Isaac's Hostel

This friendly guesthouse takes the backpacker concept of humble frugality and turns it right on its head. Calling itself "Dublin's first V.I.P. hostel," it has the usual mix of bunk beds, lockers, and TV rooms. But it also has a heady cocktail of extras, including polished wood floors, a full restaurant, and an attractive sauna. It's a thoughtful hybrid hostel, with Internet access, a kitchen for guests' use, pool tables, and a friendly and relaxing atmosphere. Prices are liable to rise during "event" weekends, such as when big sports matches are on, but it's definitely one of the best options for the frugal traveler.
