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

Although St. Stephen's Green is definitely less noisy than Temple Bar, you may want to ask for a room on one of the upper floors.
