“alright I guess”

Abraham House

3 of 5 stars
Maidenhead, United Kingdom
Jul 23, 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

Reasonable hostel accommodation. Wasn't perfect but then with a hostel you do not expect perfect. The shower was falling off the wall a little and it could do with a lick of paint. However the accommodation was clean, staff helpful and atmosphere friendly. They also have free internet which was useful. Breakfast was basic but filling and finished quite late (10am), useful if you've been out the night before.

However, Dublin itself was not quite what I expected. The city is seriously filthy, there is garbage everywhere, the streets can't have been given a good pressure wash for years. Quite disgusting. The city is also jammed with traffic and fumes. The people are very friendly though and a trip to the Guinness storehouse is worth it. Just take note that the bar at the top closes at 6pm pronto if, like us, you were hoping to enjoy an early evening pint of Guinness there.

It was a pleasant trip but I won't be going back to Dublin any time soon.

“great little place”

Abraham House

Jul 14, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

We stayed here or one night and found i totally satisfactory. the room we stayed in was clean. there was a tv and kettle, although it did smell rather mouldy. The shower and bathroom was clean and the beds were comfy. Had to go down loads of corridors. The one good thing about this hostel was the staff, they were really really friendly and sometimes i think this can make or break ur holiday,

“Fire Safety”

Abraham House

Jun 13, 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

The location is good and with this price one should not wait too much. The the hostel is a labyrinth of corridors after corridors and doors after doors. In case of serious fire your changes are minimal. One can only wonder how this has been accepted in fire safety checks.

“Not so great”

Abraham House

Feb 27, 2005
3/6 found this review helpful

Positives: big dorms are relatively cheap, kitchen is social, daytime receptionists are professional, kitchen and cleaning staff are nice.

Negatives: duvet covers not changed between guests, evening receptionists (especially Trish and boyfriend Decklin) can become really aggressive if you disagree with them, pretty noisy in dorms of all sizes, often no water in large upstairs dorms on weekends, fridge is too small, kitchen underequipped.
