Nothing. It's a great hostel, with kind and friendly staff.
We were in a private double and the bed was crazy comfortable. Better than the Airbnbs we've been staying in. Alex, the staff member, was really great - kind, thoughtful, attentive. We'd definitely stay here again. Cheers!

This is very basic hostel accommodations. The room was not all that clean - previous guests socks and dust bunnies under the bed.

My husband, myself and my eight year old stayed at Dempsey's Hostel for two nights. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and everything that we needed to cook with was provided. I have noticed that reviews are mixed on booking.com. I would recommend this hostel for anyone looking for cheap, basic accommodation in a great location. Anyone looking for '3 star plus', hotel-like accommodation, is looking in the wrong place! This hostel is good value for money!
