Isaacs Hostel's 25th Birthday

Isaacs Hostel is celebrating 25 years since opening the first independent hostel in Dublin in 1984. The building which was originally a wine warehouse has some wonderfully quirky architectural features now fully refurbished.

Whether you're enjoying a long weekend taking in the sights and sounds or coming for one of the many concerts or festivals taking place around the city, then along with Jacobs Inn, Isaacs is the perfect central location for a visit to Dublin.

To get a taste of Dublin before you travel take a look at 'Truly, Madly, Deeply, Dublin' the tourist boards promotional video. Enjoy images of a young vibrant city interspersed with glimpses of our ancient civilisation and stunning scenery all set to the background music of U2s 'Beautiful Day'. Visit www.visitdublin.com or google 'Truly, Madly, Deeply, Dublin'. Also visit www.youtube.com to see a selection of amateur and more professional videos of the capital and surrounding areas.
