Stayed for two nights in May and found the experience rather strange. Nothing wrong with the hostel, just I have very scant and historic usage if such premises so I am a little out of touch. Booked through the tourist office 10 mins before I walked in, 40 euros for two nights with breakfast. Reception staff were friendly and it... more

We spent a short holiday in Ireland and decided to stay in Isaacs hostel because of the great location. The hostel is beside the central bus station and 5 min from the train station so we could get the bus or the train to make day trips. I would recommend to go the coast by train, it's beautiful! We stayed... more

Was clean enough, but a bit rundown - didn't matter too much as we didn't spend much time there. Showers are a bit cramped (changing area would be nice) and are not designed for anyone above 5ft 4 who wants to wash their hair! Downstairs and reception area were nice, as was the little courtyard at the side. Most of... more

I stayed there for 5 nights,starting 28th of February. First impression when checking in was awful!!! A so busy hostel has to have an efficient computer system in operation, but Isaac's doesn't! Printer didn't work properly,receptionist tried 3 times to print out my receipts, but failed as printer was crap. She had to print a different receipt for every night... more

I stayed in Isaacs for two nights and had a great time. The staff were really friendly and helpful, gave us great tips on where to go out! The atmosphere was electric in both the main reception and the hang out area in the basement, got to meet lots of other travellers. Facilities are a bit old and basic but... more

Isaacs hostel is located in the centre of the city beside the bus and train station. The location couldn't be better, the bus from the airport stops right out side so it is very handy. The hostel is basic but it was the cheapest in town and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We found a great Irish bar... more
