This is an ideal lodging to visit Newgrange. You can stay in bed till 8 O clock. Leave at 9:00 and walk 200 meters to the visitor center, and you can join the first tour of the day, which makes your feel the ancient mytery more realistic (than visiting it after many other people on the day).

Newgrange Lodge Hostel is like a luxuary hotel without the high price. And the employees went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. It was everything they advertise and more! We highly recommend this hostel. Comfy beds, clean and modern, friendly staff and a 2 minute walk to the amazing Newgrange passage tomb. Thanks especially to Grace! We will be back!

Very convenient location for going on the Newgrange and Knowth tours - and the price was right. The Lodge can call to reserve places on the tours which saves time standing in line. Our family had two rooms and both were clean - the baths were spotless. Variety of guests ranging from seniors to youth, families, singles. Fortunately all the guests were considerate when we were there as the walls between units are quite thin; we could hear the man next door clear his throat. The continental breakfast (juice, hardboiled eggs, cheese, sliced ham, toast or biscuits, tea or coffee) is presented plainly presented, but adequate.
