Excellent location, very nice staff and very friendly. The laundry drier was not working. They should have posted a sign. I had to wait an extra 70 minutes after they told that is was broken, such the staff knew about.

Ideally located only a few steps away from Temple Bar district, the facilities and rooms were spotless, comfortable and welcoming, and the staff are beyond friendly and helpful. The only negative comments I have are: 1) There is no common kitchen, and you're not allowed to bring food from outside and eat it in the common areas, but the food options on site are very limited. This is unfortunate since there are many great takeout restaurants nearby, and part of the beauty of traveling is experiencing the local food culture. It's strange that as a hostel, their policies don't embrace or facilitate this. 2) The showers are in the basement, with no windows, no mirrors, and no plug outlets for hair dryers or styling tools! This is very inconvenient for women, unless you have a room with a private bathroom/shower.

Loved this hostel. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Bar was good, would suggest going elsewhere for food though. Easy walk to Temple Bar area and attractions.

Perfect location and a clean, comfortable place to lay your head at the end of the day. The self-check-in was a touch confusing, but there was someone on hand to assist. The rooms are basic, but clean and the shower was great. The bar downstairs was welcoming and fun. Some of the “house rules” are a bit weird (no alcohol in your room, even a private room?), but it’s mostly the kind of place you just use to sleep. Very decent overall.

The location was perfect for us. Across the street from a mall with a grocery— and many walkable options for food within literally 3-5 minutes. Very close to Temple Bar and the River. Downsides were: elevator broken the whole stay… luggage storage wouldn’t fit anything bigger than a backpack. Pizza is all not great except for basic cheese. I would stay again. Not sure the wife and kids would.

There is not a kitchen for guests to use. The outlets and lights designed to be individual in the bunks do not work. We checked with staff and they let us know that it was a known problem without a solution. We stayed in 2 rooms, 2 separate visits during our 2 week travels and they didn't work in either room. Rooms are comfortable, beds are comfortable. We reserved in advance but the price went down prior to our stay, unfortunately we could not get an adjustment on the price of the room. You can rent towels for $5 during your stay. Would stay again.

The location itself was good. Right in the middle of everything. It was a roughly 15mins walk to the main airport bus station and 20mins walk to Trinity college. I have booked a 6 people room which our room has an accessible ensuite. It was massive but could do with a few shelves fitted in the toilet for storage. You need your room card to enter to the building after certain time which is good for security. You will need the card to access the basement which is where the storage room and more toilets are. It was a slight inconvenience when you have checked out and get your stuff although the staff will give you a visitor card to get around.

So first of all I understand not having TVs in the dorm style rooms, but really...not in the private rooms? Some of us like to unwind and watch some TV or fall asleep with the sleep timer on. NO TVs in the private rooms but the bed and bathroom was really nice. But you cant bring water or snacks to the room or they will chrge you 50 euro...which i find very odd and very much a headache. Good location and good prices.

Best location, easy to get to via public transportation, clean, friendly staff. Only downside is 5 euro to rent a towel, 5 euro to request an upper or lower bunk, 5 euro for luggage storage, 5 euro for early check-in, 5 euro for this for that…

Great location just over the river from temple bar area. Place is clean and tidy. Breakfast was great though would have liked it to include bacon on the hot buffet.

Rooms need to be cleaned daily. I started in a 4 beds girls room and it was very dirty, had to ask the staff to please send someone to clean the room. Another girl did the same. They only take the trash out, but even the shower smells like pee. The mattress wasn’t very comfy. But the hotel is nice, very close to everything. And with many activities.

I booked a room for the location and the good reviews, but I'd advise everyone against it. The room is filthy, the floor is full of hair and dust, the bathroom and toilet are disgusting. And 5 € to rent a tower? Simply robbery. I've been to hostels all over europe and asia, and I never felt so disgusted by a place.

Habitación sucia, baños sin papelera y la palanca del baño estaba rota, mencionar que están haciendo obras a lado, lo cual es muy ruidosa por la mañana

Stayed in a woman's 6x unit. It was clean. It was surprisingly quiet. I didn't eat there. But the bathroom was clean and so was the unit.

Clean Room, Great Staff, Great Location. So happy with the experience. Room with private bathroom.

Spotless.... Clean and safe. Amazing place to stay in Dublin. Would love to visit again if I am in Ireland. The only thing is they don't provide towels and breakfast not included in the price... U need to buy it separately at 9 or 10 euros

Centrally located and clean, nice staff, safe.

