Frommer's "Fashion fans will have no trouble pegging the design of this trendy hotel as the work of the uber-cool John Rocha." Full review
Concierge "While some hotels would sit back and bask in the glory of their success, this is the kind of place that prefers to keep one step ahead of the crowd."
Insight Guides "With its contemporary styling, the Morrison vies with the Clarence for the title of most media-hip hotel in town."
Time Out "The comfortable rooms plead to be enjoyed, with Egyptian-cotton bed linen and the sheer decadence of Portuguese limestone in the bathrooms." Full review

"The riverfront location in central Dublin is superb, with most of the city center within walking distance. Rooms also have an uber-modern aesthetic." Full review
Star Service "This is one of Dublin's newest, and only, hip design hotels, and the Doubletree tradition of warm cookies at check-in is an added perk." Full review

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

"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

"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
