Dublin Hostelling International

The historic building housing Dublin Hostelling International (An Oige) has at various times in its past been a convent and a school - in fact, the old chapel is now a restaurant and the old confessional box is now a phone booth. If that is not charming and unique, nothing is.

“An Óige” is the name of Ireland’s Youth Hostel Association, and Dublin International Hostel is the capital city’s branch of An Oige, hence the name Dublin Hostelling International (An Oige). The hostel is located in Dublin’s center, just a short 15 minute walk from the popular Temple Bar area, close to many of the city’s main sights and both bus and train stations. The hostel is also not far from some of the rugged landscapes just outside the city, where you can get away from Dublin’s hustle and bustle and get back to nature.