Very clean and modern. Its a hostel so its simple but one of the nicest I've seen

Nice hostel in a very central location. Easy access to luas and bus services/coach services. Short walk to shopping areas. Very stylish and events always happening in the communal areas. Rooms were spacious as was the bathroom. Cleanliness could be better. Seems like the room had not been properly cleaned during the stay with only bed linen stripped and new provided between guests. During my stay the room bin was not emptied. There was a small collection of things that had been left by previous guests which had just been left. On my allocated bunk i found a dusty vest top wedged down the side of the mattress which should have been noticed.

The overall property was nice, my bunk bed was sadly pretty dirty tho. The sheets/pillow/mattress was fine but the walls and the ceiling in my bunk was covered in mucus which was pretty disgusting. The shower also had mold. Other than that everything was fine. The hostel was right in the city center and there were great food options all around.

A localização é ótima e o atendimento também. Porém, o quarto é pequeno e pouco confortável. O chuveiro alterna entre um jato gelado e outro fervendo. O café da manhã é péssimo.

The Hostel is in Central Dublin and you can easy get everywhere from there. Unfortunately the Rooms were very noisy

Clean, modern and Good value. However there was no temperature control in the room - I guess it’s centrally controlled.

Plugs not working

No frills in my room. Zero. But who needs it, go out and experience the city. But if it matters to you, there's a small storage space for luggage, a small shelf, and a very small table. No TV, coffee maker, etc.

View from my room on floor 10 was really nice, as was the very convenient location.

The beds are hard and uncomfortable and cramped. Their refund policy isnt flexible.

Travelled as a solo female and just stayed for one night in a female-only 6 person shared dorm - you have to make your own bed on arrival which was a little tricky on the top bunk but manageable. Each bunk had a curtain for privacy, a personal light and plug socket and there was a large locker for each person in the dorm (bring your own padlock). Check-in was easy, use the touch screen computer in the lobby, check-out was even easier as you just leave your keycard in a box on reception. Had to queue a bit for the lift at busier times but not a big deal. Absolutely ideal location, really central but juuuust set back enough to not have loads of noise at night - will definitely stay here again!

Tasty breakfast, central location. Bed uncomfortable and lack of versatile charging locations. Expensive for what you got.

Took the private room. Beds are awful, you can feel the springs of the base of the bed. There are no decent curtains. They are useless, it does not block the light at all so if you are used to sleeping in the dark, this place is not for you. The price is oke for the location

Double room booked but was unavailable and given room with bunk beds. The staff responded with your booking was done via Expedia we had no way of knowing the was a problem with room until you checked in not our fault.

Very helpful staff. Cheap and practical stay for us as a family of 2 adults and 3 teens.

In order to check in, you need to first push past all the smokers blocking the doorway. Check in is all self serve. They don’t have any dark curtains so the lights from the city make the room bright enough to read in at night. There is a pull down “curtain” but it doesn’t block any of the light. On my second night I was in the shower at about 2000 when someone started pounding on the door. I asked who it was and they said “security” and I let them know I was in the shower. They were gone by the time I came out. At 2300 I was awaken by someone else pounding on the door for several minutes. I had an early flight to catch so I didn’t answer. I wouldn’t stay here again for that reason alone.

The staff members were amazing. Very friendly very approachable. Charlie was the best given us advice on where to go. Very laid back hostel and felt very safe during our time there.

Checking in, you could tell the workers were everywhere and didnt work cohesively. It was a busy weekend because Taylor Swift was in town. The outlets in the bed didnt work so they made us wait at the front desk for portable chargers that charged for like 5-15 minutes before dying. The bathrooms were not cleaned everyday. The first night I checked into a used bed and told them I was changing. The first night I played trivia and won a free drink. I dont drink much so I decided to keep the pass for later. When I wanted to use it, I went to the bar around 10/11 at night and the bartender pretended like he didnt see me. He was skipping over me, multiple times. After waiting 20 minutes and him continuously acting like he didnt see me, I told him excuse me ive been waiting. He goes I didnt see you, im tired, ill serve you next. He literally lied, he just didnt want to serve me. I know he saw me because there wasnt many people and he intentionally kept taking people over me. When I gave him my free pass he acted like I stole it and asked where I got it from, he was being racist to me and the 2 other Black girls. The irony is he was playing the game when I won the pass! The next day I tried ordering a baileys hot chocolate. The coffee station sent me to the bar, then the bar sent me to the coffee station and they argued about making my drink for 2 mins before someone started to make it. This place is nice and convenient but theres so much that needs to be addressed it ridiculous

the staff were so friendly and helpful.

