    No Lift, Coffin Beds and Freezing Cold!
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in 6-Bed Female Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 5 nights

    There’s no lift! So it’s an absolute nightmare to get your luggage up the long flights of stairs, especially if you are staying on the third floor. So bring little luggage – in fact, don’t bring any luggage at all because just getting yourself up the stairs is a difficult challenge. Everyone I met there complained that there was no lift. Whatever you do, don’t stay in room 00. There is no toilet or bathroom on that floor. So if you need the loo in the middle of night, prepare for a trek up to the second floor or down to the basement. In that room, it’s also filthy dirty between the coffin beds and the walls. I saw a used condom and nearly gagged!! I couldn’t even put my bag down so I slept with it on my bed. Don’t stay there in autumn, spring and winter or in fact, whenever it’s cold which are many days in the Irish summer. The hostel is in a very old building which only has single glazed windows, windows that don’t close properly, drafts from every direction and dark rooms. The kitchen and eating area down in the basement are cold even in the summer on the warmest days.

    Nothing!

    Very Dodgy Area, No Irish and Noisy Construction Works
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in 9-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The hostel is located in a very, very bad area. It’s just off Parnell Street which is infamous for drug dealing, drunks and danger. So do not venture out in the evening / night unless you want to be stabbed or robbed!! You will also have to dodge the vomit in the streets which is a results of people drinking too much alcohol. If you are hoping to meet Irish people (as one would visiting Ireland) in the hostel, you’ve got very little chance. They only hire Brazilians to work there as the owners are Brazilian. This is against Irish employment law to not hire any Irish citizens. They also take preference to Brazilian guests. If the hostel is full, they’ll first accommodate the Brazilians before any other nationality. This is racist and biased. Don’t sleep past 7am if you don’t want to be woken up by noisy construction works across from the hostel at the back. This carries on all day long from Monday to Friday. You will hear a lot of jack hammers which is the loudest of construction equipment as they are demolishing before they rebuild.

    Nothing!

    There are always people smoking marijuana in the garden area at the back. You can even buy it in the hostel from the other guests. This is illegal in Ireland and the staff know about it but just turn a blind eye. Also, the garden area at the back is always dirty. Littered with cigarette butts, rubbish, empty beer bottles and used mugs. The overflowing ashtrays are never cleaned except by the guests. So if you don’t smoke, don’t venture into the back garden, it’s very unpleasant. In all the time I was there, the cleaners only cleaned the garden area once.

    Nothing!

    Nothing to report!

    Hostel receptionists were welcoming and kind. I most enjoyed the cosy bed! Most fluffy cover and most comfortable bed I could have imagined! I like the sense of security I felt in the hostel (they have a night guard) and cleanliness.

    Some staff were quiet rude and unhelpful on the desk. If you’re on the top bunk of three, it is quite scary and dangerous trying to climb down in the morning with your stuff. Can get very hot in beds with limited airflow.

    Beds were very private. Croke Park was a five minute walk away so I could hear Coldplay playing from bed.

    My friend and I spent one night on the top bunk of a triple bunk bed. I was really glad it was only for one night. Unlike the other two beds below, the top bunk was surrounded by plywood on all sides, with access via a ladder at the foot side of the bed. Although there was a small window on the long side of the bed, it was incredibly hot and stuffy. I couldn’t sleep at all.

    Poor service and terrible facilities, no where to safety put bags in the room and very limited space, and super overcrowded. The top bunk is like a coffin with a tiny breathing hole so I opted not to stay there for all of these reasons. No reasoning and no partial refund offered even after explaining the situation. Terrible service.

    Everything was wonderful and beautiful except for the employee (Alfredo). He was so bad, he found a problem for every solution. I recommend that the administration talk to him and look into his matter, and if he does not improve his behavior, they expel him because he gives a bad impression of the place. Thank you.

    The accommodation was comfortable and the place was very clean. Everything was very nice I want to thank the manager (YAN) for helping us I want to thank the reception staff JO AO BIANCA

    I didn't realise there was no lift. I had a room on the 3rd floor, so this was a bit problematic for me, as I'm not as fit as once was! I was advised i could leave my bags in the luggage room, but I needed to repack my things b4 taking the boat home. Otherwise, there were no other issues.

    Great size room nice comfortable bunk bed plenty of place to store your valuables. Perfect for a short stop or even a few nights I'm guessing would be fine. The shower was lovely and warm & powerful too; refreshing after a long day's travelling. The hostel is very well located for sightseeing and I'll definitely come back one day when I'm next in Dublin.
