Gardiner has been one of the coziest and welcoming accommodations I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying at, and I would recommend it to any of my friends or loved ones! It has got a friendly atmosphere with a simple and filling breakfast, vibrant patio and lounge area, and the occasional guitarist and/or singer. The quiet hours are helpful when you need a good night of sleep after a long day of exploring parts of Dublin, too! I’ve made some incredible memories as well as friendships in this hostel that I know I’ll cherish for years to come, and even if you don’t stay for long, there’s always an opportunity to have a great chat or make a new friend here!
