  LOL. I believe you mean hostel ?

  If so, then erm…no. It depends on your budget and what your level of expected accommodation is. If you don’t mind ruffing it, then go for it.

  The Four Courts hostel in the city centre is nice.
  All of Dublin is worth seeing really, I’d recommend just walking around the city and soaking it up maybe take in a few museums and the Guinness Storehouse. Get out to Howth on the Dart if you can for fish and chips.
  If you wanna head out down the country I’d recommend Kilkenny or Galway.

  there are a few cheap hotels in dublin, days hotel is one, grafton street is popular with tourists, as is henry street to see the street traders is a novelty, kilkenny, wexford and waterford are good places to visit, i love the country dublin is great but too commercialised, country people more friendly too, enjoy your stay with us.

  There’s a group called an Oige (it’s gaelic for The Youth) who run hostels ( for everyone) all over Ireland. They could help you with all aspects of your stay.

  You havent really said what you’re interested in but Dublin isn’t that big so you should get to see most of what you want! Be sure to find an old dindgy traditional pub to have a pint in – ie. don’t just hit the tourist ones!

  Enjoy your stay! : D

  I think a good place to start is a site like hostelworld.com. That way you can compare what you want from a hostel and what you pay for it. Aside from that I agree with another response that the Four Courts is pretty good. It’s a little bit of a hike along the Liffey from Temple Bar, but you may prefer that. I stayed there and it was fine. Places like Barnacles or Oliver St.John Gogarty’s are very central, but too much so – I’m guessing it would be pretty noisy. Although I haven’t stayed in Avalon House, it’s location is nice because it’s a little ways off of Temple Bar, but still within walking distance of the Liffey. More importantly, it’s on the way to Wexford and Camden Streets(10 or 15 min walk) which have a number of great bars(ex. Whelan’s, The Village) to go to for some fun and few, if any, tourists.

  I don’t know if you have much time in Ireland, but getting out of Dublin for a few days is really worth it. I love Dublin, but the countryside is fantastic as well. My top recommendations are Galway City Connemara, as well as Donegal.

  Whatever you do, I know you’ll have a great time there!

  Try ‘hostel’, you’ll have much better luck.

  Dublin is good for a day, maybe two. Otherwise see the real Ireland out west ….

  If you’re looking for a good time than do go to Dublin. The most beautiful part of Ireland is in the west, Connemara in County Galway. It depends on what you want.

  Have a nice trip!

  Dont expect to go home with a tan
