Avalon is one of the only hostels in Ireland that uses wind and solar energy to power the hostel and has full recycling facilities. Other Green activities you can find in the hostel are that all our light bulbs are energy saving bulbs and all our taps and showers are fitted with water saving push button taps to conserve water. Also we do not use any disposable crockery for our free breakfast, and all our brochures and printed matter are produced on recycled materials.

We are continuously trying to improve our green policy and to reduce our carbon emissions.

Avalon won the Ben and Jerry's Ecobiz Award in 2007.

'Hums with the energy of trans-continental travellers'

Lets Go 2009.

'Before there was tourism, Avalon House catered to the thin trickle of adventurers who landed in Dublin. They flood in these days, but Avalon hasn't missed a beat in its hosting duties.'

Lonely Planet 2009

'It's clean, spacious, safe, warm and, for the money, one of the best hostels in town.'
