The Nest Boutique Hostel offers a majority of double and twin ensuite rooms which have comfy beds, soft linen, power showers, fridges and contemporary Irish art work. Family bedrooms and dormitories are also available Probably the nicest hostel I have stayed at anywhere. Kitchen is like a commercial one, and is immaculate. Lovely covered outdoor areas to sit in...this is a hostel where I actually felt like I wanted hang out, and not just a bed for the night! The staff were all friendly, helpful and professional.
