Garden Lane Backpackers

Great stay. Problem is using the car park. They say you should ring a number to get out (once you’ve paid) however when we were in a hurry to get out and called the number they had no recollection of a code to get out. Reception should just give the code out to people who pay for the car parking option

I arrived to the hostel early afternoon. Check-in was an easy process and the receptionist was very friendly and offered a few recommendations on things to see in the area. Upon entering the elevator, there was a posted list of things to do. My accommodations were just as described. I was assigned the bottom bunk as requested due to my mobility issues. I went back downstairs to purchase a lock for the under bed safe. I later gave myself a tour to the 3rd floor where I found a lounging area, washers and dryers, a full kitchen with freezer, refrigerators, two stoves, and ovens, televisions, and a small patio outside. Most of the guests I encountered were friendly, lively, approachable, and engaging from all over the world. Many of them addressed each other by name and seemed to be friends. I was given suggestions on where to go to pick up food. I walked to nearby Lydl and Tesco and picked up snacks and food to prepare. The kitchen is well stocked to cook a complete meal from scratch. The bed was comfortable, and I slept well. The next morning, I went to the kitchen for a continental breakfast provided by the hostel. It was interesting to note that they have long-term guests that call this hostel their home. The hostel was safe and clean. If I'm ever in Dublin again, this will be my go to spot.

Das Hostel hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Die Zimmer sind nett und es gibt oben eine Küche, einen netten Aufenthaltsraum und eine Dachterrasse. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und die Lage auch recht gut, ich würde es empfehlen.

The rooms were fine, but they have not enough bathrooms per floor, I often needed to wait or search for another one on the other floors. The kitchen/seating areas would be fine in general, but too small for the amount of people, so it felt stressful finding a place to sit or eat. But the laundry facilities are good and clean and the price is fair.

There were only 2 working bathrooms on a floor with 4 dorm rooms.

Clean, accessible, friendly. I enjoy having 24 hour access to the kitchen and common areas. Roomy, comfy beds and convenient storage in the rooms. Fast elevator.

Very nice affordable stay option in Dublin! Location is pretty good, around 10-20 minutes walk for every major attraction. The kitchen and living area is also very nice! Only thing is the beds are kinda small and short but they were still comfy :) Also kind of a quiet hostel but if you like that it’s perfect.

This hostel is quite centrally located and relatively easy to find (although the directions I was sent were not all that easy to understand, this would not be a problem for anyone with a cell phone and data to access Google maps). The wifi worked well. The breakfast room on the top floor provides lovely views and even an outdoor patio. The breakfast was entirely satisfactory although I'm no fan of instant coffee and that's all that's available. There's an elevator too, a real bonus!

The hostel was clean and the bed was so comfortable ( better than most places I have stayed). There was only 3 washrooms with showers on each floor for many ppl, so a bit of wait. The hostel seem like more a long term stay, so there were no activities, the staff were nice but didn't help with recommendations in area. The common area was small and limit seatings so not inviting. Couple of recommendations: add more chairs in rooms as you can't sit on lower bunk ( to short), a shelf in the bathroom would be helpful ( instead of having to put your stuff on the toliet or floor). Above, I like location ( cool neighborhood), its on the outside of "tourist area" which had cool bars, supermarket, and walkable to pretty much everywhere. If you like quiet, and a nice place to sleep, this is the place for you.

The proximity of the property to downtown Dublin is unbeatable. Being located between the Guinness Storehouse and the Temple Bar made walking a breeze. The parking was extremely secure and I felt comfortable leaving my rental car. My only issue was exiting the locked car park early in the morning. I was given a number to call if I left before 10am to open the gate. They were helpful, but it still took ~20 minutes before I could get out of the car park.

My boyfriend and I had a lovely stay in our private room! It was exceptionally clean with towels, shampoo/conditioner, soap, water, and tea/coffee in the room. We had plenty of space and the staff was incredibly kind. There were plenty of clean bathrooms so we never had to wait in lines despite being shared. We only stayed one night, but would have stayed more if we were in town longer!

Bathrooms clean, appreciate the female-only dorm room, breakfast was fine and included.

Great location in a real neighborhood with a few high streets close by. Staff were super friendly. Clean facilities. We had a private room with shared bathroom and didn’t have any issues getting into shower etc. Lovely kitchen and lounge area with a great view. Only downsides were street noise in the morning from street cleaning and garage door opening and closing, which was quite noticeable even though we were up a couple floors and off to the side. And we had a bunk bed with one super comfy mattress and another that you could feel the metal springs; we asked for an extra duvet as a topper and it was fine, but a new mattress needed.

Clean, comfortable, quiet. The shared kitchen and living area was inviting. Good WiFi was appreciated.

Great backpackers vibe, clean kitchen and showers, not over busy but plenty of friendly faces. Rooms secure and decent beds. Friendly staff.

Very quiet and homely-feeling hostel situated to the west of the tourist centre, about 5-10 minute walk from both cathedrals. We had a 2-person bunk room which was clean and comfortable. There were plenty of bathrooms which were cleaned well every day. Breakfast was fruit and toast with various spreads, we didn't use the kitchen outside of this so can't comment on cooking facilities. Lovely views from the balcony on 2nd floor. We also received discounts from some of the restaurants linked to the hostel which was a great bonus (the hostel kindly sent us a list of restaurants to use).

