    There is no one at the reception at any time, I stayed around 20 minutes ringing the bell for them to open the door, then they gave me a different room than the one i booked... i was lost not knowing what to do to return the keys when i was leaving.

    The location is excellent

    The light of the toilet on the second floor didn’t work (for already a few weeks apparently) and not everything is super tidy but They clean everything everyday so I think it is a side effect of a shared bathroom with a lot of guests.

    The value for money is very good! The lady of the hotel was very friendly and the location is great.

    No light working in second floor toilet,there was drops of a red liquid in my door... possible blood? Over all the place could do with some fresh paint and attention to hygiene but it is a hostel not a 4 star hotel.

    40%off Apache pizza next door,the value for money and the bed was comfortable

    The whole place smells weird. Just outside my room it was even worst, like dirty feet that had been there for ages. One of the mattress was ready to be burned, you could feel all of the inside. Cleaning in general was a bit below average. Dublin is freaking expensive, but might be worth putting some extra bills for a better place

    Location is great and staff is friendly. Price is low for Dublin standards.

    There is one big issue - the noise. Windows are single paned and are not sealed tight when closed. May as well be standing outside with the revellers! Hostel needs to spend some money and sort this out and there ratings would be much higher. Extraction fan in the corridor is extremley noisey too. Advice take a good set of ear plugs!

    Cheap Accommodation for Dublin in the centre Very convenient, room although small was warm and clean. Bathroom facilities were good.

    In the center of Dublin, next to pubs, cafes, markets. It could be improved a bit.

    Not very clean; after two days there was no more toilet paper. Windows did not shut properly, so the room was constantly cold. Furthermore, you could hear loud noises coming from the street until 3/4 am, and the other guests were pretty loud too. Staff was not too professional, they never even checked our IDs.

    Very central location. Comfortable beds and pillows. There is a luggage room.

    Carpentry is not solid. Bed sheets are old. Why do budget accommodations don't buy cheap but new bedsheets to improve their reviews? There's a kettle in the hallway but no cups so how can you make tea or coffee? The main door lock is loose. We nearly didn't go in after a late night out. You have to keep turning the keys a few times & you will get nervous you mIght not get in at all. Needs fixing. I said this lock condition to the staff but apparently they know this with customer experience. So fix? Very central location yes. If you just want a bed then fine. And bring earplugs if you want to have a sleep straight away as you will hear late night street noise. Big windows.

    Very central location. You will be a few steps to Temple Bar if you're looking for this, and right in the centre of city too.

    No elevator, which was quite hard as I stayed on 3rd floor and had a heavy suitcase. Room was alright although it seemed like two of the people have stayed there for a long time already, room smelled like it as well. My key for the door didn't work, lucky for me that the restaurant staff opened.

    Location very central, in city center, close to shops/bars etc. Staff was nice although not trained. Everything clean. Was alright for a one night stay. You get discount in their pizza fast food place.

    The bunk beds were not very high, so you could not sit comfortably when on a lower bunk. And no cages underneath the beds to lock away valuables. No lift for those wondering. The upstairs balcony had no rain cover and was a little hard to get out to as it had a hatchway similar as you find on a ship with no proper step.

    I liked the reception lady. I liked how even though there was no guest's kitchen, effort was made to provide some meal preparation facilities with items such as a fridge, microwave, and kettle to boil water on one of the floors.

    For the price I paid, there was nothing I could complain about. Obviously it was not luxurious, if that is what you need, you better look for other accommodation other than hostels.

    The staff was friendly and very helpful. The Hostel is located in an amazing central location and offers a discount with a pizza shop affiliated with it. I will surely book it again, should I need to return to Dublin. There are some noises coming from the streets at night, not the hostel's fault but the central location.

    compared to other european hostels it was still a bit expensive, but that is dublin for you. didnt feel like a hostel, in part because of the lack of s public area wifi didnt work, but is supposed to be fixed in a couple of days staff really let you explore everything yourself. where your room is, where the bathroom is.

    - Not a real hostel, more like a guest house - No kitchen - I would say clean but not the cleanest - No storage For this price, if you're looking for something cheap and just stay overnight, good choice to go but if you are looking for a real hostel, not the right one

    - Location: Great - Price: Compare to the other overpriced hostels in Dublin, really good price - 40% off on the takeway pizza shop, good food and nice staff - I could store my luggage before checking in and after checking out
