  • We overall had a very positive experience at this hostel. There was originally a mixup in our room, and it appeared to be overbooked so they had to split up our group. However, an older man, likely the owner, personally helped solve the problem the next day. He was very helpful and funny. The location is pretty good, with a great irish bar right at the corner, where we were lucky enough to see some real irish dancing! Facilities are all good enough.

  • It's not the hostel of my dreams but I can't complain at all. Bearing in mind that is right in the center of Dublin, it's pretty good. It's not expensive (especially when you walk around the same street and see the prices of other accomodations around). The staff was nice. I wish the beds were already made, but oh well. It was surprisingly clean for such a big and busy hostel. My bathroom had a bit of mold on the ceilling but it's normal cos it's an old building

  • The smell of a small bathroom without window and full of humidity is not that nice ...

  • easy to access, everything is on walking distance. nice breakfast with friendly staff. On the flip side, very congested rooms. no internet access in the room. over all good experience.

  • It's a bed and a bathroom and wifi, not too far from the centre, but not much more. Lockers aren't in the room and it would benefit even just from shelves for each of the top bunks. And wifi is intermittent in the rooms, best in the reception/common room and mostly ok in the breakfast room. But there are lots of people coming and going whom one can meet and breakfast is quite good. The staff are at least polite and some are friendly.

  • A pretty standard hostel for the price, neither fancy nor shoddy. Breakfast, however, was well above average. Apart from the usual bread, butter, jam and tea, the hostel provided not only cereals but also boiled eggs and fruit. The kitchen was kept pretty clean too, which impressed me also.

  • This is a nice hostel for the price. It is a short walk to a lot of attractions and there are a lot of other travelers coming and going that you can talk with. The staff was very helpful. The room was clean but the bathroom could have been cleaner (although it is hard to stay tidy when there are 6 people sharing a small bathroom).

  • One of the cleanest and well maintained hostels I have ever stayed in. Wonderful staff every single one of whom was friendly and helpful, and several became good friends. Large and busy at times with a small ground floor common area, but the basement kitchen makes up for it. Best breakfast that I had in Dublin out of the over a dozen hostels where I have stayed. Just minutes from main bus station and bus stops, O'Connell Street, Temple Bar, Trinity College, and lots of shopping.

  • I liked a lot mainly by the atmosphere of the place, excellent location and facilities. Good breakfast too and near to O'Connell Street. But there is an old man at the front desk not so friendly.

  • It's a hostel, so you get what you pay for. Place is clean, beds are good, plenty of kitchen facilities, wifi, tv's, security lockers. Only 1 bathroom per dorm, so there's gonna be some queues when everyone wants to shower. People come to the hostel just to hang out, which is the best indicator of atmosphere you can have.
