Guests at the hostel will be able to enjoy activities in and around Mountmellick, like hiking and cycling. It was a very cool experience staying in the Forum Mountmellick. The bedrooms were very clean and the beds super comfy. The kids loved the bunk beds. The power in the showers was super. The renovated church, kitchen and eating areas were all fantastic and there was a lovely calm and relaxed atmosphere throughout the accommodation. Our host Colette was extremely welcoming and a great source of information about the local area. The accommodation is a great base to visit loads of really great attractions in Loais and there are some lovely takeaways in the town too, so you can bring dinner back and enjoy in the Forum. Overall our stay was fantastic and we would highly recommend staying at the Forum Mountmellick.

A 25-minute drive from Dublin, the Maynooth Campus Accommodation includes high-quality rooms with free Wi-Fi and private parking on site. The campus is just a 1-minute walk from Maynooth Castle and 10 minutes from the train station. A gorgeous castle, well suited for people who have work in or around Maynooth. I was there at the university - for a short visit. Lots of wonderful food options and very close to the university. The rooms have high ceilings and are very clean.

In the heart of Dublin, Abbey Court is the best located hostel on O’Connell Bridge. Come enjoy a €5.50 pint of Guiness in our bar after a day of taking in the nearby sites of Dublin, you won't find a cheaper pint of Guiness elsewhere! It is absolutely in the center, everything can be reached on foot. Breakfast is also a big plus. And the staff does a great job! Absolutely recommended for young people.

Just a 5-minute walk from Dublin’s lively Temple Bar entertainment district, this modern purpose-built hostel offers affordable accommodation within the very heart of the city. It specialises in group hostel accommodation for schools, universities and low-budget tours to Dublin. Staff was nice, you can find a lot of guests spending time in the hall talking with each other or playing games, even late in the evening. There is a big café area which seemed nice, but I didn't use because I had my own food: you can indeed have your own food to consume in the Chill-out room or on the rooftop on the fourth floor. The room I stayed in was a 10 pods room: it was very quiet and very clean: even the bed/bed sheets and the bathroom were very clean. Every bed has its own hanger for a jacket, shoe rack and locker with an electronic lock on which you can set your own passcode; the lockers are very spacious: I could fit my 20x25x40cm bag, shoes, clothes and jacket and it still had plenty of space left. There are a few electrical outlets in the room, but not inside the pods: inside the pod there are two different kind of lights, two small hangers, a place to rest smaller items and a USB 2.0 outlet for charging your phone. The pod itself was very spacious, taller than expected: I could stay sitted without having to bend my back. The hostel itself is a about 20 meters away from a Luas (the Tram) stop and about 200 meters from a train station Overall the place was very nice, 100% would come back
