    Great location for nightlife and sightseeing—everything you need is nearby! From top to bottom, the staff is friendly and always ready to assist with anything you need. The place is clean, check-in is easy, and there's a convenient laundry service that works smoothly with the app. I had a private room, but as a hostel, I would rate it a 10 out of 10!

    The dorm room was dirty and there was no cleaning services during 5 days. We had to ask to be cleaned twice. The hallway was also dirty and never vacuumed.

    Wasn’t many toilets and showers considering how many people were on the floors but luckily we didn’t have any issues with having to wait for long.

    The social area was a great space, with staff being super friendly. The rooms were nice, lockers were a good size and beds were comfortable. Was an ideal location, was super close to the Temple Bar District.

    Easily on the Top3 of the WORST hostels I stayed in. I thaught hygene was common decency when staying in a shared room but apparently not. On top of that, the bathrooms are disgusting, even when cleaned 2 times a day (which tells a lot on the people whom use them). Staff kindness is mixed, some of them are great, other really not. Would definitly not recommand or come back.

    There was no shelving or hooks in the bathroom. Even though we were put in the accessible room and it was huge, there was nowhere to put anything when you were showering. There also wasn't a bin in there either which is a must being a girl. The bedroom/ bathroom wasn't clean as in it didn't look they like there vaccumed

    The amenities, the common spaces were good

    Amazing location, right in the centre a walk away from everywhere and the tram (luas) to the station right in front the hostel. We were lucky to be on the 10th floor that offered a beautiful view. Friendly staff. Essential but has everything you need.

    You have to rent towels, but no big deal

    Amazing hostel, very clean, organized and quiet. The bed had curtains that allowed you privacy and the in room lockers were big enough to fit a carry on suitcase and a backpack. The beds were really spacious, comfortable and had a night light and an outlet on it. Is very well located, as well.

    Firstly, check-in is strictly at 15:00 and not a minute earlier, you can do it an hour or two earlier, but for an additional fee. And check-out is until 10:00. Well, a towel, of course, costs money. But what outraged me most was that there are no locks for the drawer to safely store your things. You can buy one from them directly for 7.5 euros. Why don't you indicate such details when booking? That is, in addition to the 56 euros that I paid for one night with 8 people in a room, you also need to pay an extra 7.50 euros! I understand perfectly well that the hostel management decided that they could earn extra money on this too. This is the same as providing a bed, but you have to buy the mattress yourself. But I was also shocked that the bed linen was simply folded on your bed. That is, you will have to take care of your bed yourself. Aren't you ashamed? Let's say a person arrived from abroad, late at night, very tired, and just wants to go to bed! But he needs to turn on the light, wake everyone up and make his bed. Do you think this is normal? Check-out is until 10:00, check-in is at 15:00. Tell me please, why can't the cleaning ladies make the beds in 5 hours? It's like being in prison. Plus the mattresses are just awful, the worst cheap ones there are. Absolutely identical to the hostels for the homeless. The windows overlook a busy street - where you can hear everything and the noise of a tram every three minutes. The beds are very close to the toilet, you can just reach it with your hand. You sleep and listen and smell the pleasant aromas under your nose. And when I approached the girl at the reception and simply explained that it is not nice to take extra money from clients for locks, she made such a displeased face, as if I stole something from her. I have been living in Ireland, in Dublin for more than 15 years, and I understand perfectly well that there is a housing crisis now, but 56 euros per night in an 8-bed room plus 7.
