A 25-minute drive from Dublin, the Maynooth College Hospitality includes high-quality rooms with free Wi-Fi and private parking on site. The campus is just a 1-minute walk from Maynooth Castle and 10 minutes from the train station. Incredible place, like a fairytale. Staff is amazing, everything is so clean and quiet. If you are a loud party person or travelling with babies/toddlers, I wouldn't recommend. If you want to relax and enjoy the beauty of history and heritage, this is your spot.

Just a 5-minute walk from Dublin’s lively Temple Bar entertainment district, this modern purpose-built hostel offers affordable accommodation within the very heart of the city. It specialises in group hostel accommodation for schools, universities and low-budget tours to Dublin. Wonderful! Very secure, hostel entrance is watched in the evening/at night. Dorms are locked too, you can only enter with a pin-code you receive at check in. Stayed in 10bed female dorm, Beds are clean and comfortable and modern! I forgot to bring an adapter with me but didn’t need it because all beds have USB ports, very convenient! Hotel lobby and breakfast/bar are very cozy and have a wonderful atmosphere. I’d love to come back in the future!
