Harrington House Hostel

Traveler photo of Dublin by Amanda

Probably location was the only positive thing about the hostel, the rest were below my expectations.

Ivan, Poland

(Aside from the incident) As hostels go, this neither exceeded or fell below my expectations. The triple room was spacious enough for the 3 of us (eventhough the shower didn't drain), the hostel itself is in a great location and the breakfast did the job.

Natalie, United Kingdom

It was near restaurants and pabs, walking distance from the center of Dublin..

Stavroula, Greece

It's been ok if you don't have any expectation at all, but it wasn't clean and our room hasn't got a window...

Good location, staff were helpful in helping us find where we were going

Decent location, affordable but you get what you pay for

Good location Nice street and nice location when coming/ going to tje airport

Antonio, Austria

The hostel was near the city centre, nevertheless it was very quiet.

Mónika, Hungary

Staff were friendly. But conveniently it was cash only payment when arrived for the stay in this extremely overly priced, run down and scruffy place.

Lynsey, United Kingdom

Comfy beds and shower was both hot and good pressure. Room size was good too, but would be too "personal" if staying with people I don't know. Distance to Temple Bar was spot on, only 20 minute walk and lots of places to get food on way home from town :)

눉The lock was very old and used, the door was ratteling, TV did not work. Breakfast was really poor. Wi-fi signal was quite bad at the upper floor. You can live with these things, but they do impact overall impression.

“Worked OK for us”
- • Business trip
- • Family with young children
- • Twin Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉Can be a bit warmer up there on warm days. Windows don’t stay open without banging. U need to improvise. For our currency A$ it’s expensive as we pay $1.6 for the Euro so $110p/nite is a lot for hostel type accommodation. 25 min walk to centre. Disappointing was wifi didn’t really work..intermittent reception and that included breakfast area. Garden at rear was a bleak space with table/chairs but no garden at all just a place people smoked and drank. TV had no reception at all so we assume that was same for other rooms but Alton discounted out tariff slightly to compensate. We suggest that access to kitchen outside 12-9pm would mean you could get coffee/ tea or simple foods snacks.
눇Location, bus stop. Private shower. Found location easily from airport by bus 16 which drops right outside Alton the owner kindly upgraded us to a better room (no 1) top floor- more space. BREAKFAST: Cereal and toast/jam is something to started the day I guess. Largely if the place was maintained it could be quite a decent stay. Worked OK for us

“Do not stay here - I had to call the garda! ”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Triple Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Do not stay here!!!! I had to call the garda at 1am because the room next door to us was having a serious domestic situation which escalated and woke up most of the hostel. The manager was nowhere to be found eventhough he supposedly lives in the room on the landing (apparently he had been seen earlier drunk out of his mind). The doors to the hostel were wide open and random people were just coming in and out which left us all feeling extremely unsafe. As it turns out, this hostel accepts council/homeless families when they have rooms available, and this was an unfortunate situation where real problems followed them to the hostel and escalated out of control. I DO NOT expect to turn up at a hostel and be subjected to this unsafe environment ESPECIALLY without being forewarned. There SHOULD NOT be a mixture of holiday makers and real life families with real life problems. Also, THE MANAGER HAD AN ATTITUDE PROBLEM from the second we were greeted at the door, having not responded to any of my emails prior to arriving about checking in. Other (single female) guests said that on their arrival he had tried to make passes at them which made them feel uncomfortable.
눇(Aside from the incident) As hostels go, this neither exceeded or fell below my expectations. The triple room was spacious enough for the 3 of us (eventhough the shower didn't drain), the hostel itself is in a great location and the breakfast did the job.

눉WiFi never worked, shallow shower barely drained after 45 mins so you better hope you took a quick one, absolutely no hot water, toilet could only be flushed once every 15 mins, TV didn't work, room was hot and stuffy, staff with an attitude was hard to contact and rarely at the front desk, breakfast was bread with butter and jelly sometimes corn flakes. Room looked run down and in serious need of a refresh / clean the cobwebs please. Walls paper thin and could hear neighbors all night. Will not stay here again
