Time Out "This is the aristocrat of Dublin's hostels. ... It has the usual mix of bunk beds, lockers and TV rooms, but adds a heady cocktail of extras like...a restaurant and an attractive (free) sauna." Full review
Let's Go "There seem to be a million hostels near Gardiner Street, but this is the one that you want to stay at." Full review

"Isaacs Hostel is a two-pearl property housed in a converted 19th-century wine vault that's within walking distance of many popular Dublin sites and is well serviced by public transportation." Full review
EuroCheapo Editor's Pick
"From the street, the Isaacs Hostel has an undeniable, ramshackle charm. Bright red trim pops against a well-worn exterior of brick and stone. The reception area is similarly attractive." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"Isaacs does urban accommodation very well indeed: a prime location in the city centre, a quirky and historic character, and a buzzing and friendly atmosphere ensure that it stands out among Dublin hostels." Full review

"The north-side's best hostel – hell, for atmosphere alone it's the best in town – is in a 200-year-old wine vault just around the corner from the main bus station." Full review

Michelin Guide "Smart, boutique-style townhouse hidden down a backstreet... Experienced owner keeps a keen eye over proceedings."
Frommer's "This sophisticated, trendy hotel isn't for everybody, but those who love it, love it." Full review
Concierge "You can't fault the location of the comfortable, efficient four-star Brooks Hotel."
Time Out "The rather cramped guest rooms of this sophisticated hotel on Drury Street feature dark purple and muted gold colour schemes that will look lovely to some, tacky to others." Full review
Star Service "Besides a prime location, this place benefits from stylish guest quarters, a great little restaurant and a caring staff." Full review

Ask for one of the dozen Classic rooms that just received a renovation to a more modern style.
Fodor's "Public spaces and the bar are a warm and cozy refuge from temperamental Irish weather, with leather chairs, high-veneer oak paneling, and decorative bookcases." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "This Dublin hotel offers guests a number of luxe amenities—including an on-site cinema—but for spirits fans, the whiskey tastings at the Jasmine Bar are a sure bet." Full review
Afar Magazine "Try a night cap- Red Breast 12 at the Brooks Hotel, piano playing, great atmosphere." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"Family-run Brooks offers something rare and valuable – a stylish and truly snug refuge from the world." Full review
Independent "Considering the reasonable enough room rates, there’s a real sense of individualised attention to detail at the Brooks Hotel"
