Hostelworld says

The centrally located Kinlay House Dublin is just a few metres from Dublin Castle and Christchurch Cathedral, offering travellers ‘a GREAT bargain’, according to one Hostelworld guest. Many of our users cite the downstairs pub as a highlight of their stay here, with one of our visitors saying they ‘would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone, especially students, as it is awesome and in close proximity to Temple Bar and other hopping places in Dublin’, while another guest said the hostel has ‘lots of people to meet but is far enough away [from Temple Bar nightlife] to be quiet at night’.

Property Description

At Kinlay House Dublin, we have prided ourselves for over 25 years on providing the most Irish hospitality, a fantastic location in a beautiful listed building, and helping each of our guests to experience the best that Dublin has to offer. We offer clean, secure and budget accommodation, located in the legendary Temple Bar area, and are situated just minutes from Trinity College, Grafton Street and Georges Street as well as the renowned nightlife havens of Camden Street and Harcourt Street.

You will also be pleased to hear that you wont have to drag your luggage all around Dublin, as it will only cost you 12euro for a return ticket to get the number 747 bus to us from the airport to our front door!

Every guest can make the most of our free light breakfast including cereals, toast and jams/spreads, big self-catering kitchen ( this closes at 11pm), huge chill out room with a pool table, a Netflix enabled TV and plenty of space to relax in groups or in a smaller gathering. Kinlay House backs right onto a traditional Irish pub, where you can often enjoy live music or their large outdoor terrace. We also have tablets for guest use, and of course, free WIFI!

There is a free walking tour which departs from our reception every morning at 10:45! We also provide free city maps, event guides, and if that wasn't enough, our staff are very knowledgeable, multilingual and can help you find the best events and activities to enjoy whilst you stay with us.

We can offer you different types of accommodation to make the most of travelling solo, in a small gathering or a big group. This includes rooms ranging from 4 to 24 bed dormitories, including one female only dorm, and a selection of private triple, twin/double and single rooms with ensuites or shared facilities.

Was given the the wrong type of room by the hostel. The staff were incredibly unhelpful and rude when returned i to reception to ask about the room. I honestly think some of reception staff need to look for other careers because there attitude and manner about this situation could only come from lack of interest in there job and not wanting to work in customer service roll. Was told we could leave and go somewhere else if we weren't happy with room.

Pricey but great location. Could’ve been a tad cleaner but not gross. Didn’t feel as social as some other places but still good
