Price, Location, 24 hour reception, safe room for bags, zero tolerance policy on guests smoking, drinking, and a strict "quiet hours". Perfect for traveling workers.
Needs some general upkeep and maintenance - general sanding and painting, and a regular carpet steam clean. Bathrooms could come with a mop to allow guests soak up wet floors, and somewhere to hang towels. Kitchen is guest's responsibility but rules need to be enforced.

Great location, very clean hostel. Comfortable beds, plugs and lamp for each bed, big bathroom. Good wi-fi and nice common area.
The kitchen is messy and there is no space in the fridges. FYI: Early check-in is 10€. Leaving the bag after check-out is 5€.

The room was clean and spacious. The location is really nice,hipster and central to St stephens green, Grafton Street etc. Most of the staff were very helpful and lovely.
I think the hostel is next to a night club or something, there was some noise during the night. One of the staff members at the reception was so rude on my first day of checking in.Not the two staff members who checked me in on both ocassions but the man was sitting next to them. He had no basic etiquette of how to deal with people politely. (This is one staff member though, everyone else was really nice)

The excellent location provided with the cozy rooms available made me value the property highly. Significantly, the staff made a great impression in terms of maintaining great balance between formality and customer care. Staff members like Adrian, Jose were very hospitable, supportive and professional, such as Devika and Sara who were hospitable and professional as well.
It would be nice to have curtains in the beds but other than that, all rooms are en-suite and quite comfortable.

The mattresses were very hard. Strange smell in the room like cat wee but obviously wasn’t.

The female dormitory was super clean and the ensuite bathroom as well. The staff were also super helpful as I left my luggage for the day after check-out. They also assisted me with directions to the airport Aircoach bus stop which I couldn’t easily find on google maps.
Only the bathtub worked which is tricky for a dormitory shared amongst 6 people, even if we were all female. The shower had a problem. Also, it would be great to have outside bathrooms as an option as there was a long wait in the morning as all six of us sought to use it. However, upon finding out about the shower not working, the staff moved everyone to a room that had a working shower. The room I stayed in was on 2nd floor and so there was lots of stairs to climb with luggage in hand. Accessibility via a lift the other side of the building.

All of the problems mentioned in earlier reviews seem to have been ironed out. I stayed in a 10 bed dorm and it was a very comfortable stay. The room itself was large so it never felt crowded, even with 10 beds. The bathroom was also very large and both the room and bathroom were very clean. There weren't many people in the common area so there wasn't much of an atmosphere there but it was clean and comfortable too There is a kitchen with a microwave, two ovens, a dishwasher, two fridges and a sink and a kettle so plenty there for anyone who wants to cook their own food. Staff were friendly and very helpful and the location is great. I would recommend this hostel to others.
I was happy with everything and had no complaints.

Very friendly staff, excellent location, beautiful hostel (very huge, it is quite an adventure to find your room and i liked that!). Bed was comfy, met nice people in the room.
In the bathroom, there is too hot temperature for my taste, so I think staff can decrease it, cause it doesn’t has to be necessary that warm. Depending on the day, but sometimes there is a loud club till late on the street right in the area of the hostel, but that’s something that guests have to count on since the hostel is located in the very centre of the city.
