Ashfield House has 26 rooms that face the street, and have modest views of the spirited D'Olier Street down below. Aside from being fairly close to Temple Bar, there's little at Ashfield that's extravagant or atmospheric, but it's a more than satisfactory place to stay.
Ashfield is divided between dorm and hotel rooms. The latter are clean and light, with fundamental facilities and furnishings. It's not boring but not astonishing either. You'll feel like you're in a college dorm meeting room while in the lounge area, where comfy sunken couches and round tables are the norm. And like many college dorms, Ashfield even has a pool table.
I will start by stating that it is the only hostel I have stayed at which may/may not negate my comments. However, I will say that the facility was very nice, great free wi-fi internet, great location right on the river and next to Dublin Castle, St. Stephens Green, and Trinity College. Very friendly helpful staff and comfortable Beds. Thank you!
Very close to the city center and good international young people

The location of this place is great, really nice and easy to get to and to explore Dublin from. The common spaces are nice and I had no problems with the room. It was nothing outstanding but very reasonable all around.
