This hostel is a nice place with a good atmosphere. However, the are not
American friendly. They mainly like to rent to non-Americans. Imagine
that..not being able to stay in a hostel in your own nation's capital.
BRITISH ISLES

area, large rooms, approx 8 people per room. £10/night
IRELAND
DUBLIN
Here's a review from my friend Des. Hostel is located at 21-28 Talbot Place
(phone 353 1 855 5660):
In Dublin I stayed at hostel called JACOBS INN, the rooms
were new and good quality. The price was IR£10.95 sharing with 8-12,
en-suite for each room, this is high season price. Need own towel and
food although both are available at reasonable cost. Cooking facilities,
T.V. room, bag storage at no cost, good security, great service. For
those who don't like it too rough.
CORK
Shiela's Tourist Hostel
Highly recommended. Very friendly staff, good (but small) rooms. They will do your laundry for
IR£5 and also have internet access (1 terminal) for IR£6/hr.
PORTRUSH
Macools Hostel (aka Portrush Tourist Hostel) One of my all time favorites, and highly recommended. Wonderful
staff, laundry for IR£2, ocean view from the front
room, IR£7/night.