Clink i Lar start are super friendly and helpful. The hostel is in a great

Anna was great, she made me smile!

The washrooms are not cleaned daily and floor not swept ...just emoty the garbage. The security harrased us while sittingnin the lobby asking for ID ...we are guests staying so found it rude of him ...

TOP: Location, absolutely + Communication and kindness in the days before check-in from Anna, Vicente and Meg. Really nice and helpful. OK: Room and internal services without praise and without complaint. NOT GOOD: Room cleaning service every 3 days + cold welcome on arrival and, in general, there is no atmosphere of welcome when entering and leaving the hotel during the stay.

The hostel is ideally situated only a short walk away from Temple Bar district. There are lots of pubs, restaurants and coffee shops nearby, and there's a major chain grocery store only a few steps away. The staff are always present, very helpful, and very friendly. The facilities are also very clean and very well maintained. The only downsides are: - No communal kitchen and they do not allow outside food on the premises (although apparently this is tolerated to a certain degree), which is very inconvenient since it forces you to buy food from the bar or the cafeteria within the hostel itself. - The shared showers and toilets are in the basement, and there are no mirrors or plug outlets there, which makes it inconvenient for women to do their hair/makeup in those areas. There was a bathroom with a mirror in the room I stayed in, but this was not practical for late showers / hair blow drying because of the noise and disturbance of the other room guests in the room.

Wonderfully located in downtown Dublin. Stayed on the 9th floor and it was above a lot of the buildings so it was dark and quiet with a beautiful view. Highly recommend this place, you will get what you pay for and more

Incredible location extremely central to everything in Dublin, very clean property, seamless check in and check out process!

The best thing about this property is the location. I definitely would stay again because of this. Easy to navigate and close to everywhere.

View from my room on floor 10 was really nice, as was the very convenient location.

Amazing location

Great location next to the temple bar area.

Great location, clea liniess was good especially for a hotel. I did stay in a private family room (so dorms may be different). Lockers a bit on a the expensive side for a few hours. Had a great stay there.

Well located in the middle of town. Affordable and excellently welcoming - still new and clean - beautiful view from the 10th floor room I had.

Brilliant hostel, amazing location.

Stayed for 3 days and had a great time. The hotel is very close to many attractions, and public transportation. They have a great breakfast buffet. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Great Location. Would not recommend the pizza

Breakfast is great here!

Loved this hostel. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Bar was good, would suggest going elsewhere for food though. Easy walk to Temple Bar area and attractions.

Excellent place! So modern, great rooms with privacy, as each bed has a blackout drape, a reading lamp and an area to plug your phone in. Bathrooms are modern and spotless, and there's both a bathroom with a sink and another shower with a sink. The downstairs is awesome, great full bar, espresso machine to make great coffee drinks, and excellent food. The staff were so friendly, helpful and patient! I'll recommend this place and most definitely stay here again! Best hostel I've stayed in! Thanks Jenn

Ce logement est particulièrement bien situé et permet de tout visiter à pied. La chambre est moderne et bien équipée. Elle est très calme. Le petit dejeuner est copieux mais pas très varié. Il faut le réserver avant pour payer moins cher.

Location was great, room with bathroom/ toilet exceeded expectations. All facilities were clean and well kept. Breakfast buffet was lovely with a lot of variety they even packed one on the day of my travel since I left early before they started serving. Every night they had some sort of entertainment.

El personal fue demasiado amable!!! Me ayudaron en muchas cosas! Aunque a la habitación estaba un poquito sucia en el aspecto del piso bajo la cama, todo estuvo bien! Muy tranquilo! Muy cerquita del Temple Bar y todas las atracciones!! El desayuno súper variado!!!

Lads get away 4 nights Brilliant room - pillows could be a tad nicer Breakfast decent and 20% off if booked day before Bar staff all great Food at the bar good especially the wings!! Beer pricing at the bar cheaper than some of the local pubs

Great location just over the river from temple bar area. Place is clean and tidy. Breakfast was great though would have liked it to include bacon on the hot buffet.
