If being in the middle of the Temple Bar tourist action is your bag, then the Oliver St. John Gogarty hostel has your beds—137 of them to be exact. Named after one of Dublin's most famous historical figures, this Fleet Street hostel, which used to be a bank, is now cashing in on the backpacker and budget traveler vibe.
Despite its boisterous and touristy location—Anglesea Street is about 10 feet away—the Oliver St. John is surprisingly quiet. Sturdy pine floors and thick stone walls keep the lobby calm, and the rooms, some of which were formerly vaults, offer an unexpected respite from the action outdoors.
The dorm rooms sleep two to 10 guests (all rooms have a private bathroom). There are lockers to secure your goodies, but you'll need to provide your own lock. If you require even more space or if you hate eating out for every meal, the Oliver St. John also rents one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments on the top floor that come with a living room and kitchen.
Hostellers are served a continental breakfast (included in the price) at the superb Oliver St. John's restaurant and bar next door. The venue, which shares a name with the hostel, has live Irish music seven nights a week.

About the Oliver St. John Gogarty neighborhood
Bars, crowds, drinks, Irish music, bars, beer, pubs, drinks, Irish music, more people, more pubs. This is the place where tourists party in Dublin. Young and loud, Temple Bar is a raging place. Just south of the River Liffey and just west of the road leading to O’Connell Street, the Temple Bar area is smack-dab in the center of the action. Trinity College is just east of the expansive bar scene.
