    If your room is on a lower floor and the windows are facing the street, it might be quite noisy as the street outside is very busy with a tram running through it.

    Well-kept and clean hostel with very helpful staff. We had an ensuite private room with nice views on the 5th floor. The room was spacious enough for a one night stay and the bathroom was clean with great water pressure in the shower. Option to have breakfast onsite and the hostel had lockers (for a small cost) to store our luggage after check-out. Great location with many lovely restaurants and cafés and a walking distance to most of the tourist spots.

    The power points at the beds did not work (I think a consistent issue) so you had to get a portable charger that didn’t work or use one of the two points in the wall (shared between 12 people). If you book a mixed room, most of the people will be men. The beds were not comfortable and very hard to make.

    The interior of the building was modern. Staff were nice and bathrooms were fairly clean. The location is the best part about it, really close to everything!

    Nothing really. We stayed in a 4 bed dorm which was tight for space however the design of the room, with hooks and storage areas compensates. The bathroom and shower felt practically brand new.

    Great location. Friendly staff. Great facilities. Good breakfast. Friendly, relaxed vibe.

    There was an issue with the bunk light and power point, so unfortunately had to use one of the two only power outlets to charge phone, also issue with one of the lockers, which i did notify the staff about but nothing seemed to be done about it.

    Staff where friendly and bed was comfortable, location is great as its not far off from major parts of Dublin. Also shower and toilet in room so dont have to go out of room to use facilities.

    I wasn't able to charge my phone using the wall socket over my bed.

    I loved the modern quirky decor, and spacious feel to the reception/bar area, and the dining area. Having a curtain at the side of the bed, also plenty of hooks to hang items in the 4 bedded dorm and large designated cupboard space was excellent. Having the bathroom in the room was very welcomeCity centre location was a huge plus. I'll deffo be back! Thank you!

    Way too expensive for what it is. We unknowingly went to Dublin the same weekend as Pride and Taylor Swift and paid out the nose to stay in this austere hostel room. Almost 600$ for a tiny private room.

    Possibly down to the busyness of the hostel but when I reported an issue with my bunk (I.e no privacy curtain), it was logged but not rectified). Didn’t cause too much of an issue as I didn’t spend much time in my bed, but still worth noting

    Convenient location, friendly staff. Excellent transport links and access to shopping, restaurants and recreation (bars/museums)

    Great hostel in very central location - power issues in the beds need to be fixed though

    • Bed in 4- 6 Bed Female Dormitory Room

    - The night light and power outlets in the beds were not working. So we couldn't have light in our beds at night, and if we wanted to charge our phones, we had to share the 2 outlets in the room (shared between 6 people) or ask for a powerbank from reception. Judging by earlier reviews here, it looks like the issue with power not working in beds has been going on for a couple of months now, so I imagined it would have been fixed during this time, but apparently it wasn't. - It seemed strange to me how we had to make our own beds. There were clean bed linen folded on the bed upon checkin, but we had to put them on the bed ourselves.

    - Very clean, new and comfortable - The beds had curtains for privacy - Lockers in the room for luggage (bring your own padlock!) - Separate toilet and shower rooms in the room, so you didn't have to wait until one was free to use the other. Each of them also had a sink. - The hostel is really nice, with social events, including movie nights (although I didn't have time to attend any) - Staff was polite and responsive - Easy check-out - Great, very central location, right next to O'Connell Street and a 5' walk to Temple Bar - Luggage storage available for after checking out

    The laundry is 12 euro...surely this could be subsidized? Not enough luggage storage. Minor complaints: more hooks, places to hang things in the shower, curtains in the bedrooms could be repaired / replaced. Generally a very good experience.

    Location is fantastic, really close to many of Dublin's attractions, the River Liffey, and plenty of pubs and restaurants. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Poured me a pint, gave me some suggestions for a night out, and checked me in efficiently. Considering the number of people that come in and out, they killed it. Expect a queue to check in from 3-4 or so. That being said, there are lots of space to spread those people out if you want a corner to read or work.