部屋、水回り含め、とても清潔感があってよかった。

I don’t recommend it The room seemly and shower is not clean

My pillow was quite flat. However that was the worst of the stay. Friendly staff, very close to everything and a very good over all value.

The bed was comfortable but the doors were noisy and opening and closing them late at night kept me awake. The kitchen and common areas were a bit tired but clean. There was little instruction from the front desk regarding things like food storage. The stove had no instructions and the paint with temperature settings and oven setting was worn off.

Garden Lane Backpackers was clean and well kept. There was a nice common area with a nice view of the city. It is conveniently located and within walking distance of many attractions and restaurants/bars. We stayed in bunk beds that were surprisingly comfortable. It was a little noisy at night. The person staying next to us came in late (2am) and was signing loudly and playing loud music. We had to be up early, so this was an inconvenience. We did not report this to the desk. Other than this, it was a nice stay. We were able to drop our bags after check out to keep exploring the city without lugging our baggage around. Garden Lane Backpackers suggested the Dublin Express Bus to get to/from the airport, which worked out well.

Lovely room, friendly staff and fellow hotel users, would recommend

Fair location and a comfortable bed. Bit of a wait for bathrooms but the facilities were fine. Two plugs at the beds was good but could do with a basket or shelf to organise what was being charged, put glasses in etc.

Nice quiet neighborhood. Curtains around bed are good. Could use a bath mat in the bathroom. Safe. Bring a small padlock.

Great stay. Problem is using the car park. They say you should ring a number to get out (once you’ve paid) however when we were in a hurry to get out and called the number they had no recollection of a code to get out.

Staff was not super friendly or welcomjng. Ilder ajd a bit rundown. Breakfast was super basic. Good location tho. Good for a short stay.

service impeccable. cuisine bien équipée. espaces commun confortable. propre...

Great backpackers vibe, clean kitchen and showers, not over busy but plenty of friendly faces. Rooms secure and decent beds. Friendly staff.

We booked a private room but had no electricity for 2/3 of our stay. It was only the two private rooms on our floor that didn’t had electricity and while the stuff was nice, no one felt responsible for this. We had to email the management and wanted to get a partial refund but still haven’t received an answer. The location was central and rooms okay but not really helping having a private room when you’re always have to go out of the room and find an outlet with power to charge.

Close to center, a little over 1 mile to bus station, friendly.

Sim.As recepcionistas são ótimas!

Had a great stay and would recommend! Friendly and helpful staff too!

Perfect if you just need a place to stay and really want to explore outside. Walking distance to everything, up the block from Guinness factory, pleasant staff.

Easy walking to town!

Very impressed. Was great value and just a short walk from the city centre. We had a private twin room (bunk bed) and it was well equipped and very comfortable

Loved my stay! Some locals say this area is a bit dodgy however, didn’t feel really comfortable walking to it at night since it’s a little isolated. But very lovely staff and clean facilities would bring me back!

Really enjoyed the place. Quiet neighbourhood. Not far from places to go and see. Would highly recommend.

I had a great experience! It is a close walk to the city center and had a nice lounge. The neighborhood is quiet.

Worst experience on a hotel/hostel ever. Misleading pictures, misleading info. Off to a good start. The receptionist was welcoming. Then we get a room where the floor planks were almost coming apart. The mattresses were okay, but the pillows were thin as paper. The room had a can of water, a dolce coffee machine and mugs. There was something in the water (looked like food leftovers). On Hotels.com the pictures of the bedroom is close to being 100% identical. But it’s a photoshopped kitchen that does not at all look like the actual kitchen. Different surface, different design, different colors. On hotels.com it states “top quality breakfast”, that’s one of the main reasons why we chose this place. So VERY disappointed to get up to a serve-yourself breakfast where you had to open a cheap bag of toast bread, there were 2 cheap cereal to chose between, the fruit bowl was half expired, the 2 juice variants were the cheap €1 fruitjuice from a shop, and especially that the only coffee solution was to boil some water and put instant coffee. To top it off: when finishing breakfast, you had to clean and dry your plates, mugs and cutlery. The bathrooms are share and first come first served. The shower head is broken so you have to be 160 cm to actually use the shower. And the elevator is incredibly noisy when used (you can hear it from your room) We should have stayed 2 nights but were so disappointed that we checked out after 1 night. We could get no refund or compensation.

Staff was not super friendly or welcomjng. Ilder ajd a bit rundown. Breakfast was super basic. Good location tho. Good for a short stay.

Walkable to everything. I would stay again because of that. Bring your own towel unless you want to pay 5 euros for a towel. Breakfast is simple everyday. It could of been better though. Cereal, apple, banana, toast, oranges, juice and coffee everyday. Nothing special.

Bathrooms clean, appreciate the female-only dorm room, breakfast was fine and included.

Loved the bed curtains and all day free breakfast. Very nice staff as well

This property is a hidden gem. Close to a lot of walking tours and bars. One of the cleanest hostels ever. Their breakfast is basic but still good and it’s free.

Great affordable acommodation, free breakfast was an added bonus!

This hostel had everything plus free coffee and tea all day.
