The hospitality treatment by the staff was amazing.

Pamela

Staff was really friendly and helpful, location was great- close to all the attractions but also on a quiet street- great to have a rest after a long day! Breakfast was awesome too!

Tímea

Slovakia

The breakfast was better than I expected, probably because of the fresh fruit and delicious cereal, which is fairly unusual for a hostel. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The hostel is a little bit out of the way, but not much, and I think that is probably more of an advantage, because it's pretty quiet at night. The beds were comfy and the (4-person) room was just fine. Good-sized common room as well. Overall, a very nice stay. I wish the price had been lower, but it's hard to find cheaper accommodation in Dublin.

Good location,staff,having coffee and drinks always available.met great people there

Glenda

Location is not too close to the fun stuff, but probably better if you don’t want to get woken up by people on the streets. The whole place was very clean, and Paco at the reception was super helpful.

Mexico

A good breakfast with fresh fruit in addition to the cereals. Kitchen available for cooking. Very clean everywhere due to hard work of Martina. Staff very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly for my tourist questions.

Raymond

Thailand

Really chill common area, nice and spacious kitchen, awesome staff, towels per 1€ each and calm location.

Joao

Spain

The hostel is very clean and the staff were very friendly and answered any questions I had. The bed was very comfy. Just a word of advice is to get earplug since some people tend to snore a lot.

Tknase

Ireland

Quiet hostel. There was free food (toast, cereal) available and breakfast was decent! Definitely not a party hostel. Close to a bus that goes to the city centre but also easy to walk there.

Perhaps the bathrooms can have platforms to hold the bottles of soap or shampoo, I didn’t really know whether to place the bathing soap.
The breakfast was absolutely amazing, like a feast almost. I looked forward to breakfast every day. The administrative staff were fantastic and very friendly as well, with the receptionist doing an exceptionally good job at welcoming us. Even better, the location is the best, so close to everything that we wanted to see and explore, all within walking distance such that we didn’t even have to take public transport.

I didn't like the beds. There were so noisy at any time, when I was moving only a little bit my body. I also didn't like the size of the room. It was too small to accommodate four people at once. I also could not change my room, because two people in my room were snoring very loudly during the night. Just horrible!
I just liked the clean bathroom and the location of the dorm and the opportunity to watch Netflix there...

The place is a bit run down on the outside. The location is off the beaten path more than expected but you can still walk to the city center in about 15 minutes.
Showers were excellent!

Disappointing

No locker except a boxy cage with no lock. Mattress sinks in the middle. Bunk bed frame feels like it's gonna collapse and noisily wobbles whenever you move. Woke up several times by men shouting outside and roommates going to the toilet and turning on the light. Also woke up with backache. 5 rooms to a floor but only 1 single occupancy men's room. Located in a housing project with garbage all over the streets, children setting off fireworks at night, and drunk men shouting from the bars nearby. I booked two nights but only stayed one.
Proximity to st Patrick's church and lidl. Bare minimum breakfast with instant coffee and toast.

There's no occupacy-indicator lock on the restroom door. ☹ The door is heavy which might be hard to hear the door knock.
The room is clean and neat. Reception area is quite lovely with greetings from all over the world. It provides various kinds of breakfast.
