We didn't actually stay at Tipperary House, which appears to be more of a hostel for younger travellers, but every time we have visited Dublin we have appreciated the baggage-holding service that it offers even to non-residents: we land at Dublin airport, take AirLink bus No 747 all the way to Heuston railway station, whereupon a walk of a few hundred yards takes us to Tipperary House; we are well received, and for a few euro our bags are looked after while we spend the afternoon lunching (I may yet cover The Third Space on Smithfield in another submission); Jervis shopping centre is a short tram-ride away (another tip: at the Spar shop on arrival, still in the airpor building, buy and charge up a Leap card for cheaper and mo convenient travel on buses and trams). Bags can be collected up to about 6pm, by which time, in our case, our hosts have returned fom work.

We had slept in the option for a 6 bunk room where we occupied 2 of the beds. Was a nice hostel, the 6 bed room did have its own bathroom so was not shared with the rest of the house which was nice. Some breakfast options available. Hosts were very welcoming. Pretty strict on check in times. If you are a backpacker or willing to split rooms this is a fantastic option.

I visited Ireland for the first time this past summer. My first accommodation was Tipperary House. It is centrally located on the rail line and near a museum. It was a cozy place with a nice bathroom, and hospitable, accommodating staff.
