The staff is really helpful The floor is noisy, it's old, so it's impossible to not disturb the others in the room.

We didn't stay at the hostel but in an apartment hosted by Sky Backpackers. The apartment was very quiet facing to the inner court with large garden. The shower was a bit problematic, the water was either too cold or extremely hot. We didn't find the right way to use it. Some instructions would help. The same with TV and digibox. We lost all but one channel during our stay and couldn't retrieve the others.

I was staying in the apartment, which was quite comfortable, though the fireplace was a bit noisy. The location is perfect, right in the city center, but a bit removed from Temple Bar hassle.

The position close city center (better position between O'Connell Street and Temple Bar), cheap price for the hostel, many people in the structure from all the rest of the world! Expensive price for a double room not very clean without inside bathroom

Location was excellent as it is minuets away from all the best pubs/restaurants. Also the free breakfast is very good (sorts out the hangover)! Overall it is very good value for money and would happily stay there again.

The staff was very friendly. It was clean and the beds weren't too uncomfortable. The common areas were nice and well maintained. The walls were very thin, so it was loud. There isn't an elevator; all bags have to be carried up steep stairs.

The staff at this hostel was really, really cool and friendly. Any questions I had they had an answer for and were on top of anything I needed. Very relaxed place and the location is unbeatable. The hallway to my room smelled like pungent cheese or something. It was very unpleasant and kind of dreadful. Also, the shower was a bit of a nightmare scenario. I switched to warm and out of nowhere steaming hot water came out and burned my scalp (ladies, watch out). Also, I wish the heater was working since our stay was in December.

The staff was really nice and friendly. I stayed in the en-suite 4- bedrooms. And the room and bathroom is very clean. The equipment in the kitchen is very complete, you got all you need. And there's always plenty supply of hot water, coffee, tea, chocolate, and milk for everybody to serve themselves. The breakfast is not included, yet definitely worth 3 Euros. It's simple but can feed yourself well. The only thing can complain about is the noise at night. Because there's a pub right next to the hostel and they have live music and Irish dance performance every night. So it would become very noisy since 7:00 pm until midnight. But I prepared the earplug so actually I slept very well.

The location, the breakfast, the help provided by the staff, the room were we stayed. The room #12 has a problem with the bathroom light, rather than fix it they just went for an easy fixed and gave us an extension to connect a bedside lamp to the bathroom so we could see something. We were there from friday to sunday and they didn't fix it.

The staff. Their positive energy, friendliness and helpfulness. I wish I had such people around me every day. A lack of wardrobes in the rooms. We had to keep our clothes in the suitcases all the time but maybe it was just our room that doesn't have them.
