Four Courts Hostel Reviews - Dublin

The Four Courts is located right in the heart of central Dublin, on the Liffey. It's the first hostel I ever stayed in so it really stands out in my mind. It has a lounge, a dining area, nice kitchen, and many rooms. I'll admit that I was a little overwhelmed by the fact that I was in Europe, but the staff (with their Irish accents!) were really nice and shortly after I checked in I met several neat people from all over the globe. By that evening, our whole floor had met each other and we all went out to one of the pubs down the street, where we drank, sang and danced to the wee hours of the morning! Anyway, it's a hostel geared toward people in the 20's, so you'll find lots of people to hang out with.

i stayed at the four courts hostel for the better part of the two weeks i spent in dublin. i found it to be a great place to stay, with a pretty good location - just a short walk to temple bar district. there are also a few grocery stores within a short distance.

the staff was friendly, helpful, and understanding. the prices were reasonable, and the facilities more than adequate. it had a large kitchen with everything you would need to prepare a meal and plenty of fridge space to store your leftovers. i stayed in both ensuite and traditional dorm rooms, and all of them had the typical bunk bed setup you come to expect. one problem was that there were not enough cages underneath the beds for everyone in the room.

their breakfast was decent but nothing great - toast, cereal, coffee. they had a reading room downstairs, along with a tv room and a pool table. they do have internet availible, but it was quite expensive. there was no self service laundry, but the staff would do it overnight for five euros i believe it was.

all in all it was a great experience and i will definitely be looking into staying at the four courts hostel when i am back in dublin.

the four courts was fun. fat-boy slim played continuously in the hallways, there's a huge spiral staircase with fun cartoon fact murals on the wall as you head up/down it, a big kitchen, big areas to hang out, a pool table, and helpful staff. first hostel i ever stayed in europe and it was a great one. would definitely stay again.
