Avalon House International Hostel Review

Many young, independent travelers rate this cleverly restored redbrick Victorian medical school, a five-minute walk southwest from Grafton Street and 5 to 10 minutes from some of the city's best music venues, the most appealing of Dublin's hostels. Avalon House has a mix of dormitories, rooms without bath, and rooms with bath. The dorm rooms and en-suite quads all have loft areas that offer more privacy than you'd typically find in a multi-bed room. The public spaces have pine floors, high ceilings, and even an open fire. Their Bald Barista café has one of the best espressos in the city.
