    I didn’t really like the fact that the windows couldn’t open, the smell inside our room shared by six people was awful after just a few hours… The bathroom was okay, very very small and there was only cold water coming from the sink. Even though the staff was always nice and welcoming, most of the time there was no one at the reception and we had to ask the pizza guys most of the information that we needed and sometimes they couldn’t help us because they didn’t know

    The locations is phenomenal, literally 2minutes walk to Temple bar! Other than that, I would say the structure is quite mediocre, me and my friend shared a bedroom with 4 other people, the roll was perfectly clean but the real problem was the temperature! Way too hot and since you couldn’t open the windows there was always an awful smell inside :/ The staff was very nice and always welcoming though!

    The mattress I had was sunken in with a literal crater that effected back support and comfortability. The bed above me also showed signs of piss and nasty leaks stains. Also I felt it was a little frustrating not having the attendee their most times like when I returned the key, I wasn't sure if it would be safely accepted while I put at them on the desk I was scared someone could snatch them.

    I liked the people I shared the room with which isn't always the case people were friendly and the staff was very nice at telling me what I needed to do to access the space and what I was able to get from the pizza front next door. It was bin the Gayborhood for queer folks this was amazing to see because I hadn't known much of the Dublin scene and this made my trip so memorable as Georg Bar was legitimately across the street.

    It was a grim place, very basic and dated. The cleanliness of the bathroom was questionable and it felt icky. It was very noisy as well.

    The location was good (close to Temple Bar area) but that was about it. Staff were friendly and you could keep your luggage at the reception after check out for free. There were 2 coat hangers in the room. It was a secure building with multiple locked doors/coded doors to get through. Heater was warm.

    If you’re looking for a decently priced hostel in the middle of Dublin, this is the place to do it. The beds aren’t incredibly comfortable, but what hostel bed is? It is a little confusing on how you get into the hostel, but if you go straight to the Apache Pizza, they will help you get checked in because it is directly attached to the pizza restaurant. Highly recommend if you want to be close to all of the sites and shopping Dublin has to offer!

    Noise from the street was loud until 2-3pm with somebody shouting each night. The window was closed but felt like is was open. Pricy for the standard of accommodation but it was right in the middle of the entertainment area which is the only real good point.

    It was in a great location and easy to find. Room was clean enough and the bed linen was also clean.

    It is in the middle of Temple Bar, so be aware that it will be noisy, not just music etc, but lots of drunken fights at 2,3 & 4 in the morning. It says it is a Hostel/B & B but does not provide breakfast or a kitchen. They do have a little table with a toaster, kettle and microwave which was handy. Very basic room, no T.V.

    The position was great, right in the middle of Temple Bar. Staff were very welcoming with lots of information. A few recent posts talked about lack of security. I think they have stepped up their game, there is an inside door with a lock code as well as the outside door with a key. Everything seemed clean enough, I did see cleaners come in. The bathroom was spotless. Lots of grocery shops in walking distance.

    To toilet or bathroom we needed to go on the floor (twice stairs up). Which we also needed to type codes to two doors. Really not handy.

    The lock on the door going up to the bathroom was a bit ridiculous and it took me about 20 mins to get it sorted luckily by someone next door in the restaurant as there was no staff to ask.

    The location was good. I was comfortable and had a good sleep. It was a good price for the stay.

    They don't have lockers, strangers constantly enter the room. The mattress was horrible when I lay down on the bed, I felt the springs going into my ribs, it was the most uncomfortable bed I've ever tried to sleep in in my life. The room at night is very bright with street lights and very noisy with people shouting and breaking bottles. I went to try to take a shower, I spent more than 10 minutes trying to get the shower to heat up, but I was unsuccessful. I had to put my clothes back on and find another bathroom to take a shower. Unfortunately I don't recommend it to anyone.

    The location is the only thing I liked about this place and the staff were very friendly to me.
