The location is the best you can find in all the hostels in Dublin. Situated right next to a main bus stop that operates into wee hours of night, there you can go almost everywhere in Dublin. Also, it is conveniently located around the sightseeing parts of Dublin, including the famous Temple Bar. Everything you need is within walking premises, thus not much Uber fee is needed. Staffs are very accommodating and kind. They try their best to cater to your need, give information, and help.

The luck on the roommates may not be the best. Some of the roommates had a habit of sleeping with a podcast on, and it was not nice to sleep with the sound of a crime news. Also, the ventilation of the room may not be the best, and it can get a little stuffy in the room.

I liked that I was able to choose a smaller and female only dorm. Would have been nice if the shower and toilet were separate, but the group in the room managed okay I suppose. Room was on Liffey side above Riot bar so quite noisy, but as I had expected outside noise and snoring roommates, my stay wasn't bad at all. The second night I actually enjoyed the band playing at Riot, from the comfort of my bed! Bathroom could use some TLC as it was a small space with no window and limited ventilation, so sensitive to mould. Lockers in the room were perfect, glad I thought of bringing a padlock. Did not use the kitchen or common room. I felt safe and comfortable during my stay. Due to circumstances I booked the hostel out of necessity, but if needed I'd stay here again on my next visit to Dublin.

The electricity of my bed was on and off, but since I was able to manage charging my devices otherwise, I did not report the issue to staff. Mattress was quite hard and the room was a bit hot and sweaty, but I stayed during a warmer week with very high humidity. The room could use some more storage space for coats and towels. Bathroom could use some planchets so all 6 women can actually put down their toiletries.

The location is perfect. Minutes from Temple Bar, within walking distance to the Guinness Storehouse, Trinity College and other interesting sites. The airport shuttle bus dropped us off nearby on Aston Quay. To catch the 700 bus back to the airport a few days later, it was very easy to walk to the nearby bus stop on Westmoreland Street around the corner. Staff are friendly and provided us with a nice big paper map of Dublin to give us an overview.

There were no usb chargers in the room, however, staff were kind enough to loan us a plug adapter so we could charge our phones using a wall plug.

The hostel is located in an ideal popular location in Dublin centre. They're bunk beds in dorms which have ensuite shower and toilet. There are also 2 toilets and 2 sinks in the downstairs communal area. There is use of the kitchen for cooking up to a certain time at night, thereafter for tea/coffee etc. Free tea and coffee are provided for residents. The kitchen areas are clearly labelled.

I don't know if waste items are supposed to be separated for recycling and it doesn't seem to say anywhere what goes in what bin. Even if everything goes in the same bin it would be helpful to label the bins that way as most people are used to separating recycling now.

Staff are great. The location is great. Facilities as expected for a hostel. Kitchen available with all the appliances. There is a mini mart ( centra ) that is open 24/7, and is steps from the hostel. They have a coffee shop there called Frank & Honest that I frequented. Walking distance to busses and other forms of transportation. There are laundry facilities nearby. All American laundry has self-service and takes cards.

Street noise, smokers outside the hostel at all hours. Nothing they have control over. The walls are thin between rooms, and some people return late from drinking and are quite loud.

We stayed in three different rooms as we spend two separate weekends in Dublin and booked an additional night later on for which only a dorm room was available. What bothered us in the dorm is that the light switches for the toilet and shower are pretty well hidden and there was a bit of commotion every time someone wanted to use either which kept interrupting our sleep. The first double room was facing the street and super noisy - as it was on the first floor and directly next to the bus station, the busses' passengers looked directly into our room. We asked for a quieter room for the second stay and that was much better as it was looking out onto the alley behind the building. No breakfast available but a well-equipped kitchen and free tea, coffee, cocoa and milk to prepare your own.

The noise in the rooms facing the street and river was super annoying.

The location is excellent, right in the city centre and near train and bus stations. The facilities were very clean, especially the kitchen and also the bathroom. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

The beds were comfortable enough for the price you are paying, but the pillows were way too soft. We had to ask for a second pillow (which the hostel provided free of charge) but it was still uncomfortable. The cages under the beds were also not very convenient since they were noisy and you had to sit on the floor to sort out your luggage. I think lockers are a better option.

Exceeded expectations. Everything had been thought of. Security with padlock by bed but also locker by front desk. No nickel and timing eg free coffee tea hot chocolate free kitchen fridge freezer. Location was SUPER convenient in compact city where a few minutes walking or bus always required yet you wsnt to pack in a zillion activities. Cleaning agents in bathroom. Everything nice and clean. There is mild street noise by talking pedestrians outside waiting for bus, but I was too tired for it to interrupt my sleep. No noise from roommates because staff created a congenial atmosphere

It's important to note than more bodies e.g.12 bed can be distracting. I choose to upgrade to more relaxing 3 bed for a trivial few dollars more. Priceless. Only concrete issue is they need to upgrade showers handle which is too touchy making relaxing shower suddenly too hot/cold if you bump it

Great spot right in the city center! The room was clean. The bathroom was nice and tidy (even though it was shared by 11 other roommates), but bring your own shower gel as they only provide hand soap. You can get a towel from reception for 1 euro, which is handy. The bed was comfy with clean sheets, and I appreciate the USB c charger built into the bed (remember your EU adapter if needed). There's a small kitchen area where you can whip up simple meals, perfect for saving some money. The location is really convenient, especially if you have an early flight. You can catch the 16 Airport bus at 6:10 AM near Trinity College, or take the Dublin Airport coach just across the bridge. Both are an easy walk away. Overall, it's a good choice if you want a clean, central place to stay without breaking the bank. Just remember to pack your shower gel and maybe a towel if you don't want to rent one. The kitchen and great location make up for the few missing amenities. I'd stay here again, especially for the perfect city center spot and easy airport access.

The beds weren't very comfortable, especially the bunk beds. I stayed for one night, and while it was manageable, the small gap between the bunks was an issue. If you're tall like me, you'll find it difficult to sit up on the lower bunk without having to lean your head out.

The staff was very friendly and helpful all the time and they provided all the assistance needed for a first-timer in Dublin. Very good if you travel with friends and book an entire room for all of you. That was not the case for me tho, I travelled alone and my choice was the 8 bed mixed dormitory which somehow got instantly "upgraded" when I checked in so I got the 6 bed mixed dormitory for the same price, not bad! The location of the hostel is very good if you want to explore the city center and surrounding areas. The bus station is literally at the entrance and if you come from the Airport you need to get off at Aston Quay. Stayed here for 3 nights at the beginning of February and the room was very warm all the time, you can open the windows if that's too hot for you. The water pressure and the temperature was very good. Tip 1: Bring a padlock with you, you'll need it so you can secure your belongings in the metal basket which you'll find under the bed. Lockers are also provided downstairs but they will cost you extra, if you don't have anything really really valuable like laptops, jewelry or stuff like that, the metal basket secured with the padlock is more than enough! Tip 2: If you wanna party, don't drink in the area,, the beer and everything is big time overpriced (8-10€ for a pint) and if your father is not a millionaire you should go to The Silver Penny which is only about 10 min walk and the beer and the food is VERY AFFORDABLE for everyone (MAX 5€ a pint) Personally I give the hostel a strong 8 out of 10.

They could improve the doors on the rooms so they don't wake up the whole floor when you open and close the door because no matter how quiet you try to be, the doors are making a lot of noise. The next suggestion is a little bit more privacy while you stay in bed, something like a curtain which covers the side of the bed so you can use your phone or read a book during the evening without disturbing the whole room because of the light.
