kinlay House is one well-placed hostel, offering budget beds within minutes of the rollicking Temple Bar scene.
The hostel's facilities are basic, 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 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, high wood-beamed ceilings (in older rooms), and a TV parlor that looks out over Christ Church make you appreciate Ireland?s strict preservation laws.
