“Overpriced / Must improve room/bathroom cleanliness”

1. Check-out at 10!! 2. Room (and bathroom!!) dirty from previous guest. It seems the staff has not cleaned the room (just the beds) that day, nor the days I stayed...
Better than other hotels in Dublin but still just decent services and facilities in comparison to what you pay...

Ventilation in the room was terrible, not enough for 8 people (making the room smell very bad). Bathroom only in the second floor, so you are in any other floor, you have to move up/downstairs. Bathrrom also not ventilated, so it was moldy.
Lounge with a pub, pool table and music. Nice place to chill after a long day exploring the city. Good breakfast for a fair price.

I missed a kitchen. It's expensive to eat out every day, a small kitchen would help a lot :D Also, I found the laundry quite expensive.
All the staff were really kind, helped with everything. The pub in the hostel is awesome, beer for a fair price, live music, nice people as well. Definitely the best hostel I've stayed in Dublin.
