“Hostel with ups and downs”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

The location in central Dublin is great. We had a double room with private facilities, but were surprised to be faced with a bunk bed with a fairly narrow queen-size bed as the lower portion. We ended up using the top mattress placed on the floor for better comfort. If using the upper bed as intended (fenced in by solid... More

“A great place on a budget!”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

We were traveling with a group of college students; this was a trip that was not long on luxury but we had some bright moments. This was our last stop on a two week journey, four days in Dublin and then back home. The bus driver took us through the less scenic areas of town on our way from the... More

“Room worth the price when we finally got the right one....”

Reviewed 9 May 2013

Great distance from the city. Great distance from the airport bus. Extra nice staff. Room was good, when we finally got the one we had paid for (changed 3 times). OK, ordinary breakfast, lots of people there. There is a terrace on the 4th floor. Bring your own towels!

I was on a rugby trip with a team of rugby boys and adult helpers. Not having stayed in a hostel i was wary of what to expect. I had a twin room on the 3rd floor which i shared with another female.

“Good cheap place to stay”

Reviewed 2 April 2013

Good location only a short walk to the centre although in a slightly dodgy area. The rooms were adequate but only one bathroom between 10 was a bit of a struggle. The hostel feels safe and the staff were always friendly. The kitchen area is large but it was always extremely busy at peak times.

Thanks for your response. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We don't recommend guest walk alone at night anywhere in Dublin - it is a capital city after all. Thankfully the bus and luas (tram) stops are just at the end of our short road so guests are safe coming and going from the hostel. We do have extra... More

“Nice place! Would def come back”

Reviewed 26 March 2013

Great price for what you get. They have a locker room and a big kitchen with many stoves to cook. A down side is that they don't have a common area, just the reception. Staff was helpful and friendly. We walked to most sights, Dublin is quite small and easy to go around. Location is great, just thought a bit... More

So glad you enjoyed your stay - you must have missed our common area on the first floor - we have a big common room with tv screen where we show videos and have popcorn and movie nights. When you come back again you can use it!! More

Nice hostel, good location, right next to the bus station, which is very practical when you arrive with all your lugguage! Only 10-15 minutes walk from Temple Bar and all the city centre.

Hi. Thanks for your positive response. We don't have wifi in the rooms for a couple of reasons- 1. in a dorm situation, the tapping of the keys during the night would drive the other guests crazy and 2. we want our guests to interact with each other - hostels are for meeting people and making new friends and it's...
