The “cages”/lockers under the beds were very uncomfortable and noisy… you would eake everybody up if you needed to take something out. Very little space in the room for your things

It was LOVELY! As long as you know going in that it’s a hostel and you’re going to have roommates, you’re going to have a great stay. They let us put our bags in a locked room long before check in time so we could explore, there were cages under the beds to put luggage in safely, and the showers had great temp and water pressure! The man at the desk even serenaded us in the evening as we sat in the common area! All in all wonderful place with great atmosphere.

Cheap as chips. Centrally located - almost all the major tourist attractions are 2 to 15 minutes walk away.
Excellent selection of pubs, restaurants and transportation. Easily get to Dublin airport or Belfast or anywhere else.
Day trip buses for Giant’s Causeway, Belfast, Dunluce, Dark Hedges and so many other places start literally 5 to 15 minutes walk away from this hostel.
Originally booked only 2 nights (Saturday & Sunday) but because the please is so affordable and I wanted to do the Game of Thrones Studio Tour, I extended the stay for another night (Monday).
Stayed in the 18 bed mixed dorm - everyone was polite, no noise. The dorm has 3 showers and 2 toilets and 3 sinks with a large mirror.
I’d definitely stay here again for a weekend or short visit to anywhere in Ireland, as it’s so easy to make a day trip anywhere in Ireland from here.
Not applicable - can’t find fault for such an incredibly low priced accommodation.

The fact that it was in the city center and close made it a lot easier for us. It was great to have a room to keep our luggage after we checked out. Thanks for the great stay.
As the lights in the room are very dim, It would have been great if there was a small shelf or something next to the mirror in the bathroom and one in the shower space.

Staff very helpful and friendly along with the convenient location which is walkable to area attractions, shopping, Terrace Bar area, Dublin Express bus to airport ( 35 minute ride) and local public transportaion to include buses, trams and rail. They are also very dilligent with keeping security tight requiring guests to be buzzed in deterring people who are not guests to come on the premises.
Single bathroom for 6 people to share. If someone is showering and blow drying their hair it can be as long as 20 minutes or more to wait to use the toilet. It would be great if there was another toilet and sink available for use. The sink could even be in the room so someone could brush teeth or wash face or blow dry hair enabling others to use the bathroom with shower.

Our room was west facing and got full sun. It was way too hot to sleep and wouldn’t cool down. The window opened but it wasn’t enough to cool the room off until 4 or 5 AM. Not a great room for summer months but fine otherwise.

The location was perfect! We were in a 6 bed female dorm room and it was just what we needed.

Ventilation in common area is woeful verging on dreadfully unhealthy. Ceiling mounted fans do nothing but move the stale air around. Probably are laws against keeping animals in such poor air quality, but seemingly not for hostels!

couldn't control the room's temperature at all (quite hot, so had to sleep with windows open to the main street), main person at the door was a bit unpleasant to deal with and he practiced the guitar quite loudly in the common room. personal plugs on beds face downwards so if your adapter isnt snug, itll fall right out.

Was last minute decision to crash the night before my early morning flight. The front desk was very friendly and helpful. I booked the room that almost full but he put me in the more quiet one as I told him I need to sleep right away and wake up very early in the morning for my flight. All went well and I got to chat with a roommate for a bit then slept through the night.

Great location, pretty much everything in the city is within walking distance. Very reasonable price. Everything was clean and they had every amenity I needed. The bed was decently big and very comfy. Check in and checkout was very easy. Staff were ok. One in particular was really nice. Another wasn't exactly "friendly," but he did his job well without complaining. So I guess I can't complain too much. Bathroom was fine. Shower was good, plenty of hot water and good pressure. But there's no shelf to put your shampoo and stuff, mildly annoying. Make sure you bring a bar of soap for the shower. That was the one thing they didn't provide and that I also didn't think to bring. Overall, I'd say this place was "good enough," especially relative to what I paid.
The room was pretty cramped. I was in a room with 4 beds. It was hard to pack/unpack and have enough room for all my stuff. Moving around wasn't always easy, and it got especially difficult if even one of my roommates was in the room as well. The worst part was the air conditioning. We had to sleep with the window open in order for the room to be cool enough to sleep in. It was especially bad the first night (I stayed for 2 nights). I wish they'd given me more than one pillow (couldn't bring my own because it wouldn't fit in my luggage with all my other stuff). I also wish they didn't make me pay for towels. But it was only 1 euro, so it's not like they were bankrupting me.

This place does not offer breakfast, the hot water is very nice, the beds are comfortable, although you get some noise from the street, the place is very centric and you can walk everywhere, has a nice kitchen where you can cook some meals and save some money, has a lot of convenient stores around it
Shower is small, sometimes people can be noisy but remember is a hostel, and there is a lot of homeless people around it, also the smell when you walk arounds is unbelievable, everybody smokes on the street, and there is dog and human waste on the sidewalk, watch where you walk!
