Hostels in Ireland were once thought of as accommodation only suitable for those travelling on a budget, namely students and backpackers. You’d see dormitories sleeping up to 20 people and with only one shower / bathroom to accommodate all these guests.

Nowadays thing are different. Irish Hostels are suitable for all types of visitor. Most hostels now have private and ensuite facilities as well as shared. You’ll find that in Ireland hostels are pleasant, simple and basic, with mandatory services and facilities. Staff are friendly and can give good advise about what to do and see. Irish hostels normally have a great atmosphere and it’s always very easy to meet new friends in them.
