Hops is in the air at the Brewery Hostel. The Brewery is, after all, located next door to the world famous Guinness Storehouse, and about 10 minutes from the Temple Bar district.

The friendly Brewery is, in Dublin terms, a small hostel, with only 100 beds divided into rooms sleeping two, three, four, eight, and ten. Each room has its own private bathroom. Furnishings are simple, though the furniture in some of the doubles seems particularly cramped and tired. Most ceilings are high, and the old windows to the street are large and double paned to cut down on the noise.

Thee private facilities are less impressive than the rooms, and, though a bit tight, they still aren't as tiny as most hostel bathrooms we've seen. They feature normal-sized sinks with regular faucets (no push-button madness!), fresh tiles, and new showers.

The Brewery has its share of history, too. Built in the 18th century as a residence, it once gave shelter to Irish rebel John Edward Fitzgerald. Later, in the late 19th century, the home was converted into a library that housed books and, depending on whom you believe, Fitzgerald's ghost.
