Come to Kinlay House in the heart of Dublin: the perfect base for exploring (and partying) in this historic city. For tips on what not to miss, ask our friendly staff at our 24-hour reception: they’ll point out the best spots. We’ll welcome you with authentic Irish hospitality, and even give you a free breakfast every morning. To get the full Dublin experience, spend an evening in the traditional pub that backs onto our hostel. For a quieter night in, chat or watch Netflix in our chill-out room.

Location

You’ll find us in a listed building in the famous Temple Bar neighbourhood: a ten-minute walk from Trinity College and a short hop from the buzz of Grafton Street and Camden Street. The airport’s half an hour away by bus, which stops, conveniently, outside our door. Up for a pub crawl? You’re in the right place. Our local area is packed with places to eat and drink, see some live music or dance late into the night.

Rooms and Dorms

Rest your head in our clean mixed dorms and wake up ready to make the most of Dublin. We have female-only dorms too, and private rooms with en-suites – perfect for couples and groups travelling with under-18s. Have a lie-in on your last day with our late check-out option and stick your luggage in our storage room so you can explore hands-free. Thanks to keycard access, 24-hour security and safety deposit boxes, you can be sure your belongings are secure.

Extras and activities

Free Wi-Fi makes it easy to plan your days and post your highlights: no roaming needed! Grab free maps and event guides from reception to discover Dublin or join us on our free daily walking tour to get your bearings and find inspiration. When you fancy eating in, shop for supplies in our useful mini-supermarket and make yourself at home in the self-catering kitchen. Pick up snacks or a cuppa from the vending machines and café before starting up a pool session.
