Nix the China idea, my brother has found dirt cheap plane tickets to ireland. I love Dublin, was there last st. patricks day and want to go again and hopefully we will. However we spent the majority of the time in a discusting, dirty, vile hostel. Mattresses stained in blood and dirt and the blankets ripped to shreads and stuffing shoved everywhere. Walls with holes, and scarthes and not an ounce of heat. He had looked online and found it in some hostel finding place. It had good ratings but obviously those were fake. 12 people in a room no bigger than my bedroom. We shared it with 9 other british women who felt the same way. Rainbow Hostel.
Anyways. I would love to go again. We stayed in a best western not to far from the river and it was hardly any better, but better enough. So I am asking here for experiences of hostels in Dublin from people. The hotel was 90E a night and definatly not even worth half of that, the hostel was cheap (god I want to throw up just thinking about it) Shame my parents have already booked their timeshare for that year and we cannot use it, else that would be lovely. So does anybody know of any at least livible hostels in the area? Something at least where I don't have to douse in lysol and go to bed in full body coverage just for my health?

There must be a decent, cheapish hostel in Dublin but I haven't found it yet. I'm not even picky about where I sleep, I just prefer it to be free of other people's bodily excretions
Just stay in a hotel, not that expensive if you're only staying for a few days like.
How much was your hotel Baby?
And thanks for the warning briggs! Warnings are the best help.
God knows, it was 3 years ago now! I know it cost me £200 through Expedia for return flights and accommodation for 5 nights... I think the flights were about £50-ish... so hotel (bed and breakfast) must have been about £150.
What's £150 in dollars, or even euros? God knows!
im supposed to be going for paddys day this year, and i'll be going for the hotel option, and im a hardened hostel stayer.
