    The location and the atmosphere of the hostel was amazing. The staff was very helpful for exchanging coins for bus and I had the best Irish coffee at the bar!!! However, people preparing their suitcases at 3am broke my sleep:(

    Good location I didn't like that you constantly had to push a button to keep the showers on. The water only lasted to 10-15 seconds before it shut off.

    Not noise proof, could hear everything even slight movements in the other's cabins.

    The staff was really nice, while it was slightly out of the centre of the city, the location was still quite good and it was really walkable to go into the centre. Just took me 15 minutes. It was quite clean and overall nice experience.

    Room #209. There is a big useful space just for a chill or packing guest stuff, but there aren't any coache or armchairs or chairs. Both sinks were soldiered. Please unclog sink drains

    I disliked that in a group room, you were limited for time on shower water, where it's expressed about about water efficiency. However, I stayed in a double room for a night and found that I could have a shower for as long as I'd have liked, all afternoon and evening if so chose. So, it feels a bit discriminatory. However, the hostel, staff, events and generally, it was a great experience

    I spent 1 night in female room. I was quite lucky all ladies were quiet and nice. It is very warm inside of the tube. Use light pyjama as it is very hot. For 1 night stay great value for money. However in other rooms there were a lot of kids who were running all night . So I think it depends who are you roommates

    Really good hostel, pricey but gives what is expected for the price: - Really comfortable pods - The bathroom was cleaned thoroughly - The hostel tries to engage the guests with activities and recommendations. Shout out to Maxi in the night shift, with his recommendations for pubs and nightlife in Dublin and helping a lot. As a critique, the chillout room needs a lot more outlets, seriously.

    A great location, comfortable pod in the room - but a bit hot. Secure locker in the room, charging points next to the bed and great free WiFi. Chill out room had a kettle and a microwave which was handy as there was a nearby Lidl to get food. There is a luggage store, but factor in the price as it’s €5 then €1 per hour. I checked out at 10am and had an evening flight.

    No small kitchen to even bake a ready made pizza. The pods are tricky to get into them although they provide some privacy but they could have been streached with such big room they would have the same capacity I do not know who's idea it was I think it is wrong.

    It is perhaps the best hostel in Dublin and beyond. Very clean and big specious rooms, new building well looked after, I never seen anything like that in hostels, even the guests are well behaved. The bathroom is very big and very clean additionally there are toilets and showers outside the room

    The showers last a few seconds only, so you kind of have to lean on the button. Very annoying. It gets hot in the dorms at night. Also, the «chillout room» is horrible - no sink/kitchen, no cutlery, just a very dirty microwave and water kettle (not very handy without water access) in a creepy dark room. Come on, put some pictures on the walls at least, and provide some cleaning stuff so guests can wipe the surfaces…

    Nice pub and café area, very friendly staff. The pods are comfy with good lockers, and the bathrooms are clean. Overall a good experience with good dorms in a good location, but a lot of stuff could be better.

    Shared bathroom was on a different floor, quite hot in the room, shower knob needed to be held in the entire time for water

    Quiet location, comfortable room with large enough pods, great lounge area in the lobby, very close to the tram and bus.

    The showers time out at 15 seconds... yes 15 seconds (per the sign on the wall stating so). It's to conserve water but it is a bit over the top. 30 seconds would be much more enjoyable than the 15 seconds assault of water then standing in the cold. I would probably not return here for that reason alone.

    As someone who hasn't stayed in a hostel before I was pleastly surprised. The beds/pods were quite comfortable and equipped with USB ports and a shelf. There's lockers in the room which you do not need a lock for - you create your own code. I stayed in a 10 pod female only room with one bathroom. I never had an issue waiting for the bathroom. However, there is another larger bathroom provided on the floor with multiple showers and stalls. The breakfast was surprisingly good as well and a good value.

    No fridge, no kettle, no kitchen, no cutlery. Just a microwave in a poorly ventilated "chill out room" that reeks like tobacco, old food and BO. Only one bathroom per shared room, which means you can't use the toilet or the faucet if someone else is showering. Luggage storage is expensive. WiFi is free, but poor signal in the rooms.

    Clean rooms and good location. Pods are comfortable enough with good blackout curtains.

    Nothing to complain about honestly I did not try the breakfast or the bar so no comment.

    Very close to the city center and just off the bus stop coming from the airport. The pods were comfortable, very nice sheets. I stayed in an all female dorm, it was pretty quiet and clean. The pod is not very long but was comfortable, at least in my case but I am only 1.63, there is also an advisory on the wall that the pods can get a bit hot but again not a problem. For people traveling with no set plans the hostel has activities which they post up like walk tours and pub crawls. Reception is open 24h and access to the room is by using a code. There is a bathroom with a shower in the room for 9 beds but at least during my stay this was enough, I was also told there were some more showers if needed on the first floor.

    The only socket next to the bed is a USB - no plug so couldn’t charge your phone if you have a different cable type. Shower in my room kept falling apart & turned off every 10 seconds. The chill out room was pretty bland and could definitely be spruced up a bit.

    Location was pretty central, I liked the privacy of a pod, & the bar downstairs was nice. Lockers in the rooms were big and were coded so you didn’t need a padlock which was great. Bathrooms in the room. Always had social events going on downstairs, so was easy to meet other guests.

    It’s just a minor issue: no control over the heating. After a certain time the heating would turn on high whenever we would open the window. So it became really hot within the little pods.

    Location to city centre and public transport, privacy curtains and lockers with a personal pin code were great. The walls between the beds were somehow thick enough that you wouldn‘t hear your neighbours. Also the ladders and the whole bed construction is so steady that nothing is shaking or moving when someone comes of leaves. Security at the front door and different codes to go up the stairs and into each dorm let me feel really safe.
