    It was quite hot, temperature wise, heat was still on and it was very mild weather

    Breakfast wasn't provided, little cafe place was not open very often and location was a bit out of the way for what we did but manageable.

    Dublin is an expensive city so considering i paid for a bed and shower, I still found the hostel a little pricey. There was one day when there was no water pressure in the shower and the few drops of water that dripped from the shower head were scorching hot. Also be prepared that there are no lifts - only stairs. I would have also appreciated at least a table / chairs in the rooms or perhaps even a mirror? It only has the beds with power sockets and nothing else.

    The location is good - about 10 - 15 minutes from O'Connell street and about 20 minutes from Trinity College. So great for those who want to explore Dublin on a reasonable budget. The staff were helpful. The place is kept clean and there are lockable drawers under your bed.

    The staff there was so kind! Thank you for your kindness! And I found some comments on booking.com that some users couldn’t enjoy hot water in the shower room, but in my case, I could take hot water of shower.

    Easily the best hostel I've ever stayed in. It was clean. I really liked the pods and in fact, I paid for a room with 2 bed pods and there was actually no one in the second pod so essentially I had the room to myself. It was great. Even if I didn't the pod gave a good amount of privacy. There's a mirror and a coat hook in the room and also you have a private light and single plug socket but if you look around there are also other plug sockets around the room.

    The steps up to the top bunk pods are painful to climb and in the room I moved to on the last night there was an awful high-pitched buzzing coming out of the socket in my bed pod, it made it difficult to sleep

    The beds are quite comfortable and nice little private pods with blackout curtains

    Bunk bed conditions (noisy and poorly fitted structure, the curtains were constantly falling down). One of the bathrooms was not so clean, but because of people, not cleaning service.

    Was not put in correct room as advertised, was expecting a private room for 4 friends. Staff said the it was overbooked so we had to be moved into a different room, not a big deal but would just be good if this could have been communicated. This is just because of the security of personal belongings and being in a room where strangers had potential access to our property.

    Clean place and staff helpful.

    The hostel has no lifts but many floors. So it would be very helpful for moving heavy luggage from floor to floor. The kitchen could be more equipped. It has no stove to cook. Just electric ovens and boiler. No chance to cook some pasta or veg. And I consider it very important the kitchen in a hostel. It helps a lot to have the possibility to cook your meal.

    The Hotel in general was clean. Toilets very clean and big. The room is fine but the curtains falls every time I wanted to close/open.

Quiet safe clean rooms, solid enclosed bunks with a comfy mattress, shelf, light and charger inside the bunk and a curtain to for privacy. Also a locker/drawer under the bunk for stuff.

    Being big and relatively cheap for Dublín standards, it always hosts irrespectful people who can make your stay worse, people who make noises, do not clean the common equipment, steal food, etc...

    Beds are inside wooden boxes, which in shared rooms allows you to isolate from annoyances and relax...

    The pictures on advertisement for location do not match up with the reality of the location. This was disappointing. Didn’t care for the location of hostel. But just tried to be careful walking around late at night.

    Bed was absolutely clean and comfortable. Comforter was soft and thick. Bunk Bed alcove with light made you feel private.

    Well, I would expect a more party-ish atmosphere in such a cool place, they should organize some events in that space, it felt a bit...deserted. Too quiet.

    It is located in an old church/hospital wing, I think, a pretty interesting location. The distance to the ceiling is huge, generous space, and also a student accommodation. Common space is great, pool darts and ping pong. One can buy awesome coffee and breakfast items in the morning. Couple of vending machines, too. Beds are private, closed, I felt like cool count Dracula. In your coffin, you have a lamp, a socket, and a shelf for personal items. It closes with a black curtain. Overall, combined with the church/hospital feeling, pretty Gotham-ish vibe. Retro, special vibe. It's definitely a special place. I expected to meet Batman, the Joker or Bram Stoker around. Clean bathrooms and showers. Big kitchen/ mess hall with all the necessary food accessories/ fridges/ microwaves/ toasters etc.

    At first we all freaked out when there was no water. However, in the end all this water sharing with each other and trying to somehow manage is just an adventure to remember :)

    I liked the location which is not far from centre. I liked how big and divided this hostel was. I liked that before it had been a church :) I liked the people who I met and was sharing room with as for me this entire experience was literally life-changing.
