Avalon HouseBest of IgoUgo

Hotel

This place provided a fairly decent breakfast in the morning, and could provide for any size group. The staff was enjoyable and very well informed.

We stayed in a dormitory room, which wasn't bad except the bathroom was shared with another dormitory room. So that meant two bathroom stalls, two showers, and two sinks for a lot of people. The floor was uneven so there were puddles of water all over the small bathroom, and we waited in line for everything. People left their things all over, leaving no room to put something down only for the time you were to be in the bathroom. The hostel itself is somewhat out of the way, but not much more than any other, better, cleaner hostel. The breakfast was slightly better than ones found in other hostels, but if you want a clean bathroom don't look here!

Temple Bar SquareBest of IgoUgo

Attraction

It is hidden in a small square around shops and restaurants. There was a butcher shop selling hamburger patties that they would barbecue for you right on the spot. I bought some of the most amazing apples, and sampled some cider. So much fun, I was sad we could only go once!!!

There is a hop-on, hop-off bus tour so that you can really take your time exploring the areas of the city that you want to.
