The location couldn't be better! The staff is nice. The room (had a private double room with private bath) was nice but dirty. It seemed nobody had even vacuum-cleaned. The mattress was old and bad. There were no hooks in the bathroom for towels but fungi in the shower. The sink was so small you could hardly wash your hands... More

The rooms where clean and pretty big. The downside was quite squecy bed and there where no lockable lockers in the rooms, The location cant get any better, 5-10 min walking to basicly everything. Pretty basic breakfast but its enough.

I had to stay here because I was an accompanying adult on a schooltrip (the closest choice in the category of trip is business trip...). Good location, good staff, clean rooms...That's why it does not deserve the worst mark. But what spoils everything is the terrible noise (the kids of my group were not responsible for it at all!). I... More

This hostel was really easy to locate to and get to and from the airport. Great location, since we were able to walk to all of the top tourist attractions. The people at reception are nice and helpful, and try to answer all your questions you have about getting around the city. I stayed in a 10 person room with... More

My friend and I stayed here for two nights in a 10 bed dorm, and I have nothing but good things to say about this place! The staff were friendly, approachable, and very knowledgeable, and also helpful in recommending where to go and what to do. The rooms were very clean and tidy and the bathroom was very modern. I...

As with other reviews, yes this hostel is average, but what do you expect when you're staying in a hostel?? The rooms were clean - "we did the dust test", the staff were friendly, and the facilities were great. Loving the communal kitchen - the last hostel I stayed in in Dublin you were confined to the facilities of your... More

We stayed in a double ensuite and it was a little on the pricey side for what we got. Typical hostel set up with the occasional noisy guests roaming the halls. The best thing about this hostel is the location. We were able to walk to most attractions and Temple Bar is right around the corner.

Quite a average hostel. Free wifi, but only near reception or common room. Great location, rooms & facilities quite worn down, beds are all right. Staff is nice and polite, make sure you are on the right floor, because the pub downstairs can provide a lot of noise.

Times Hostel was a great choice! You're downtown in the middle of the action, staff are knowledgeable and friendly and the facilities were above average. Stayed with a few friends in a 4 person room, our room had its own bathroom and I was impressed by the size. The kitchen was VERY impressive, lots of space to cook and socialize.... More
