I stayed in single private room with twin beds. Both times I stayed (end of April and May) in this hostel I was satisfied. Hostel is located by main street so it is understandable that the street noise is inevitable.The staff is really helpful and kind, only the cleanliness should be improved-one time my bed sheets had to be replaced. Other than that when staying in single room I strongly recommend this hostel.

The room I always book is great

The hostel is nice and is close to the center.
The service of cleaning is good.
If you want enjoy Dublin and don't s spend too much i reccomend to come here. You won't regreat.The rooms are big and the beds are really confortable.
There is a nice Kitchen and a nice living room where you can meet people. 


Enjoy the hostel

The location is the best part, but they really need to do something about the rooms. One bed was falling apart. The other one was dirty and full of hair. Pillows were dirty and the hairdryer was not working at all. Very dirty place. I had an amazing time in Dublin but will never come back there.

Good location, but horrible conditions!

I didn't have great expectations, but even then I was disappointed with my stay.
We had a private room with a double and single bed booked with my mum. The window in our bedroom didn't close properly (on one side it was about 5 cm open and wouldn't close). The single bed where I slept was right next to the window ao I felt cold air blowing on me all night and I kept waking up a few times becase of the cold.

The bathroom needs a bit of TLC - there was mould on the wall and the tiles on the floor were not fixed properly and moved as you stepped on them, also the mirror in the bathroom wasn't cleaned enough.

The staff at the reception were nice and let us know as soon as we could check in, also stored our luggage while we were waiting for the room to be ready.

We were only looking for a place to sleep for a few hours, so I guess it did the job, but for the price we paid I expected more even from a hostel. I don't think I would return here.

Not very impressed...

Actually stayed June 2016 after a missed flight. Only remembered this place after spotted it again on a recent visit. This is a real experience: ants, junkies, receptionist with matted hair and a matted attitude. Jobbies floating in toilets last flushed in 1895. Black mould enough to kill Alexander's armies. The hair of a thousand heads mingling on floors a brush rarely has the honour of sweeping. A kitchen by name but the very opposite of what one is meant to be. A location whete you wouldn't be surprised if zombies got you in the middle of the night. At least your misery would end.

Feel the Fear

Booked an ensuite room with my sister. Shower in room wouldn't work at all and the toilet wouldn't flush. Room like a furness and couldn't open the window. Walls are paper thin. The bathroom itself was just disgusting, I left my shoes on at all times as there were loose tiles everywhere.
When I complained about the facilities the manager Miguel simply laughed in our faces, so ignorant and didn't even apologise to us. 
Avoid this hostel at all costs, I know it's one of the cheaper options in the city but there is a reason for this!!

Disgusting!

We went with some friends to spend five days in Dublin. The staff of the hostel is very rude and unfriendly. The first day, there was no hot water in the building, and heating didn’t work in five days. The beds are also uncomfortable. The third day, the receptionist was in the entrance with two drunken friends and they annoyed us during the dinner. The worst experience in a very long time. I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy.

The worst hostel in Dublin

This place is disgusting and horrible. Nothing else to say except that I am still expecting to have some kind of weird disease pop up because of this place. This is one step above a trap house if I ever saw one. 

Almost not even worth it to write this...

I booked my trip to Dublin in rush and I stupidly didn't read the reviews before. BIG MISTAKE. My room was in another building across the courtyard wich at least save me from using the only bathroom in the main building. Disgusting. Not that the other one was any better. Toilet seats broken, no mirror, no hooks anywhere to hang your stuff. Window next to my bedroom was broken and consequently freezing air coming through. Noisy train right outside and MOLD EVERYWHERE. Didn't have the guts to go to the kitchen or shared area. Only pro was the position close to temple bar and price around 60 euro for 3 nights, but apparently the other rooms are not so cheap for the same conditions. Avoid it!
