    I didn’t expect luxury for the price, but this hostel was truly shocking. Cleanliness was non-existent—everything was dirty, smelly, and downright disgusting. The room itself was okay in size, but the window didn’t seal properly, so it was freezing cold and drafty all night. The bed was so filthy that I woke up puffy and uncomfortable every morning. The atmosphere was equally unsettling, with very strange guests who made the place feel more like a shelter than a hostel. It was impossible to feel relaxed or safe. Overall, this was by far the worst hostel experience I’ve ever had. Avoid at all costs!

    The Apache Hostel should be **regulated and closed down** due to its unacceptable conditions. The lack of cleanliness, cold temperatures, and absence of proper ventilation create an unhealthy environment for guests. This reflects poorly on the tourism industry in Ireland and Dublin, highlighting a need for stricter regulations and inspections. It's disappointing that such establishments can operate without adequate oversight, tarnishing the reputation of Ireland as a welcoming tourist destination. Immediate action is essential to ensure that all hostels meet basic health and safety standards for visitors.

    I had a terrible experience at Apache Hostel. The place was **absolutely disgusting**—cold, dirty, and reeking of unpleasant odors. The lack of windows or proper ventilation made it feel claustrophobic and stuffy, which was unbearable. The bathrooms were filthy, and the overall hygiene was appalling. I felt unsafe and uncomfortable throughout my stay, and I strongly advise anyone considering this hostel to **avoid it at all costs**. It’s not worth the money or the health risks associated with such a neglected environment.

    Down stairs is a pizza restaurant and it’s so dirty when you go down and you can not have a good place to put your luggage or to take a rest. Because they don’t have lounge, so the only thing you can do when back to hostel is to stay at your room.

    The location is really really good.

    The woman who manages the place is not there at night, there is no staff available through the night. She is the most rude person Iv ever encountered. I would not recommend staying here.

    Location is the only thing this place has going for it.

    the beds are horrible, just too old. there's no sign to identify the hostel. There was a guy living there for 2 years, he stank so bad and he felt like he owned the room. Don't trust the pictures, they are old. There's no terrace!!

    the location was good, and that's the ONLY positive aspect.

    Not necessarily a dislike, but it’s paired with the pizzeria next door of the same name. The staff from the pizzeria may have to come grab you if the receptionist is out.

    Fantastic location! Right by the Temple bar district but not on an actual bar street and super close to a Spar grocery store. A simple place but a great value.

    I had a very disappointing experience at this hostel. Upon arriving at 11 PM, I was only allowed into my room two hours later because my key had been mistakenly assigned to another guest. It's incredibly frustrating to wait so long for a bed after a long journey. The room I was placed in had no windows, which created a very uncomfortable atmosphere. Additionally, the bathroom was not clean – definitely unacceptable for a hostel. When I attempted to check in again on another day, I realized that I had booked for the wrong day. I politely asked for a room and requested a cancellation with a refund, as the hostel could now rent my originally booked bed for a significantly higher price. Unfortunately, I received no response. After the disappointing experience of my first night, I had hoped for some accommodation from the hostel, but that was not the case. Overall, I cannot recommend this hostel. It lacks organization, cleanliness, and customer service.

    Shared bathrooms for private rooms - but still not complaining £ wise was decent enough 🤗

    It's a cheap hostel but it is IN the middle of everything. We popped in to change / sleep, it was comfortable & for the area compared to hotels price wise was good. It was just what we needed for a boozy weekend.

    We opted for late check in however no one was there to let us in. We were standing in the street with all our belongings until a fellow guest opened the door for us and a worker from the pizza place next door gave us our key.

    The location was very convenient and central. Only a 5-10 minute walk to Temple bar and other restaurants. The room was very spacious and the shared facilites were well kept.
