Zachary, Ireland

Great staff and service but too expensive for the basic hotel it is.

Sara, Italy

The room was set up very well and I had plenty of space for my things. I loved the little outlets/USB ports in the light bar of each bed. It was very convenient. Since I was alone I was a little worried about getting bored, but I met some people staying in the room that I ended up hanging out with for the night and we had a lot of fun!

Abby, Senegal

-every bed had outlets and a light along with a privacy curtain. Roll away storage that could be locked underneath the bunks. Highly secure. Modern looking bathrooms. Plentiful common area space with many outlets and table space.

Alexander, United States of America

Complementary breakfast was good. Location was excellent. Easy to meet people. Common areas were really nice. Relaxed atmosphere. Fun place to stay overall.

Hilary, Canada

The location was very good and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The coffee and toast in the morning was good. The bed and pillows were very comfortable 😊

Pamela, United States of America

The hostel is in an excellent location . It is literally 2 mins from the Luas and Bus Aras and 5 mins from Connolly Rail and Dart station . The staff were lovely . The beds spotless. A lovely common area and dining room . Towels in room . Nice breakfast .

Pauline, Ireland

A well run hostel, a cut above the average for Dublin in terms of facilities. A substantial continental breakfast if you've got time to do it justice. Curtains over the bunks is a nice touch. Excellent value for money and a first class location almost next door to the main bus station and tram stop and over the road from Connolly main line station. Some good bars nearby or you can walk to Temple bar for the full works. Try the Porterhouse - they brew their own beer. My session there probably had something to do with why I nearly missed breakfast! Excellent craic. O' Connell Street not far way and the shopping area beyond that are all walkable.

Tim, United Kingdom

Very secured hotel, nice staffs n great facilities. Location is quite convenient since its within walking distance. Easy to go airport wt airlink bus which only 5 minutes away frm hostel.

Gi_gi, United Kingdom

Large rooms, great location, easy to check in/out, soft beds (and you don't need to take the sheets, etc off in the morning :-)) and the bathroom was large and clean.

눉Bunk beds felt unstable and they squeaked a lot. Wifi was intermittent and merely available in the rooms. That is not a bad thing unless you need to make travel plans and bookings.
눇In my short stay of one night here is what I noticed: Equipped with lockable wired basket under the beds to store packs. Friendly and helpful staff. Dorms of 4 have their own bathroom. Near bus and train station. Good breakfast included ( white and brown bread, cereals, muesli, yoghurt, tea, coffee, juice etc). Surprisingly quiet at night. For those who have no plans, the staff is eager and happy to offer suggestions and help arrange them. The hostel also has tickets for pub crawls- if this is your thing. Mostly walkable to most attractions. Of course that is if you don't mind walking one to 5 km. Mind you, with the hectic traffic in high season it is faster than the bus.

눉seating at a premium for breakfast at times, get there early ! check your directions carefully to find it the first night, lots of people will assist though, a friendly part of town.
눇Croissants ? Not on the menu, but bread was fresh ! Location was above average for getting around on foot or to catch public transport. Ask about any tickets you are considering, front desk has discounts ! Linens clean, felt safe. We had a private room with own bathroom/shower, pay a bit extra...but quite nice.

눉My first night there I came back to find another person passed out in my bed with vomit on him and beer cans everywhere. When I went to talk to the staff they fixed the situation but never did anything to make up for it. Even when I booked my next couple of nights and had my flight cancelled, they weren't willing to budge and credit me my nights back. I understand the rules I would just imagine if you had one night ruined they would be a bit more lenient in terms of crediting you back.
눇The staff was very nice

눇Big but great hostel, right behind the Conolly train station. Big room (six bed mixed dorm). Impeccably clean and big bathroom and room, comfy bed, clean sheets. Power outlet with USB port. Big, clean, well-equipped common areas. It is located next to a Garda station :)

눉The card keys to get in and out of the room and to access the elevator and kitchen area didn't work several times. The staff were very helpful and recoded, but it was a drag to recode several times.
