Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

Guests at the hostel will be able to enjoy activities in and around Mountmellick, like hiking and cycling. It was a very cool experience staying in the Forum Mountmellick. The bedrooms were very clean and the beds super comfy. The kids loved the bunk beds. The power in the showers was super. The renovated church, kitchen and eating areas were all fantastic and there was a lovely calm and relaxed atmosphere throughout the accommodation. Our host Colette was extremely welcoming and a great source of information about the local area. The accommodation is a great base to visit loads of really great attractions in Loais and there are some lovely takeaways in the town too, so you can bring dinner back and enjoy in the Forum. Overall our stay was fantastic and we would highly recommend staying at the Forum Mountmellick.

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. It was my first time in a capsule room and it was really nice, pods were really confortable, perfect size and the private bathroom in the shared room was really nice, with soap/shampoo in the rooms, which are a plus when you are travelling in hostels ! The room was big and didn't feel crowded. Really nice staff, very good breakfast, affordable and with many choices
