Close enough to major attractions to walk. Taxi and buses picked right in front

Very kind welcome; usefull information given by (I apologize, but I dont remember his name). Lovely place, I would like to come back.

Antje, Switzerland

The check in hours are very limited so if you arrive too early or too late, they will not be accommodating. The location is good, only a 20ish minute walk from most of the things you would need to go to. For the price, it's a good deal--not super luxurious though.

Zachary, United States of America

location was great... nice place to reach many locations...

Ümran, Turkey

The kitchen was clean and well furnished. The bathroom was small, therefore clean and quite fitting for a short stay.

Markus, Germany

The staff was phenomenal and the room was cozy, and breakfast was delicious!

Lana, Slovenia

Really great value for money as compared to many other places in Dublin. And a simple breakfast of toast and coffee and tea is included too! Towels and linen provided, which are a bonus! The hostel is directly opposite St Kevin's Church and it takes about 15mins walk into the centre. Dublin is pretty small and walkable, so it's no issue. Also, friendliest staff ever! Always helpful and up for a chat! :)

Audrey, Singapore

The hostel was good and served our purpose. The manager was delightful. We reserved a room with twin beds, but got a bunk bed instead. That made for some laughs.

Patricia, United States of America

The bed was very comfortable. The views from the bedroom were really nice because we could saw the street with plenty of trees. The bedrooms are as depicted in the pictures. Everything was clean. The hostel was well located, as Dublin is a small city everything is in a walking distance.

Mari, Spain

Mattress and bedding was excellent. 2 great nights sleep and very good value.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“the nice and pleasant atmosphere of the hostel, and the great location, very close to downtown area of Dublin (you can reach there in a short walking distance)”

pcfernandez
Brazil

Brazil

“Virtually everything. It was clean & comfortable & much too charming to be considered a hostel. The only hostel-like attributes were the use of twin beds in our triple room, the limited hours for hot water, & the ability to use the kitchen. Other than that, it was much more like a B&B than a hostel. Urve, who ran the place until yesterday, was so friendly & helpful. I hope the owners are able to find someone as competent as she was.”

Karen

“Friendly staff, breakfast included, perfect location.”

눇They changed the price of the hostel from what was stated on booking.com saying that it was the conversion rate that changed! Then they said I would have to pay cash as their card machine was not working.

Okay

눉Though I knew this was a "budget" room when I booked, I still expect a certain level of cleanliness. There was quite a bit of mold on in the shower that had been sort of covered up with tape, and also on the wall just outside the shower. Other than that, the room was probably what you can expect for the price - suitable just to sleep in, but not great.

눉We had to pay an extra price of 45 € for the late check in, instead of the 30€ proposed on the booking page. Staff was really unkind and even annoyed by the well-paid late check-in. Rooms are really old style, hot water is limited to certain hours and towels were not very clean.

눉The staff contact us on the last day (hours before), and he complained because we didn´t answer him (we didn´t had internet and also we were on plane), so he step out when we came with an angry face and tell us in a rude way that we had a 30 euros fine. Also the room was awful, and the beds were too tiny. Also, the breakfast was not good. Not recommended.

눉The shower switch for hot and cold water was positioned in the opposite direction than it should have been, so we thought we had no hot water, but the staff helped us figure it out. The internet was down a few times, but fine overall.
눇The staff was phenomenal and the room was cozy, and breakfast was delicious!

“Quite and well located”

눉You can't pay with your credit card (althoug in its booking page you can see you can do it). I told the staff that but he told me the payment machine didn't have paper. But in the desk there is a sign that says that at the moment you can't pay with card (but I reckon this sign is always there). So be aware of that. You have to use the ATM machine just around the corner and pay extra charges for withdrawing your money. Breakfast is not very tasty. You can choose from cereals, toast, coffee, milk and orange juice. I'll say for the price is good.
눇The bed was very comfortable. The views from the bedroom were really nice because we could saw the street with plenty of trees. The bedrooms are as depicted in the pictures. Everything was clean. The hostel was well located, as Dublin is a small city everything is in a walking distance.
