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.

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! The staff was really nice and helpful. It was my first time staying at a hostel and now I can't wait to go back. Besides, the people at my room were really friendly, obviously that is going to change every time, but the general atmosphere of the place really helped out on that.

Ashfield Hostel is ideal for travellers or backpackers needing a low-cost base in Dublin. The hostel has all ensuite rooms (private bathroom), free Wi-Fi and bed linen, and no curfew. There are vending machines with drinks and light snacks. Only a quick stay before a flight but the receptionist was absolutely lovely. I didn’t catch his name but after a long days travels I was completely exhausted and his friendly personality definitely made my day so much better. We chatted about ancestry while he was doing the check in process and afterwards while I was eating in the common area he sat at reception playing guitar. Very great atmosphere and great facilities. Brilliant location. Wish I stayed here the last time I visited Dublin.
