We’re Dublin’s only YHA and Hostelling International member and the only hostel in Dublin to win the prestigious HI-Quality Award.

Established 75 years ago, we’re located at the start of the St Patrick’s Day parade route, with free breakfast, free car parking and free Wi-Fi.

We have ensuite private rooms and dorms, all with lockers in the room. Our continental breakfast is included in the price.

Our features include self-catering and recycling facilities, conference and meeting rooms, a book exchange (take one, leave one!) and bicycle storage. Our games room is open 24hrs and features a TV as well as games available to hire.

If you’re driving we offer a free private car park for both coach and car.

From reception, you can take advantage of discounted rates on tours and attractions all over Dublin city and beyond, as well as towel hire and international phone cards and phones. Our friendly staff are happy to help and can even reserve you a room in any of our 27 Irish hostels of our 6000 HI hostels worldwide!

We’re located just four minutes’ walk from Dublin city centre and there’s no curfew, so you can come and go as you please. As if this wasn’t enough, you can also use our outside garden area!

Dublin International Youth Hostels building has, in its time, been a convent, a church and a school for the community and still bears the marks of these times. Perhaps the most obvious example is the old nuns’ chapel which has been converted into a restaurant.

Please note that children under the age of 16 years cannot be in the dormitory rooms. Families must choose private rooms for sole use if travelling with children under 16years of age - please contact the hostel if unsure.
